15b. Since it is "similar in shape", the proportion of length to width to height is the same. Thus,
$1.20 × (2)³ = $9.60
16a. since ABCD is a //gram, vector AB = vector DC
|BE|
= (2/3) |BC|
= (2/3) |AC-AB|
= (2/3) |AD+DC-AB|
= (2/3) |AD| (since AB=DC)
= (2/3) |(3,-4)|
= (2/3) sqrt(9+16)
= (2/3) sqrt(25)
= 10/3
16b. let vector FE =
k vector FA
k
= |CE|/|AD|
= |BC/3|/|BC| (since BC=3CE and AD=BC)
= 1/3
vector AE
= vectors AD+DC+CE
= vectors AD+AB+(CB/3)
= 2/3 AD + AB (since CB = -AD)
= 2/3 (3,-4) + (6,2)
= (8,-2/3)
FE = FA/3 = (1/3)(FE+EA)
(2/3)FE
= (1/3)EA
= (-1/3)AE
FE
= (-1/2)AE
= (-1/2)(8,-2/3)
= (-4,1/3)

21. Total number of outcomes = 2×2×2×2=16
ai. [P(H,T,T,T)+P(T,H,T,T)+P(T,T,H,T)+P(T,T,T,H)+P(T,T,T,T)]/total number of outcomes = 5/16
aii. [P(H,H,T,T)+P(H,T,H,T)+P(H,T,T,H)+P(T,H,H,T)+P(T,H,T,H)+P(T,T,H,H)]/total number of outcomes = 3/8
aii. [P(T,H,H,H)+P(H,T,H,H,)+P(H,H,T,H)+P(H,H,H,T)+P(H,H,H,H)]/total number of outcomes = 5/16
b. P(win,lose)+P(lose,win)
= (5/16)×[1-(5/16)]+[1-(5/16)]×(5/16)
= (5/16×11/16)+(5/16×11/16)
= 55/256 + 55/256
= 55/128
