Similar Solids Probability 17F630
1. **Problem 1: Calculate the total surface area of the large solid**
The two solids are mathematically similar.
Given:
- Volume of large solid $V_L = 416$ cm³
- Volume of small solid $V_S = 52$ cm³
- Total surface area of small solid $A_S = 60$ cm²
We need to find the total surface area of the large solid $A_L$.
2. **Formula and rules:**
For similar solids, the ratio of volumes is the cube of the scale factor $k$:
$$\frac{V_L}{V_S} = k^3$$
The ratio of surface areas is the square of the scale factor:
$$\frac{A_L}{A_S} = k^2$$
3. **Calculate the scale factor $k$:**
$$k^3 = \frac{V_L}{V_S} = \frac{416}{52} = 8$$
So,
$$k = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2$$
4. **Calculate the total surface area of the large solid:**
$$\frac{A_L}{60} = 2^2 = 4$$
Therefore,
$$A_L = 60 \times 4 = 240 \text{ cm}^2$$

5. **Problem 2: Probability that two pencils chosen are different colours**
Given:
- Total pencils = 13
- Red = 4
- Green = 7
- Yellow = 2
Two pencils are chosen without replacement.
6. **Calculate total number of ways to choose 2 pencils:**
$$\binom{13}{2} = \frac{13 \times 12}{2} = 78$$
7. **Calculate number of ways to choose 2 pencils of the same colour:**
- Red: $\binom{4}{2} = 6$
- Green: $\binom{7}{2} = 21$
- Yellow: $\binom{2}{2} = 1$
Total same colour pairs = $6 + 21 + 1 = 28$
8. **Calculate number of ways to choose 2 pencils of different colours:**
$$78 - 28 = 50$$
9. **Calculate the probability:**
$$P = \frac{50}{78} = \frac{25}{39}$$

10. **Problem 3: Complete the table for $y = -2x^2 + x + 3$**
Given table:
| x | -2 | -1.5 | -1 | -0.5 | 0 | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 |
| y | -7 | -3 | | 2 | 3 | | 0 | | | -7 |
11. **Calculate missing values:**
- For $x = -1$:
$$y = -2(-1)^2 + (-1) + 3 = -2(1) -1 + 3 = -2 -1 + 3 = 0$$
- For $x = 0.5$:
$$y = -2(0.5)^2 + 0.5 + 3 = -2(0.25) + 0.5 + 3 = -0.5 + 0.5 + 3 = 3$$
- For $x = 1.5$:
$$y = -2(1.5)^2 + 1.5 + 3 = -2(2.25) + 1.5 + 3 = -4.5 + 1.5 + 3 = 0$$
- For $x = 2$:
$$y = -2(2)^2 + 2 + 3 = -2(4) + 2 + 3 = -8 + 2 + 3 = -3$$
12. **Completed table:**
| x | -2 | -1.5 | -1 | -0.5 | 0 | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 2.5 |
| y | -7 | -3 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | -3 | -7 |
