If they have the same denominator, add the numerators over the common denominator.
15%2F8%2B21%2F8=%2815%2B21%29%2F8
15%2F8%2B21%2F8=%2836%29%2F8

If the first card is a King then only 3 remain.
P=3%2F51=1%2F17
If the first card is not a King then 4 remain.
P=4%2F51

Use the Pythagorean theorem,
s%5E2%2Bs%5E2=%28sqrt%285%29%29%5E2
2s%5E2=5
s%5E2=5%2F2
s=sqrt%285%2F2%29

In space yes.
Place one line in a plane.
Place a second line perpendicular to the first line in the same plane.
Now separate the two lines in a direction perpendicular to the plane they both lie in.
Now the lines are neither parallel nor do they intersect.
