Answer:

165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be 11 choices for the first donut, (11 - 1) = 10 choices for the second donut, and (11 - 2) = 9 choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be 11 \times 10 \times 9 unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type x, y, and z, the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 would include the following 3 \times 2 \times 1 arrangements:

  • xyz.
  • xzy.
  • yxz.
  • yzx.
  • zxy.
  • zyx.

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 by 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 to find the actual number of donut combinations:

\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of 3 objects from a set of 11 distinct objects:

\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Translate the figure 5 units up. Then decide if each statement about translated figures is true or false,
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

First, second, and third are true.

Fourth is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. When we're translating a figure, everything about the figure stays the same except its location on the coordinate plane. The side lengths, the angle measures, and parallel sides will not change.

2. The fourth one is false because two figures/objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size. Since translation only affects the location on a coordinate plane, the original and final figure are congruent.
