The number of arrangements of the books is an illustration of permutation

The books can be arranged in 5040 ways

<h3>How to determine the number of arrangements?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total books, n = 10
Books to arrange, r = 4

The number of arrangements is calculated as:

Ways = nPr

Substitute the given values

Ways = ¹⁰P₄

Apply the permutation formula

Ways = 10!/(10 - 4)!

Evaluate the quotient

Ways = 5040

Hence, the books can be arranged in 5040 ways

One leg of triangle is 7 inches longer than the other leg. The hypotenuse is 8 inches longer than the shorter leg. The perimeter

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

5 ; 12 ; 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Shorter leg = x

Other leg = x + 7

Hypotenus = x + 8

Recall:

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²

x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3

(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5

Side can't be negative ;

Hence,

x = shorter side = 5

Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12

Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

3 is what I think the answer would be. 3 + 1 is 4, 4 is not a prime number, 3 is prime.

irinina [24]

32 students would be on the trip. What I did to solve it was a proportion. 8students/ 3 chaperones= x students/12 chaperones.
8*12= 96 and 96/3=32. Therefore 32 students were on the trip.
