Since the problem is not concerned about the order of choosing the captain, the concept used is the combination. From 8 players, 2 are to be chosen,

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

                   B.  28

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that the total number of players in a basketball team are: 8

Now in order to select two players out of the total 8 players we need to use the method of combination since the objective is just to chose them and not to arrange.

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is calculated as:

                    8_C_2

which is solved as:

8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times (8-2)!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6!}{2\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7}{2}\\\\\\8_C_2=28

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is:

                             28

A bowling ball has a diameter of 8.5 inches. If it is rolled down a 60 foot bowling lane, how many complete revolutions will it
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

12 in = 1 ft

first you need to convert 60ft to in:

60 * 12 = 720in

then divide 720(the amount of space you are covering by 8.5

720/8.5 = 84.7

then i guess you can round it to a full revolution so it would be 85

Can someone help me find x of this triangle
uysha [10]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a triangle is 180°.

6x + 1 + 6x - 14 + 9x + 4 = 180°

Arrange the like terms together and simply this equation.

6x + 6x + 9x + 1 + 4 - 14 = 180°

21x - 9 = 180°

Shifting '-9' to the other side of the equation gives you '+9'

21x = 180° + 9

21x = 189

Shifting 21 to the other side of the equation (to get x) makes it  ÷21 (multiply)

x = 189 ÷ 21

x = 9
