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,

The numerical value of the combination is 28. Thus, the answer is letter B.

<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

The circles are identical. What is the circumference of each circle? Circle 1: radius of 2x; Circle 2: diameter of 2x+3. A. 3/2
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

C=6π

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two circles are identical. The radius of first circle is 2x and the diameter of other circle is 2x+3.

If identical, it means that the radius of both circles are same i.e.

2x=\dfrac{2x+3}{2}\ \ (\because\ r=\dfrac{D}{2}, d=\text{diameter})\\\\4x=2x+3\\\\2x=3\\\\x=1.5

Radius of both circles is 2(1.5)=3

The circumference of a circle is given by :

C=2\pi r\\\\C=2\pi (3)\\\\C=6\pi

So, the circumference of each circle is 6π.

Linh buys two T-shirts for $12 each, a pair of shoes for $28, and a pair of jeans for $45. She has a coupon for 30 percent off h
Darina [25.2K]
12x2= $24
24+28+45= $97

So $97 is 100%

So 100%-30% =70% (30% off)
(note: 70% = 70/100 = 0.7)

97 x 0.7 = $67.90
