The different sets of people could that have succeeded, if 10 people were trying to be one of the first 5 callers to a radio station is 252.

<h3>What is combination and permutation?</h3>

combination and permutation can be described as the two different ways that involves the grouping elements of a set into subsets.

It should be noted that in a combination, the elements of the subset can be using some order, order, hence The different sets of people could that have succeeded, if 10 people were trying to be one of the first 5 callers to a radio station is 252.

You have 600 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If you do not fence the side along the river

inn [45]

Answer:

The length and width of plot is $L=300\:ft$ , $W=150\:ft$

Largest area of the plot is $A=45000 ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume width as x and length as y. Given that length of fencing is 600 feet and fencing is enclosed on 3 sides. So perimeter is given as,

Perimeter = width + length + width

Substituting the value,

$600=x+y+x$

$600= 2x+y$ ….1

Now area of fence of rectangular box is given as follows,

$A=xy$ ….2

Solving equation 1 for y, subtracting 2x from both sides,

$600-2x= y$

Substituting the value in equation 2,

$A=x\left (600-2x \right )$

Simplifying

$A=600x-2x^{2}$

Rewriting,

$A=-2x^{2}+600x$

Above equation looks like quadratic equation $f\left ( x \right )=ax^{2}+bx+c$ whose graph looks like parabola.

Comparing equation f(x) and A values of a, b and c are, $a=-2,b=600$ and $c=0$ .

Now maximum of $f\left ( x \right )$ occurs at vertex.

The x coordinate of the vertex is given as $-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

Substituting the values,

$x=-\dfrac{600}{2\left (-2 \right )}$

Simplifying,

$x=\dfrac{600}{4}$

$x=150$

So width of plot is 150 feet.

Now to calculate value of length by using equation 1,

$600= 2x+y$

Substituting the values,

$600= 2\left (150 \right )+y$

$600= 300+y$

Subtracting 300 from both sides,

$300= y$

So length of plot is 300 ft.

The y coordinate of the vertex is given as $y=f\left ( -\dfrac{b}{2a} \right )$ which also means, $y=f\left ( 150 \right )$

$\therefore A=-2\left (150 \right )^{2}+600\left (150 \right )$

Simplifying,

$\therefore A=-2\left (22500 \right )^{2}+600\left (150 \right )$

$\therefore A=-45000+90000$

$\therefore A=45000$

So, area of the plot will be $A=45000 ft^{2}$

The leaning tower of Pisa currently "leans" at a 4 degree angle and has a vertical height of 55.86 meters. How tall was the lean

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

56 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let the leaning tower's be h meters tall, when it was originally built.

We can see from our attachment that the side with length 55.86 meters is hypotenuse and h is adjacent side for 4 degree angle.

Since we know that cosine relates the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

$\text{Cos}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

$\text{Cos (4)}=\frac{55.86}{h}$

$h=\frac{55.86}{\text{Cos (4)}}$

$h=\frac{55.86}{0.99756405026}$

$h=55.996\approx 56$

Therefore, the leaning tower was approximately 56 meters, when it was originally built.
