Answer : 3, 360 ways

Total number of people running the race = 16

We have three slot to be filled for first, second and third

Any person can take the first position irrespective of the arrangement

one out of the 16 people can come first

out of the 15 people remaining , one person can also come second remaining 14

out of the 14 people, one person can also come third

The number of ways the gift can be awarded = 16 x 15 x 14

The nummber of ways the prizes can be awarded = 3360 ways

Is anyone good with triangle inequalities? I provided a picture for the problem.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1 < x < 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Inequality Theorem

Let y and z be two of the side lengths of a triangle. The length of the third side x cannot be any number. It must satisfy all the following restrictions:

x + y > z

x + z > y

y + z > x

Combining the above inequalities, and provided y>z, the third size must satisfy:

y - z < x < y + z

We are given the measures y=10, z=9. The third side must satisfy:

10 - 9 < x < 10 + 9

1 < x < 19
