Answer:
720 possible ways
Step-by-step explanation:
The gold is awarded to the first position, the silver is awarded to the second position while the bronze is awarded to the third position.
The first position can be taken by any of the 10 runners
Now, the second position can be taken by remaining 9 runners
while the third position can be taken by the renaming 8 runners.
Thus, the number of ways in which these medals can be awarded = 10 * 9 * 8 = 720 ways
Answer:
5.460
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a neat little question. I don't think I've seen it before.
Step one
=======
Find c
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9 + 16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = 5
Step 2
====
Set up your first equation for b^2
a^2 + 4^2 = b^2 from triangle XWY
Step 3
=====
Set up your second equation for b^2
25 +b^2 = (a + 3)^2 from triangle XWZ
Step 4
=====
Put the results of Step 2 into step 3 and solve
25 + a^2 + 16 = (a + 3)^2 Collect the like terms on the left.
41 + a^2 = (a + 3)^2 Expand the brackets on the right
41 + a^2 = a^2 + 6a + 9 Transfer the 9 to the left.
32 + a^2 = a^2 + 6a Subtract a^2 from both sides.
6a = 32 Divide by 6
a = 32 / 6
a = 5 2/6
a = 5 1/3
The 2 is in the x place.
Let's substitute 2 for x in our equation.
2(2)-5y=11
Now, we can solve for y. (the other coordinate)
4-5y=11
Subtract 4 from each side.
-5y=7
Divide by -5.
y = -7/5 or -1 2/5 or -1.4
