Since the order of the students selected is important in this item, the concept used for this question is that of the permutation. For this item it is the "permutation of 28 taken 6". This may be mathematically expressed as 28P6. The numerical answer is 271252800. Thus, the answer is letter C.

To find the number of ways the medals can awarded,we can use permutation.
since the order is important we want to put 6 people in order from 28
No of ways=28 P 6
=28x27x26x25x24x23
=271252800
So the best option is C.
I hope this will work

While visiting Wallawulla State​ Park, Joe approximated the angle of elevation to the top of a mound to be 40 degrees . After wa
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Height of mound = 794 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To illustrate the angle of elevation and distance, i have drawn it and attached below.

Now, from my diagram;

h = the height of the mound

At his first point of his trip to the foot of the mound, the angle of elevation is 40°, while the horizontal distance to the foot of the mound is "X"

So, by triangle definition,

tan(40°) = h/x

And so;

h = x tan40

h = 0.8391x  - - - - (eq 1)

At his second point of the trip to the foot of the mound, Joe is now,

"(x - 450) ft" from the foot of the mound.

Thus, his angle of elevation is 40 + 18 = 58°.

So, by triangle definition,

tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)

h = (x - 450)•(tan(58°))

h = 1.6003(x - 450)

h = 1.6003x - 720.135   - - - - -(eq2)

To get the height(h) of the mound, let's equate (eq1) to (eq2).

0.8391x = 1.6003x - 720.135

1.6003x - 0.8391x = 720.135

0.7612x = 720.135

x = 720.135/0.7612

x = 946.0523 ft

Let's put this value for x in eq (1);

h = 0.8391 x 946.0523 = 793.83 ft ≈ 794ft

Find the missing side of each right triangle. Side c is the hypotenuse. Sides a and b are the legs. Leave your answers in simple
vredina [299]

Answer:

Side b = 10.2 m (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

11² = 121

15² = 225

225 - 121 = 104

√104 = 10.2 (1 d.p.)  

Side b = 10.2m

(Full answer = 10.198039)

11² + 10.2² = 15²
