60 different cars could finish first place
of the 59 that didn't win, any of the 59 could.
finish second
of the remaining 58, any could finish 3rd, or 58
possibilities.

This our answer is 60*59*58=205,320

In circle P with mNRQ = 60°, find the angle measure of minor arc NQ

Galina-37 [17]

Given:

m∠NRQ = 60°

To find:

The angle measure of minor arc NQ

Solution:

The inscribed angle is half of the intercepted arc.

$$\Rightarrow m\angle NRQ =\frac{1}{2} m(ar NQ)$

Multiply by 2 on both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 2 \times m\angle NRQ =2 \times \frac{1}{2} m(ar NQ)$

$$\Rightarrow 2 \ m\angle NRQ =m(ar NQ)$

Substitute m∠NRQ = 60°.

$$\Rightarrow 2\times 60^\circ=m(ar NQ)$

$$\Rightarrow 120^\circ=m(ar NQ)$

The measure of minor arc NQ is 120°.

Musya8 [376]

$m= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ \\ m= \frac{-2-2}{2-(-2)} \\ \\ m= \frac{-4}{4} \\ \\ m=-1$

$y=mx+b \\ \\ y=-1x+b$

$(2)=(-1)(-2)+b \\ \\ 2=2+b \\ \\ 0=b$

$y=-1x+0 \\ \\ y=-x$
