Answer:
468 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A catering service offers 5 appetizers, 4 main courses, and 8 desserts
To find: number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts.
Solution:
A permutation is an arrangement of elements such that order of elements matters and repetition is not allowed.
Number of appetizers = 5
Number of main courses = 4
Number of desserts = 8
Number of ways of choosing k terms from n terms =
Number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts =
So, this can be done in 468 ways.
The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.
<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram. Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.
The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.
For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus, from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.
A=b*h
18=(W+17)*W
18=W²+17W
W²+17W-18=0
Solving this quadratic equation, you have:
w1=1 and w2= -18
For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.
As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.
18=l*w
18=l*1
l=18 in
