Answer:

(a) 4.148 x 10^(12) ways

(b) 5,827,360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Demonstrators (D)  = 44

Number of Repudiators (R) = 56

(a)

5 senate members must be Repudiators and 5 must be demonstrators, assuming that the order at which they are selected is irrelevant:

N= C^{D}_{5} * C^{R}_{5}\\N=\frac{56!}{5!(56-5)!} *\frac{44!}{5!(44-5)!} \\N=3,819,816*1,086,008\\N=4.148 *10^{12}

(b)

Since there are two different positions, (speaker and vice speaker), order is important in this situation, and the total number of ways to select two senators from each party is:

N= P^{D}_{2} * P^{R}_{2}\\N=\frac{56!}{(56-2)!} *\frac{44!}{(44-2)!} \\N=3,080*1,892\\N=5,827,360

You are constructing triangle ABC given the line segments AB and AC and ∠A. The first thing you do is copy segment AC. Next, you
kondaur [170]

Answer:

  C)  Copy AB

Step-by-step explanation:

The general idea is that you copy one segment, then the angle (so you know which direction the other segment goes), then the second segment. Finally, you connect the ends of the segments to complete the triangle.

The given description says you've done the first two parts of this, so you must mark off the length of segment AB in the direction you just constructed. That is, you must ...

  Copy AB.

_____

In the attached figure, the construction did segment AB first, and is about to do segment AC next. The idea is the same. Swap points B and C in your mind to match the description in the problem statement.
