Answer:
choices
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy <u><em>does not</em></u> matter.
To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.
Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is
, where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.
In this case, and
. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:
(Expand the factorials)
(Cancel out
)
(Evaluate denominator)
(Cancel out
)
Therefore, the child has different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!
<h3>Answer: 38</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The square markers tell us that we have right angles (aka 90 degree angles) at angle XYZ and XWZ. They are congruent by definition.
Another pair of congruent angles is WXZ and YXZ which are the left-most angles of each triangle.
The sides XZ and XZ are congruent to each other (reflexive property)
Based on those three previous paragraphs, we can use the Angle Angle Side (AAS) congruence theorem to prove that the triangles are congruent.
Specifically we could write . The order of the letters is important so we know which letters pair up (eg: Y and W pair up as the 90 degree angles).
--------------------------------------
In short, the triangles are identical copies of each other. The upper triangle reflects over the line XZ to get the lower triangle, and vice versa. This means the smaller corresponding pieces must also be the same.
In this case, WZ = YZ = 38
