Answer:

The combination is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 people in a raffle drawing. two raffle winners each wing gift cards . each gift card is the same.

Lets call the winners Winner 1, Winner 2. According to the given statement each gift card is same, thus any permutation of these two winners are  equivalent.This tells us that the order of winners does not matter and the situation involves a combination.

Now we have to calculate the combination of 2 winners from 6 people.

nCm = m!/n!(m-n)!

where m = 6

n = 2

2C6 = 6!/2!(6-2)!

2C6 = 6!/2!(4)!

2C6 = 6*5*4*3*2*1/2*1*4*3*2*1

2C6= 6*5/2*1

2C6=30/2

2C6 = 15

Thus the combination is 15....

A carpenter is building a unique jewelry box in the shape of a right triangular prism. The base has measurements of 4 inches, 3
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.

In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.

The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.

Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30

If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84
