Answer:

a) 10

b) 15

c) 190

d) {n \choose 2} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!2!}

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with the generic item (d). In order to draw a chord we need to pick two endpoints from the total of n points of the circle and draw the line between them. The total amount of lines we can draw is equivalent to the total pair of points we can pick to draw them.

In other words, we can draw as many chords as the amount of subsets of 2 elements we can pick from a set of n. That number is the combinatorial number of n with 2 given by

{n \choose 2} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!2!}

a) If n = 5, the answer is

{5 \choose 2} = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!} = \frac{120}{6*2} = 10

there are 10 possibilities

b) for n = 6

{6 \choose 2} = \frac{6!}{(6-2)!2!} = \frac{720}{24*2} = 15

15 possibilities

c) for n = 20, we have

{20 \choose 2} = \frac{20!}{(20-2)!2!} = 190

possibilities.

I hope that works for you!

Answer:

84,375 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the surface area of the pyramid. The pyramid can be divided into 4 triangles and one square (the bottom).

Area of a triangle is 1/2*b*h where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height.

Area of a square is length times width.

Total area = 4\times(\frac{1}{2}\times 225 \times 75)+225\times225 = 84375 m^2

Can anyone help me with this please?

You are taking off 8 each 2 at x, so it would be four for each 1 at x. therefore 2 is 9, 1 is 13 and...

the value of y is 17 when x = 0

sorry if i explained that bad
