Answer:

6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up. To calculate the arrangement of first 6 swimmers in first heat we will use combinations because order doesn't matter.

So to select 6 swimmers out of 13 contestants number of different ways

= ^{13}C_{6}

= \frac{13!}{(6!)(13-6)!}

= \frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{6!\times 7!}

= \frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8}{6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}

= \frac{1235520}{720}

= 1716

Therefore, 6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.

A parallelogram has a base of 4.5 cm and an area of 9.495 cm². Tania wrote the equation 4.5x = 9.495 to represent this situation
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The height of the parallelogram is 2.11 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the parallelogram is equal to multiplication of base and height.

Given:

Parallelogram has base of 4.5 cm.

Are of the parallelogram is 9.495 cm².

Equation is 4.5x=9.495

Calculation:

(a)

Are of the parallelogram is the product of base length and height of the parallelogram.

Area of the parallelogram is expressed as follow:

A=lh          

Substitute 9.495 cm² for A and 4.5 cm for l in above equation as follows:

9.495=4.5h             …… (1)

Now relate the equation (1) and given equation. So, here x is nothing but the height of the parallelogram.

(b)

From equation (1), height of the parallelogram is calculated as follows:

9.495=4.5h

h=\frac{9.495}{4.5}

h=2.11 cm

Thus, the height of the parallelogram is 2.11 cm.

Answer:

  x° ≈ 50.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides adjacent and opposite the angle are given. The appropriate trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(x°) = 50/42

The inverse function is used to find the angle whose tangent is a particular value:

  x° = arctan(50/42) ≈ 49.9697°

  x° ≈ 50.0°
