Using the Pythagorean Theorem,
radius^2 = 40^2 + 9^2
radius^2 = 1,600 + 81
radius^2 = 1,681
radius = 41
radius^2 = 40^2 + 9^2
radius^2 = 1,600 + 81
radius^2 = 1,681
radius = 41
We're going to be using combination since this question is asking how many different combinations of 10 people can be selected from a set of 23.
We would only use permutation if the order of the people in the committee mattered, which it seems it doesn't.
Formula for combination:
Where represents the number of objects/people in the set and
represents the number of objects/people being chosen from the set
There are 23 people in the set and 10 people being chosen from the set
Usually I would prefer solving such fractions by hand instead of a calculator, but factorials can result in large numbers and there is too much multiplication. Using a calculator, we get
Thus, there are 1,144,066 different 10 person committees that can be selected from a pool of 23 people. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
(b) The number of pounds of berries each person would receive is pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of berries in first basket = 3 3/8 pounds
Now,
So, the amount of berries in first basket = 3.375 pounds
The amount of berries in second basket = 2 7/8 pounds
Now,
So, the amount of berries in second basket = 2.875 pounds
Now, the total berries = Berries in ( First + Second) basket
= 3.375 pounds + 2.875 pounds
= 6.25 pounds
So, the number of pounds each person would have =
Now,
So, the number of pounds of berries each person would receive is pounds.
