Answer: N = 40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange 10 people to a line of 8 people.

The number of ways is n = 10P8.

But since the condition given states that 2 people must stay in two particular slots.

The number of possible arrangements becomes;

N = number of ways of arranging the remaining people × number of ways of arranging the other 2.

N = 8P6 × 2P2

N = 8!/2! × 2!

N = 20,160 × 2

N = 40,320 ways

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

fff

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagorean theorum we calculate the height:

\sqrt{5^2-1^2}

=\sqrt{24} = height of triangle

area of triangle = base * height

area = 2*\sqrt{24}

There are two triangles so:

2*2*\sqrt{24}=4\sqrt{24}

Multiply this by 13.25 to get total cost:

=$259.65
