Find how many six-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (with repetitions), if:
Goshia [24]

Answer:

case 1 = 2592

case 2 =  729

case 1 + case 2 =  2916

(this is not a direct adition, because case 1 and case 2 have some shared elements)

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1)

6 digits numbers that can be divided by 25.

For the first four positions, we can use any of the 6 given numbers.

For the last two positions, we have that the only numbers that can be divided by 25 are numbers that end in 25, 50, 75 or 100.

The only two that we can create with the numbers given are 25 and 75.

So for the fifth position we have 2 options, 2 or 7,

and for the last position we have only one option, 5.

Then the total number of combinations is:

C = 6*6*6*6*2*1 = 2592

case 2)

The even numbers are 2,4 and 6

the odd numbers are 3, 5 and 7.

For the even positions we can only use odd numbers, we have 3 even positions and 3 odd numbers, so the combinations are:

3*3*3

For the odd positions we can only use even numbers, we have 3 even numbers, so the number of combinations is:

3*3*3

we can put those two togheter and get that the total number of combinations is:

C = 3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3^6 = 729

If we want to calculate the combinations togheter, we need to discard the cases where we use 2 in the fourth position and 5 in the sixt position (because those numbers are already counted in case 1) so we have 2 numbers for the fifth position and 2 numbers for the sixt position

Then the number of combinations is

C = 3*3*3*3*2*2 = 324

Case 1 + case 2 = 324 + 2592 = 2916

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 1:2:3. Show that this triangle is a right-angled triangle. The hypotenuse of the trian
natita [175]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Sum the parts of the ratio , 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 parts

Divide sum of angles in a triangle by 6 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

180° ÷ 6 = 30° ← value of 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 30° = 60°

3 parts = 3 × 30° = 90°

Since there is an angle of 90° then the triangle is right.

(b)

The shortest side is the side opposite the smallest angle of 30°

Using the sine ratio and the exact value

sin30° = \frac{1}{2} , then

sin30° = \frac{opp}{hyp} = \frac{opp}{19} = \frac{1}{2} ( cross- multiply )

2 opp = 19 ( divide both sides by 2 )

opp = 9,5

Shortest side in the triangle is 9.5 cm
