Answer:

a) 1,518,000

b) 2,284,880

c) 60,720

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a. if the first letter must be Upper C comma Upper X comma Upper T comma or Upper M and no letter may be​ repeated?

We draw 5 boxes, and based on that we will see the total possible cases. There are 26 alphabets

The first box should have C or X or T or M .No letter may be repeated.

Any                    Any             Any                 Any                    Any

5 alphabets    of the            of the              of the                 of the

C,X , T , M      remaining     remaining       remaining          remaining

                   25 alphabets   24 alphabets   23 alphabets   22 alphabets

Therefore; total possible call letters = 5 × 25 × 24 × 23 × 22 = 1,518,000

b)

The first box should have C or X or T or M Repeats as allowed

Any                    Any             Any                 Any                    Any

5 alphabets    of the            of the              of the                 of the

C,X , T , M      remaining     remaining       remaining          remaining

                   26 alphabets   26 alphabets   26 alphabets   26 alphabets

Therefore Total possible call letters = 5 × 26 × 26 × 26 × 26 = 2,284,880

c)   The first box should have   C,X , T , M  and end with S

So the last place if fixed, and we now have 25 alphabets. The first box can go in 5 ways. The next box then will have only 24 letters to choose from, as the first box has taken a letter and the last box already has S in it. Repetition not allowed

Any                    Any             Any                 Any                       S

5 alphabets    of the            of the              of the                  is fixed

C,X , T , M      remaining     remaining       remaining           here

                   24 alphabets   23 alphabets   22 alphabets  

Therefore Total possible call letters = 5 × 24 × 23 × 22  × 1 =  60,720

The surface area of a right cone is 400.2 m2. The radius of the cone is 6.0 m. Determine the height of the cone to the nearest m
svetoff [14.1K]
                 S = πr(r + √(h² + r²))
          400.2 = 3.14(6)(6 + √(h² + 6²))
          400.2 = 18.84(6 + √(h² + 36))
          18.84                 18.84
        21¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = 6 + √(h² + 36))
        - 6         - 6
        15¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = √(h² + 36)
231²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h² + 36
- 36                       - 36
195²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h²
                14 ≈ h

Which equation is a proportion? <br> 1/3= 1/4 <br> 3/4=6/9<br> 5/8=20/32 <br> 7/9=21/28
rosijanka [135]
Well, 1/3 is equal to 0.3, and 1/4 is equal to .25, so it can't be a.
3/4 is equal to .75 and 6/9 is equal to 0.6, so it can't be b.
5/8 is equal to 0.625 and 20/32 is also equal to 0.625, so it could be c.
7/9 is equal to 0.7 and 21/28 is equal to 0.75, so it can't be D.
Your best bet is C. Because both sides of C are equal.
C 5/8=20/32
