<h3>Answer:</h3>

3 11/15 cm

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

AE is the angle bisector of ∠A, so divides the sides of the triangle into a proportion:

... BE:CE = BA:CA = 7:8

Then ...

... BE:BC = 7 : (7+8) = 7:15

ΔDBE ~ ΔABC, so DE = 7/15 × AC

... DE = 7/15 × 8 cm = (56/15) cm

... DE = 3 11/15 cm

a traveler has 7 pieces of luggage . how many ways can the traveler select 3 pieces of luggage for a trip
7nadin3 [17]
Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.

My answer and workings are below...

35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.

210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.

*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.

Alternative way to solve the problem...

Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the procedure to select k items from n distinct items, without replacement, is known as combinations.

The formula to compute the combinations of k items from n is given by the formula:

{n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!\cdot (n-k)!}

Compute the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 as follows:

{101\choose 37}=\frac{101!}{37!\cdot (101-37)!}

        =\frac{101!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=\frac{101\times 100\times 99\times....64!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=5397234129638871133346507775

Thus, the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.
