Consider the diagram below. Which of the following statements is correct?
2 answers:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows two parallel lines XY and WV.
1. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal XW, then angles YXZ and VWZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.
2. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal YV, then angles XYZ and WVZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.
AA similarity theorem states if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
So, by AA similarity

<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is
