A square has 4 congruent sides.
Let x = the length of each side.
The perimeter of the original square is x + x + x + x = 4x
Each side is increased by 6 inches, so all sides combined
are increased by 4 * 6 in. = 24 in.
The perimeter is now 4x + 24.
We are told the new perimeter is 52 in.

4x + 24 = 52

4x = 28

x = 7

Answer: Each side measured 7 inches.

1.How many combinations are possible from the letters HOLIDAY if the letters are taken?
Lesechka [4]

Using the combination formula, it is found that:

1. A. 7 combinations are possible.

B. 21 combinations are possible.

C. 1 combination is possible.

2. There are 245 ways to group them.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Exercise 1, item a:

One letter from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,1} = \frac{7!}{1!6!} = 7

7 combinations are possible.

Item b:

Two letters from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,2} = \frac{7!}{2!5!} = 21

21 combinations are possible.

Item c:

7 letters from a set of 7, hence:

C_{7,7} = \frac{7!}{0!7!} = 1

1 combination is possible.

Question 2:

Three singers are taken from a set of 7, and four dances from a set of 10, hence:

T = C_{7,3}C_{10,4} = \frac{7!}{3!4!} \times \frac{10!}{4!6!} = 245

There are 245 ways to group them.

The student council at Livingston High School is making T-shirts to sell for a fundraiser, at a price of $16 apiece. The costs,
Allushta [10]

Answer:

5 shirts must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the equation. Each shirt (x) is sold for $16:

For every amount (y) for x: (y)(x) = (16)(y)

The cost is $4, with the setup fee as $60.

(16)(y) = (4)(y) + 60

16y = 4y + 60

Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 4y from both sides.

16y (-4y) = 4y (-4y) + 60

16y - 4y = 60

12y = 60

Next, isolate the variable (y). Divide 12 from both sides.

(12y)/12 = (60)/12

y = 60/12

y = 5

5 shirts must be sold.

To check, plug in 5 for y in the equation:

16y = 4y + 60

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

Simplify.

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

80 = 4(5) + 60

80 = 20 + 60

80 = 80 (True).

Convert 150 degrees to radian
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert degrees to radians

radian measure = degree measure × \frac{\pi }{180}

Hence

radian measure = 150° × \frac{\pi }{180}

Cancel both 150 and 180 by 30, then

radian measure = 5 × \frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{5\pi }{6}
