Answer:

8.95

Step-by-step explanation:

here we are going to use pythagoras theorem

a² +b² =c²

the vertical can be taken as a and horizontal as b

4² +8²=c²

this is the same as

c²= 4²+ 8²

c²= 16+ 64

c²=80

to get rid of the square we shall put both sides under a root

$\sqrt{c ^{2} } = \sqrt{80}$

c = 8.95

How many 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players? Consider only the members selected, not their board posi

<u>Answer</u>:

3003 number of 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players.

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

Given:

Number of the interested players = 15

To Find:

Number of 5-member chess teams that can be chosen = ?

Solution:

Combinations are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula $nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n - r)!}$

where

n represents the total number of items,

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Now we have n = 15 and r = 5

Substituting the values,

$15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(15- 5)!}$

$15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(10)!}$

$15C_5 = \frac{15\times \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 }{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1(10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}$
