Answer:

970,200

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 100 man race, how many runners have the chance to finish first?

Answer 100.

Now that 1 person is first, how many runners could be second? Well, there are still 99 runners left, and any one of them could be second.

Answer 99.

How many can be third? Using the same idea as above, once one person is first and another is second, that leaves 98 people still running and trying for third. So how many can be in third?

Answer 98.

Now you need to do the math.

100 × 99 × 98 = 970,200

So there are 970,200 different ways.

Hope this helps!! Brainliest :) ?

The measures of ∠1, ∠2, and ∠3 are 40%, 12.5%, and 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral. Find the value of
sweet [91]

The value of x is 81

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

  • The measure of ∠1 is 40% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
  • The measure of ∠2 is 12.5% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
  • The measure of ∠3 is 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral
  • We need to find the value of x

∵ The figure have 4 sides

∴ The figure is a quadrilateral

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a

    quadrilateral is 360°

- Add the four angles and equate the sum by 360

∴ m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + x = 360

∵ m∠1 = 40% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠1 = 40% × 360 = \frac{40}{100} × 360 = 144°

∵ m∠2 = 12.5% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠2 = 12.5% × 360 = \frac{12.5}{100} × 360 = 45°

∵ m∠3 = 25% of the sum of the angle measures of the quadrilateral

∴ m∠3 = 25% × 360 = \frac{25}{100} × 360 = 90°

- Substitute these values in the equation above

∴ 144 + 45 + 90 + x = 360

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 279 + x = 360

- Subtract 279 from both sides

∴ x = 81°

The value of x is 81

Answer:

\frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle and the right triangle hypotenuse.

cos B = \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}} = \frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}
