1. How many ways are there to make an octagon with 19 different sticks when order DOESN’T matter?

mart [117]

Answer:

1. 19C8 = 75582

2. 19P8= 3047466240

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the number of ways to get 8 sticks from 19. At first, you have 19 choices, then 18, then 17, all the way to 12. Giving you 19*18*17*...*13*12, or 19!/11!.

Combination:

When order doesn't matter, you have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, or 19!/11!/8!=19C8=75582

Permutation:

When order doesn't matter, you don't have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, since you count each of these, and 19!/11!=19P8=3047466240.

Geometry :))), please help me

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.

This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).

So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.

On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.

9/18 = 0.5

This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:

If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5

BE = x+23

EC = x+41

Therefore:

$\frac{x+23}{x+41} = 0.5$
