Answer:

1320

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using something called a permutation. There are 12 possible swimmers that can be in first place. After that, there are 11 swimmers left to be in second place. Finally there are 10 swimmers left for third place. Multiplying these together, you get 12*11*10=1320 ways. Hope this helps!

x = 11/6
x = 1 5/6 cups of strawberries

Can you resolve this?<br><br> A= Area<br> P= Perimeter<br> AT= Total Area<br><br> plis help D:
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

in steps

Step-by-step explanation:

upper square:  P = 20x² + 8

<u>side: P/4 = 5x² + 2</u>

<u>A = side² = (5x² + 2)² = 25x⁴ + 20x² + 4</u>

Middle equilateral Triangle: A = x² + 4x + 4       base = 2x + 4

A = base x height / 2

(x + 2)² = 2 (x + 2) x height /2

<u>height = x + 2</u>

<u>perimeter = 2 (x + 2) x 3 = 6x + 12</u>

Lower trapezoid: A₁ = 2x² + 24x + 40 = 2 (x² + 12x + 20) = 2 (x + 2) (x + 10)

A₁ = (x + 10)² = 2 (x + 2) (x + 10)

x + 10 = 2x + 4

x = 6

<u>A₂ = (2x + 4) (x + 10) / 2 = (16 x 16) / 2 = 128</u>

A₁ = (6 + 10)² = 256

<u>AT = 256 + 128 = 384</u>
