Answer:

The train can be made up in a total of \frac{8!}{5!2!} ways

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst, lets assume that all cars are distinct. If that is the case, then, since we have a total of 8 cars, we have

- 8 possibilities for the first car

- 7 possibilities for the second car

- 6 possibilities for the third car

and so on.

So we have a total of 8! = 8*7*6*...*3*2*1 possibilities to make a train.

Now lets take into account that 5 of the cars are identical within each other. Then we could make a permutation of those 5 cars and we wouldnt notice. Hence, the order of the 5 cars of second-class doesnt matter and as a result, we should divide 8! by the total of possible permutations of the 5 second class cars, that it, 5!

We also need to divide the result by 2! = 2, because which first class car came first doesnt matter either. Therefore, the train can be made up in a total of \frac{8!}{5!2!} ways.

Answer:

Part A) The volume of the entire cone is 168\pi\ in^3

Part B) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

where

r is the radius of the base of the cone

h is the height of the cone

In this problem triangle ABD is similar to triangle ACE

Remember that If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{BD}{CE}

substitute the given values

\frac{7}{14}=\frac{3}{x}

solve for x

x=14(3)/7\\x=6\ in

To find out the volume of the entire cone we have

r=CE=x=6\ in

h=AC=14\ in

substitute in the formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(14)

V=168\pi\ in^3

Part B) How did you determine the value for x in triangle ACE

In this problem triangle ABD is similar to triangle ACE

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{BD}{CE}

substitute the given values and solve for x
