150 different committees are possible

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a student dance committee is to be formed consisting of 2 boys and 4 girls

The membership is to be chosen from 5 boys and 6 girls

To find : number of different possible committees

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected

<em><u>The formula for combination is given as:</u></em>

n C_{r}=\frac{n !}{(n-r) ! r !}

where "n" represents the total number of items, and "r" represents the number of items being chosen at a time

<em><u>We have to select 2 boys from 5 boys</u></em>

So here n = 5 and r = 2

\begin{aligned} 5 C_{2} &=\frac{5 !}{(5-2) ! 2 !}=\frac{5 !}{3 ! 2 !} \\\\ 5 C_{2} &=\frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 2 \times 1} \\\\ 5 C_{2} &=10 \end{aligned}

<em><u>We have to select 4 girls from 6 girls</u></em>

Here n = 6 and r = 4

\begin{aligned} 6 C_{4} &=\frac{6 !}{(6-4) ! 4 !}=\frac{6 !}{2 ! 4 !} \\\\ 6 C_{4} &=\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}=15 \end{aligned}

<em><u>Committee is to be formed consisting of 2 boys and 4 girls:</u></em>

So we have to multiply 5 C_{2} and 6 C_{4}

5 C_{2} \times 6 C_{4}=10 \times 15=150

So 150 different committees are possible

Consider a circle that has a circumference of 28/3.14 centimeters. What is the area of this circle? Answer fast plz also can you
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A=6.33\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

C=\frac{28}{3.14}\ cm

\pi=3.14

substitute the values

\frac{28}{3.14}=2(3.14)r

r=\frac{28}{19.7192}\ cm

r=1.42\ cm

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

substitute the values

A=(3.14)(1.42)^{2}

A=6.33\ cm^2

the width of a rectangle is 4 inches less than the length ,the perimeter is 48,what is the dimensions?
zalisa [80]
Answer: 10 inches × 14 inches

Work:

length = x inches
width = x - 4 inches
perimeter = 2(l+w)

48 = 2[(x)+(x - 4)]
48 = 2(2x - 4)
24 = 2x - 4
28 = 2x
14 = x

length = x inches = 14 inches
width = x - 4 inches = 14 - 4 = 10 inches
