Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You are choosing 3 from a total of 12. Order does not matter. So you are working with combinations. The answer symbolically is

12C3

12C3 = 12!/(9!3!)

12C3 = 12 * 11 * 10 * 9!/(9! 3!)

12C3 = 12 * 11 * 10/6

12C3 = 2 * 11 * 10

12C3 = 220

<h3>Answer: Choice C) 220 </h3>

========================================

We have 12 choices for the first selection, 11 for the second, and 10 for the third. There are 12*11*10 = 1320 permutations. If your teacher was asking about permutations, then you would be done at this point. However, your teacher is asking about combinations. With combinations, order does not matter.

For any group of 3 items, there are 3! = 3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange this group. This means that we must divide 1320 over 6 to correct for the fact that we overcounted by a factor of 6

In this case,

number of combinations = (number of permutations)/6

number of combinations = 1320/6

number of combinations = 220

More generally, I'm using the connection that

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

x = 81 degrees (The sum of a triangle's angles must be 180 degrees. 48 + 51 = 99, and 180 - 99 = 81)

y = 99 degrees (Y and X are on a supplementary angle. Like a triangle, a supplementary angle's angles must add up to 180 degrees. 180 - 81 = 99)

z = 129 degrees (Z and the 51 degree angle are also on a vertical angle. 180 - 51 = 129)

Hope this helps!

Indicate which formula you would use to solve for the missing side B and then write your answer correct to two decimal places.Wr
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The measure of the angle b is approximately 44.040°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply Law of the Sine to determine the value of angle b, since the length of the side opposite to this side and another side length and its opposite angle are known. That is:

\frac{3.6}{\sin b} = \frac{5.1}{\sin 100^{\circ}}

\sin b = \frac{3.6}{5.1}\times \sin 100^{\circ}

b = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3.6}{5.1}\times \sin 100^{\circ} \right)

b \approx 44.040^{\circ}

The measure of the angle b is approximately 44.040°.

I believe the formula to find the height would be h= 2a/b and if you use that formula and plug in the area (21.7) of each triangle as well as the base (6) then you would get a height of 7.2 cm. I hope this is correct! :)
