Wittaler [7]2 years ago

Given that there are 12 persons, the first choice may be in 12 different ways, the second choice may be in 11 different ways, ther third in 10 different ways, the fourth in 9 different ways and the fith in 8 different ways, for a total of:

12x11x10x9x8 different combinations.

Now you have to take in account that 5x4x3x2 are repetitions. So you have to divide the previos counting by 5x4x3x2.

(12x11x10x9x8)/(5x4x3x2) = 792 different subcommittees.

Also, you can use the formula for combinations: C(m,n) = m! / (n! (m-n)!)

C (12, 5) = 12! / (5!) (12-5)! = [12x11x10x9x8x7!] / [5! 7!] = [12x11x10x9x8]/[5x4x3x2] = 792

In the figure shown, suppose m angle ABC=n and m angle ABD=2(m angle DBC). The angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angl
Yanka [14]

Answer:

n/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angle EBC, then <DBE = <EBC

Since <ABC = <ABD+<DBC

n = 2<DBC+<DBC

n = 3<DBC

<DBC = n/3

Since <DBC = 2EBC

n/3 = 2<EBC

n/6 = <EBC

Hence <EBC = n/6
