The first book you select can be any one of 700.

. . . For each of those ...

The second book can be any one of the other 699.

. . . For each of those ...

The third book can be any one of the remining 698.

The total number of ways to gather three books from the shelves into your hands is (700 · 699 · 698) = 341,531,400 ways .

BUT ...

When you bring three books to the check-out counter, Marian the Librarian doesn't know in which order you took them down off the shelves. You could have gathered the same three books in (3 · 2 · 1) = 6 different ways.

So, even though there are 341,531,400 ways to gather up three books, there are only (341,531,400 / 6) = 56,921,900 different GROUPS of three books that you can choose to take home.

Answer:

b. -36/77

Step-by-step explanation:

As 0 < x < $\pi$ /2 => tan x > 0

As 0< y < $\pi$ /2 => tan y > 0

We have the formula:

$\frac{1}{sin^{2}x } =1 + cot^{2}x$ => $\frac{1}{(8/17)^{2} }$ = $1+cot^{2}x$ => $cot^{2} x=225/64$

As tan x = 1/(cotx) => $tan^{2}x = \frac{1}{cot^{2}x} =\frac{1}{225/64} = \frac{64}{225}$

As tan x > 0 => tan x = 8/15

$\frac{1}{cos^{2}y } = 1+tan^{2}y$ => $\frac{1}{(3/5)^{2} } = 1 + tan^{2} y$ => $tan^{2}y=\frac{16}{9}$

As tan y > 0 => tan y = 4/3

As tan (x-y)= $\frac{tan x - tan y}{1+ tanx * tany}$ $=\frac{(8/15)-(4/3)}{1+(8/15)*(4/3)} = \frac{-36}{77}$

In getting the area of and equilateral triangle, you must first consider that all of its sides are congruent and that is 3 inches, so the formula in getting the area is height form its base so in getting its height you must use the pythagorean theorem by dividing the triangle so the hypotenuse of it is 3 and the base of 1.5inches, so the height is 4.77 inches then the area is 7.15 sqr.inch
