Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The total number of handshakes can be represented by the combination of 18 combination 2, which can be mathematically expressed as:

\mathbf{^{18}C_2} .

where;

\mathbf{^{18}C_2} is the number of ways two people can shake themselves from a total of 28 people without much regard about the order of arrangement of the handshakes.

\mathbf{^{18}C_2 = \dfrac{18!}{2!(18-2)!}}

\mathbf{= \dfrac{18!}{2!(16)!}}

= 153

From these 6 companies, the possibility that there will be handshakes from within the company is \mathbf{^3 C_2}

\mathbf{^3 C_2} = \dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}

= \mathbf{ \dfrac{3 \times 2!}{2!(1)!}}

= 3

However, number of companies = 6

∴ the number of handshakes within companies = 3 × 6 = 18

But we are being told that :

If the representatives did not shake hands with people from their own company, how many handshakes took place

Therefore, the number of handshakes that took place in regard to the given criteria = 153 - 18

= 135

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. ​ (9​,9​) and ​(6​,8​)
mars1129 [50]

<u>Answer:</u>

The mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given two points (9​,9​) and ​(6​,8​) as the endpoints for a line segment and we are to find the midpoint of this segment.

We know that the formula for finding the mid point is:

<em>Mid point = (\frac {x_1 + x_1 }{ 2 } ,\frac { y_1 + y_2} {2} )</em>

So substituting the given values of the coordinates of the endpoints in the above formula to get:

= (\frac {9 + 6}{2} , \frac {9 + 8}{2} )

= (\frac {15}{2} , \frac {17} {2} )

=(7.5, 8.5)

Therefore, the mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).
