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

~~~~~~x^2 -10x +10  =0\\\\\implies x^2 -2 \cdot 5 \cdot x +5^2 -5^2 +10 = 0\\\\\implies (x-5)^2 -25+10 = 0\\\\\implies (x-5)^2 -15=0\\\\\implies (x-5)^2 =  15

If triangle RST and triangle XYZ are similar, which of these equations must be true?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are similar, that means the proportions for corresponding sides will be the same.

          I personally ignore the picture and use the labels of "triangle RST and triangle XYZ" that the problem gives <em>because</em> the XYZ picture is not lined up with the similarity it has with RST.

(A) says that side ST is corresponding with side YZ,

          [] Triangle R<u>ST</u> and triangle X<u>YZ</u>

          -> Correct

(A) also says that side RT is corresponding with size XZ,

          [] Triangle <u>R</u>S<u>T</u> and triangle <u>X</u>Y<u>Z</u>

          -> Correct

               This means that option A is the correct answer.
