Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be

Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90

Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.

Answer:

1 out of 336 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you picked three numbers, you are going to put three blanks.

What to do in this situation is to have _ _ _. Since there are numbers 1-8, what you want to do is take the three biggest numbers and multiply them together. in this case, they would be 8-7-6. Multiply that and you get 336.

The distance between Anubhav’s school and his house is 45 km. He started from his house for school at 7:00 am and covered 30 km
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

45 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first part of the trip, he already covered 30 km so we can subtract that from the total distance

45 - 30 = 15

This means he has 15 km to go

He also took an hour, or 60 minutes, to get to school. We subtract the time spent of the first part and time spent talking to a friend from the 60 minutes

60 - 35 = 25

25 - 5 = 20

He took 20 minutes to cover the second part of the journey

Speed = distance/time

15/20 = 0.75

He covered 0.75 km per MINUTE

to find it in km/h, we just multiply the number by 60

0.75 x 60 = 45

X and Z equal 72
Y equals 108.

This is because y and 108° are vertex angles meaning they are both equal to each other. X is 72 because it’s form a supplementary angle with 108°. So what I did to find x is I subtracted 108 from 180 to get 72°. Then I know x and z are vertex angles meaning that z is also equal to 72°
