Answer:

∠F = 42° to the nearest degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the value of the angle.

Kindly note that since one of the angles we are dealing with in the triangle is 90°, this means that the triangle is a right-angled triangle

Please check attachment for the diagrammatic representation of the triangle

From the diagram, we can identify that the EF is the hypotenuse and the length FG is the adjacent. Thus , the appropriate trigonometric identity to use is the cosine

mathematically;

Cosine of an angle = length of adjacent/length of hypotenuse

$Cos F = \frac{30}{38}\\Cos F = 0.7895\\F = Cos^{-1} 0.7895\\$

F = 42.07

∠F = 42° to the nearest degree

Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don

Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

$nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

The formula can now be applied as follows;

$\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}$

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.

Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2) A) −2 B)−4 C) −10 D) −14

BARSIC [14]

4(x+2)=3(x-2)

Multiply the first bracket by 4

Multiply the second bracket by 3

4x+8=3x-6

Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)

4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

x+8=-6

Move positive 8 to the right hand side

x+8-8=-6-8

x=-14

Check answer by using substitution method

Use x=-14 into both of the equations

4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)

-56+8=-42-6

-48=-48

Answer is -14- D)

Erica says that 1/5 of the national flag of Thailand shown on the right is blue. what’s wrong?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.
