The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram
Measure of one side = 76 feet
250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden
Therefore, perimeter = 250
<em><u>The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:</u></em>
Perimeter = 2(a + b)
Where, a and b are the length of sides
Here, a = 76
b = ?
<em><u>Substituting in formula, we get</u></em>
250 = 2(76 + b)
250 = 152 + b
2b = 250 - 152
2b = 98
b = 49
Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet
Anything greater than 1/2 can be shown as >1/2
15 16 and then 17 to be an equilateral
Answer:
190 possibilities.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is called 20 choose 2, given by the formula for combinations
C(20,2) = 20! / (2! (20-2)!) = 190
alternatively, we can reason it this way:
there are 20 choices to choose a captain and 19 choices for an alternate captain for a total of 380 ways.
However, there are 20 choices to choose an alternate captain and 19 choices for a captain for a total of 380 ways.
Since we are essentially double counting every choice of the posts, we need to divide 380 by 2 to get 190 ways.
