Answer:

3780.  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will start by just considering the number of ways to arrange 9 objects. We can do this in  9!  ways.

However since we have 3 reoccurring letters in Tennessee namely n,s and e we need to remove the times these form the same arrangement. Let me give an example to show what this means. Lets say we have the arrangement:

ennetssee

Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide  9!  by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.

Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by  2! .

The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by  2!  again.

Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by  4!  here.

Now we get the following result:

9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.  

So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

Find the angle that makes them supplementary.
8090 [49]

Answer:

Mathematics NCERT Grade 7, Chapter 5: Lines and Angles is all about different lines, line segments, and angles.

A line segment has two end points.

A ray has only one end point (its vertex).

A line has no end points on either side.  

This chapter throws light on topics such as related angles, pair of lines. The chapter deals with different types of angles and lines. The types of angles discussed in this chapter are as follows:

Pairs of Angles          Condition

Two complementary angles Measures add up to 90°

Two supplementary angles Measures add up to 180°

Two adjacent angles Have a common vertex and a common arm but no common interior

Linear pair Adjacent and supplementary

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.

All the types are discussed in detail and are supplemented with examples and short questions.  

Under the topic pair of lines, various sub-sections are discussed namely:

Intersecting lines

Transversal  

Angles made by a transversal

When two lines intersect (looking like the letter X) we have two pairs of opposite angles. They are called vertically opposite angles. They are equal in measure.

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points.

Six angles discussed in this section:

1. Interior angles

2. Exterior angles

3. Pairs of Corresponding angles

4. Pairs of Alternate interior angles

5. Pairs of Alternate exterior angles

6. Pairs of interior angles on the same side of the transversal

Transversal of parallel lines
