The ways 1st - 3rd place are ordered matter, so we aren't finding the combination. We;re finding the permutation. This means we have 8 contestants taken 3 ways. The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is nPr = n! / (n - r)! N is 8 and 3 is R. Substitute the values.

8P3 = 8! / (8 - 3)! → 8! / 5! → 336

(You can also input this in a scientific calculator by pressing "8", then "nPr" then "3")

If angle 5 is 120 degrees, what is the measure of angle 6? Why?
Sliva [168]

Answer:the measure of angle 6 is 60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two horizontal lines ate straight and parallel lines. It is established that the sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. Looking at the given figure, angle 5 and angle 6 are on a straight line. Therefore

Angle 5 + angle 6 = 180 degrees. Therefore,If angle 5 is 120 degrees,then

Angle 6 + 120 = 180

Angle 6 = 180 - 120 = 60 degrees.
