3 two pointers and 4 three pointers

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of two pointers made are: 6

and the number of three pointers made are: 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the number of two pointers be : x

and the number of three pointers be : y.

The wildcats basketball team scored 18 points in the first half of the game.

This means that:

  2x+3y=18-------(1)

Also, a total of eight shots were made.

This means that:

x+y=8

i.e.

x=8-y--------(2)

On putting equation (2) in equation (1) we have:

2(8-y)+3y=18

16-2y+3y=18

16+y=18

y=18-16

i.e.

                  y=2

On putting the value of y in equation (2) we have:

  x=8-2

i.e.

          x=6

Using diagonals from a common vertex, how many triangles could be formed from the polygon pictured below?
Ad libitum [116K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

  3 triangles will be formed.
