Answer:

1120 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we need to be sure what equation we need to use.

From the given example, let's consider initially only men. Because you have a total of 8 men and we need to chose only 3 men, let's suppose that the 3 chosen men are A, B, and C.

Because A,B,C is the same as choosing C,B,A, which means it doesn't matter the order of the chosen men, we need to use a 'combination equation'.

Because we have two groups (women and men) then we have:

Possible ways = 8C3 * 6C3 (which are the combinations for women and men respectively). Remember that:

nCk=n!/((n-k)!*k!) so:

Possible ways = 8!/((8-3)!*3!) * 6!/((6-3)!*3!) = 56* 20 = 1120.

In conclusion, there are 1120 possible ways.

An 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall. What is the angle measure, to the nearest degree, of the ladder to the
kondor19780726 [428]
Trigonometry can be used to find angles and sides of simple triangles. If an 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall then the angle can be deduced by trigonometry. In this case, the ladder defines the hypotenuse (H) of the triangle and the wall defines the opposite (O) side of the triangle. Therefore we can use the equation theta=sin^-1(O/H) . This yields an angle of 51 degrees.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 2(x + 5) = 100 - 2x - 10 = 90 -2x
