The ten sides of a regular decagon are colored with five different colors, so that all five colors are used, and sides that are

diametrically opposite have the same color. One possible coloring is shown below.
How many different ways are there to color the sides of the decagon? (Two colorings are considered identical if one can be rotated to form the other.)

Answer:

  • <u>120</u>

Explanation:

Number the sides of the decagon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, from top (currently red) clockwise.

  • The side number one can be colored of five different colors (red, orange, blue, green, or yellow): 5
  • The side number two can be colored with four different colors: 4
  • The side number three can be colored with three different colors: 3
  • The side number four can be colored with two different colors: 2
  • The side number five can be colored with the only color left: 1
  • Each of the sides six through ten can be colored with one color, the same as its opposite side: 1

Thus, by the multiplication or fundamental principle of counting, the number of different ways to color the decagon will be:

  • 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 120.

Notice that numbering the sides starting from other than the top side is a rotation of the decagon, which would lead to identical coloring decagons, not adding a new way to the number of ways to color the sides of the figure.

if you had a block of each type of wood with the same dimensions,how would their weights compare?explain?
inysia [295]
For this case we have the following equation:
 Density = mass / volume
 If the volume is the same, then the object with the greatest weight will be the one with the highest density.
 You must know the type of way to know the value of the density.
 Answer:
 
The weight of the blocks will depend on the density if the volume is the same.

There are 250 wolves in a national park. the wolf population is increasing at a rate of 16% per year. write an exponential model
Helga [31]

\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth} \\\\ A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &250\\ r=rate\to 16\%\to \frac{16}{100}\dotfill &0.16\\ t=\textit{elapsed time} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=250(1 + 0.16)^{t}\implies A=250(1.16)^t \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill &1000\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &250\\ r=rate\to 16\%\to \frac{16}{100}\dotfill &0.16\\ t=\textit{elapsed time} \end{cases} \\\\\\ 1000=250(1.16)^t\implies \cfrac{1000}{250}=1.16^t\implies 4=1.16^t \\\\\\ \log(4)=\log(1.16^t)\implies \log(4)=t\log(1.16) \\\\\\ \cfrac{\log(4)}{\log(1.16)}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{about 9 years and 4 months}}{9.34\approx t}

If i have 480 grams of pasta for 4 people how many kilograms will i need for 14 people
Afina-wow [57]

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{pasta}{grams}&people\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 480&4\\ g&14 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{480}{g}=\cfrac{4}{14}\implies \cfrac{480}{g}=\cfrac{2}{7} \\\\\\ \cfrac{480\cdot 7}{2}=g\implies 1680=g

now, there are 1000 grams in one Kilogram, so in 1680 grams, there are 1680/1000 Kilograms, namely 1.680.
