Answer:

14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's confirm that total points = total number of games played.

Suppose, if any one of the player wins all the games, then,

total points = 21(1) + 0 = 21 = total number of games

Suppose, all the games end in draw. Then,

21(0.5) + 21(0.5) = 21(0.5 + 0.5) = 21(1) = 21 = total number of games

Suppose, if one player wins in 10 games and the remaining 11 games end in draw, then,

10(1) + 11(0.5 + 0.5) = 10 + 11 = 21 = total number of games

So, in all cases, total points = total number of games played

Now, let x be the points that the loser has.

So, the winner's points should be x + 8.

Total number of games played = 21

Since, total points = total number of games played,

x + (x + 8) = 21

2x + 8 = 21

2x = 21 - 8 = 13

x = 6.5

Winner's points = x + 8 = 6.5 + 8 = 14.5.

Jeni walks 100 meters east and then 50 meters north. How big is Jeni's displacement from the starting point?
never [62]

Answer : Jeni's displacement from the starting point is, 111.8 meter.

Step-by-step explanation :

To calculate the Jeni's displacement from the starting point we are using Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

Given:

Side AB = 100 m

Side BC = 50 m

Now put all the values in the above expression, we get the value of side AC.

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

(AC)^2=(100)^2+(50)^2

AC=\sqrt{(100)^2+(50)^2}

AC=111.8m

Thus, the Jeni's displacement from the starting point is, 111.8 meter.
