Answer: The correct option is (a) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of permutations that exists for the letters a, b, c and d taking two at a time.

We know

The number of permutations of 'n' different things taking 'r' ('r' less than or equal to 'n') at a time is given by the formula:

^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}.

In the given case, there are 4 different letters and we are to take two at a time, so

n = 4  and  r = 2.

Therefore, the number of permutations will be

^4P_2=\dfrac{4!}{(4-2)!}=\dfrac{4!}{2!}=\dfrac{4\times3\times2\times 1}{2\times 1}=4\times 3=12.

Thus, there are 12 permutations that exists.

Option (a) is correct.

Which statement BEST explains the relationship between lines GF & HJ?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Since, blue line is passing through two points (-4, -2) and (0, 4),

Slope of the blue line = \frac{4+2}{0+4}

                                    = \frac{3}{2}

Similarly, green line is passing through two points (-4, 1) and (0, -2),

Slope of the green line = \frac{1+2}{-4-0}

                                       = -\frac{3}{4}

Since, \frac{3}{2}\neq -\frac{3}{4}

Neither these slopes are opposite reciprocals.

Therefore, both the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Option (4) will be the correct option.

I need the value of A
Elza [17]
Since it’s equilateral and all triangles add up to 180 degrees
3(3a-9)=180
3a-9=60
3a=51
a=17
So the value of A is 17 degrees

What is the volume of the following shape?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

V=V_{1}+V_{2}=96+36=132\: cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide it into two parts:

First, we can fin the volume of the parallelepiped:

h1 = 16 cm

w1 = 2 cm

d1 = 3 cm

V_{1}=h_{1}*w_{1}*d_{1}=16*2*3=96\: cm^{3}

Now, the volume of the second parallelepiped is:

h2 = (8-2) cm = 6 cm

w2 = 2 cm

d2 = 3 cm

V_{2}=h_{2}*w_{2}*d_{2}=6*2*3=36\: cm^{3}

Finally, the total volume will be the addition of these two volumes.

V=V_{1}+V_{2}=96+36=132\: cm^{3}

I hope it helps you!
