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.

A regular pentagonal prism has a volume of 2,850 cubic millimeters. what is the height of the prism? a regular pentagonal prism
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Height = 19mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a regular polygon =  (A * P) / 2 where A = side / (2 * Tan (π / N)) where, N = Number of sides, A = Apothem,  P = Perimeter.

Here A = 5, P = 5*12 = 60 so

Area  of the base  = (5 * 60) / 2 = 150 mm^2.

Volume = area base * height so

Height = volume / area of base

            = 2850 / 150

            = 19 mm.
