Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n = 10

r= 2

Substitute the values in the formula

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 }{2 \times 1}

^{10}C_{2}=45

No. of possible handshakes are 45

Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

3. At a bargain store, Jamal bought 2 items that each cost the same amount. Isaiah bought 3 items that each cost the same amount
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

  • $6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>

  • 2x

<u>Isaiah spent:</u>

  • 3 (x - 2.25)

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • 2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) <u>Solving the equation</u>

  • 2x = 3x - 6.75
  • 3x - 2x = 6.75
  • x = 6.75

c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 each

<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each

An open-topped glass aquarium with a square base is designed to hold 444 cubic feet of water. What is the minimum exterior surfa
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

291.05ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the aquarium = L³

L is the length of one side of the aquarium

444 = L³

L = cuberoot[444]

L= 7.63ft

Since the glass aquarium is opened at the top

Total surface Area = 5L²

Total surface Area = 5(7.63)²

Total surface Area = 291.05ft²

Hence the minimum exterior surface area of the aquarium is 291.05ft²
