Answer:

The area 2730 possible arrangements of first, second, and third place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the students finish is important. For example A, B and C is a different finishing order(outcome) than B, A and C. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

3 from a set of 15. So

P_{(15,3)} = \frac{15!}{(15-3)!} = 2730

The area 2730 possible arrangements of first, second, and third place.

In 2013 nyc had 66.37 inches of precipitation what is that amount of precipitation to the nearest inch
V125BC [204]
Since we are rounding to the nearest inch, we want to look at the tenths place. The rule for rounding is 5 and up, we round up, 4 and below, stay. Since 3 is below 5, we stay. Therefore your answer should be 66 inches of precipitation. Hope this helps!

Area = b*h and in some cases * 2 so you need to do this, 64*52 + 40*28= 4448 yd2

A circle has an area of 4040 square meters. Which answer is closest to the measure of its diameter?
ch4aika [34]
Well the answer I got was closest to 71.

3.14 x radius squared = area

If you divide 4040 by 3.14 you get radius squared which is 1286.6242
If you square root it you get the radius which is 35.869544
If you multiply the radius by 2 you get diameter which is about 71.739088

The graph below describes the journey of a train between two cities
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Acceleration in first 15 min . Distance between two cities  Average speed of journey

Solution:

Each horizontal block is 1/8 hr = 7.5 min

Each vertical block is 10 km/hr

Time                    Velocity  km/hr

0 Min  ( 0 hr)            0

15 Min (1/4 hr)           50

45 Min (3/4 hr)         50

60 MIn  ( 1 hr)            100

90 Min  ( 3/2 hr)        100

120 Min ( 2hr)            0

Acceleration in first 15 min  (1/4 hr)  =  (50 - 0)/(1/4 - 0)  = 50/(1/4)

= 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities

= (1/2)(0 + 50)(1/4 - 0)  + 50 * (3/4 - 1/4)  + (1/2)(50 + 100)(1 - 3/4)  + 100 * (3/2 - 1) + (1/2)(100 + 0)(2 - 3/2)

=  25/4  + 25 + 75/4   + 50 + 25

= 125

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey = 125/2  = 62.5  km/hr

Acceleration in first 15 min = 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey =  62.5  km/hr

Hope this helps..
