Answer:

a = 60°

b = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can find measure a by using the first shape. There are six rhombuses, and you can use the innermost a of each one to form a circle. A full circle is 360°, so divide 360 by six. The answer is sixty. So on the next shape, the a measurements add up to 120°. Subtract that from the circle: 360 - 120 = 240. And since there are two measurements for b, you would divide 240 by two. The answer is 120.

To check your work, use the knowledge that circles are 360° (the four interior corners of a rhombus will also add up to 360°. 2(120) + 2(60) = 360. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

The Powerball lottery is decided every Wednesday and Saturday night by drawing five white balls out of a drum with 69 balls and

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The question continues ; I take it is defined as a set of five white and one red number how many possible different Powerball tickets can be purchased how many possible different winning Powerball tickets are there

Step-by-step explanation:

he concept of combinatorics ( combination and permutation) is applied her

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

Hence number of possible different powerball tickets = number of ways of selection

= selecting 5 white ball from a total of 69 and selecting a red ball from a total of 26

= 69C5 x 26C1

using the formula above for combination

= 69!/(69-5)!5! x 26!/(26-1)!1!

= 292, 201, 338 ways
