Answer:

165 different teams of 3 students can be formed for competitions

Step-by-step explanation:

Combinations of m elements taken from n in n (m≥n) are called all possible groupings that can be made with the m elements so that:

  • Not all items fit
  • No matter the order
  • Elements are not repeated

That is, a combination is an arrangement of elements where the place or position they occupy within the arrangement does not matter. In a combination it is interesting to form groups and their content.

To calculate the number of combinations, the following expression is applied:

C=\frac{m!}{n!*(m-n)!}

It indicates the combinations of m objects taken from among n objects, where the term "n!" is called "factorial of n" and is the multiplication of all the numbers that go from "n" to 1.

In this case:

  • n: 3
  • m: 11

Replacing:

C=\frac{11!}{3!*(11-3)!}

Solving:

C=\frac{11!}{3!*8!}

being:

  • 3!=3*2*1=6
  • 8!=8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1=40,320
  • 11!=39,916,800

So:

C=\frac{39,916,800}{6*40,320}

C= 165

I need help on questions 48 49 and 50 and u need to find the surface area of the 3 polyhedras please and thank you!
White raven [17]

48. The surface area of a cylinder is given by

... A = 2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r+h)

For r = 13 mi and h = 7 mi, this becomes

... A = 2π(13 mi)(13 mi + 7 mi) = 520π mi²

The surface area of the cylinder is 520π mi² ≈ 1634 mi².

49. The surface area of a rectangular prism is

... A = 2(LW + H(L+W))

For L = 20 m, W = 10 m, H = 7 m, this becomes

... A = 2((20 m)(10 m) + (7 m)(20 m + 10 m)) = 2(200 m² + 210 m²) = 820 m²

The surface area of the prism is 820 m².

50. The formula is the same as for problem 48.

For r = 10 m and h = 13 m, this becomes

... A = 2π(10 m)(10 m + 13 m) = 460π m² ≈ 1445 m²

The surface area of the cylinder is 460π m² ≈ 1445 m².

_____

When calculations are repetitive, it is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do them.

Answer:

x=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a ratio

The names of the triangle help with this.

AB is similar to FG, and AC is similar to FH (the missing side)

6/15 = 9/x

cross multiply

6x=135

divide both sides by 6

x=22.5

In the wheel of woohoo game I'm taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes if it lands on an even number I'll win a prize How
Aloiza [94]

Answer:  The chance here to win is 50%.


Step-by-step explanation:   You are taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes. So, we will be considering natural numbers from 1 to 20.

And also, you will a prize if you land on an even number, so we will calculate the probability of getting an even number.

From 1 to 20, there are 10 odd numbers and 10 even numbers out of total 20 numbers.

Let us define the following events -

A = event of getting an even number

and

B = event of getting an odd number.

So, n(A) = 10  and  n(B) = 10.

So, the probability of getting an even number is given by

p(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(A)+n(B)}=\dfrac{10}{10+10}=\dfrac{10}{20}=0.5=50\%.

Thus, the required chance of winning a prize is 50%.
