at least 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>If the question was similar to the one given below </em></u>

A researcher plans to identify each participant in a certain medical experiment with a code consisting of either a single letter or a pair of distinct letters written in alphabetical order. What is the least number of letters that can be used if there are 12 participants, and each participant is to receive a different code?

<em><u>The answer would be as follows</u></em>

If we use 3 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

4C2= 6 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 4 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

5C2= 10 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 5 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

6C2= 15 ways to use these letters and the comma

We need the least number of the alphabets to assign codes to 12 participants.

So the least number of alphabets is 5 because it can give codes to at least to  12 people .

Pair of alphabets + distinct letter ≥ 12

5 + 1  ≥ 12

6c2  ≥ 12

15  ≥ 12

What is the equation of a circle that has a center at (-4, 10) and a radius of 8?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The equation of the circle is (x + 4)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 64, third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

The equation of a circle with center (x_0,y_0) and radius r is given by:

(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2

Center at (-4, 10)

This means that x_0 = -4, y_0 = 10.

Radius of 8:

This means that r = 8. So

(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2

(x - (-4))^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 8^2

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 64

The equation of the circle is (x + 4)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 64, third option is correct.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Can someone please help! I don't understand some of these questions :(
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior and exterior angle of a polygon is supplementary

let interior be I

let exterior be E

I + E = 180

Since the interior angle is 8 times that of an exterior angle,

8E + E = 180          [replacing I with 8E]  

9E = 180                

E = 20                      

The exterior angle is 20 degrees

I + E = 180          

I + 20 = 180      

I = 160              

The interior angle is 160 degrees.

The equation to find the interior angle of a polygon with 'n' number of sides is:

I = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n

We know the interior angle, so plug it in and solve for n:

160 = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n      

160n = (n − 2) × 180            

160n = 180n − 360                  

-20n = -360                            

n = 18

The perimeter of a rectangle is found by using the formula P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length and w is the w
velikii [3]

Answer:

#1: 11 cm

#2: 16.5 in

#3: 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

#1

P=2l+2w Solve for width by substracting 2l on both sides to isolate 2w

P-2l=2w

or

2w=P-2l

Replace.

2w=26-2(2)\\2w=26-4\\2w=22\\w=\frac{22}{2}\\ w=11cm

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2

P=2l+2w

P=2(3.5)+2(4.75)\\P =7+9.5\\P=16.5in

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#3

P=2l+2w

Solve for l

2l=P-2w\\2l=7-2(1)\\2l=7-2\\2l=5\\l=\frac{5}{2}\\ l=2.5feet
