<span>Find the probability that 
1.Comic D will perform first

D _ _ _ _ _
 We can fill the 5 blanks with the 5 letters A, B,C,E,F in 5! = 120 ways
The probability of that is 120 ways out of 720 or 120/720 or 1/6. 

2. Comic B will perform fifth and Comic A will perform last
_ _ _ _ B A
We can fill the 4 blanks with the 4 letters C,D,E, F in 4! = 24 ways.
The probability of that is 24 ways out of 720 or 24/720 or 1/30.

3. The comedians will perform in the following order D, B, A, C, F, E
There is just 1 way that can happen. The probability of that is 1 way out of 720 or 1/720.

4.Comic F or E will perform third.
_ _ F _ _ _
There are 5! = 120 ways to fill those 5 blanks with the letters A,B,C,D, E.
In addition to those, there are another 5! = 120 ways to fill these 5 blanks _ _ E _ _ _ with the letters A,B,C,D,F. That's 2(5!) = 2(120) = 240 ways.
The probability of one of those is 240 ways out of 720 or 240/720 or 1/3.

Find the approximate perimeter of rectangle ABCD plotted below. B(4,5) AC -6,0) C(8,-3) D(-2,-8) Choose 1 answer: Do 5 problems
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 47.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(length + width)

You need to find length and width

If you graph, you can pick your length length and your width

Pick two points after you graph, for (x_{1},y_{1})  and (x_{2},y_{2})

Use the distance formula to find the length =\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1} ^{2})}

point B (4,5) will be point 1 and point C (8,-3) will be point 2

Substitute

length =\sqrt{(8 - 4 )^{2} + (-3- 5 )^{2}}\\

length = \sqrt{80}

length = 8.94

Use the distance formula to find the width =\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1} ^{2})}

point C (8,-3) will be point 1 and point D (-2,8) will be point 2

Substitute

width =\sqrt{(-2 - 8 )^{2} + (8- (-3) )^{2}}\\

width =\sqrt{(-10 )^{2} + (11 )^{2}}\\

width =\sqrt{100 + 121}\\

width = \sqrt{221}

width = 14.87

Now use formula P = 2(length + width)

P = 2(8.94 + 14.87)

Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 47.62
