Answer:

n(n - 3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

A square has 4 sides and 2 diagonals.

Now, a pentagon will have 5 sides and 5 diagonals

A hexagonal when drawn will have 6 sides and 9 diagonals

Thus, we see that;

When n = 4, d = 2

When n = 5, d = 5

When n = 6, d = 9

Using combination, we will find number of pairs of 2 vertices that can possibly be formed from n-vertices. Thereafter we will subtract n from that since it's neighboring vertices can't combine with the current one.

Thus, we have;

C(n, 2) - n

This gives s;

(n(n-1)/2) - n

Simplifying this gives;

(n(n - 1) - 2n)/2

>> (n² - n - 2n)/2

>> (n² - 3n)/2

>> n(n - 3)/2

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

S={WG, WE, WM, YG, YE, YM, BG, BE, BM}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible color choices for the game room (White, Yellow or Blue), and three possible choices for the entertainment center (Gray, Ebony or Maple). This means that there are 9 possible outcomes, therefore, the sample space for the experiment is:

S={WG, WE, WM, YG, YE, YM, BG, BE, BM}

Solve the equation or formula for the indicated variable.
alex41 [277]
Subtract 3 both sides first. R-3=ts²

next, divide both sides by t, (R-3)/t=s²

finally, take the square root of both sides

√(R-3)/t = s. 2nd choice.
