Answer: a. 20  and b.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Letters = A, B, C, D, and E

Number of letters given = 5

a. When we choose 2 letters, without replacement from the 5 letters and order of the choices is relevant we use permutations.

Then, the number of ways we can choose 2 letters from 5 = ^5P_2

=\dfrac{5!}{(5-2)!}=\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{3!}=20  [∵ ^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}]

So , when order of the choices is relevant , the total number of way to do this = 20

b. When we choose 2 letters, without replacement from the 5 letters and order of the choices is not relevant we use combinations.

Then, the number of ways we can choose 2 letters from 5 = ^5C_2

=\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times3!}=10  [∵ ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]

So , when order of the choices is not relevant , the total number of way to do this = 10

Question 20 points if correct
Vlada [557]

Answer:

B = 155° , C = 25° , D = 155°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = 25°

C = A = 25° [ Vertically Opposite angles ]

Now

A + B = 180°( being linear pair)

25° + B = 180°

B = 180° - 25°

B = 155°

Also

D = B = 155°( vertically opposite angles )
