Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the measure of sides of a triangle are 8:15:17

The perimeter is 480

8x + 15x + 17x= 480

40x= 480

x = 480/40

x = 12

Therefore the measure of the shortest side of the triangle can be calculated as follows

8x

8×12

= 96

Five balls are chosen from a bag of eight blue balls, six red balls, and five green balls. How many of these five-ball selection
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Using the combination formula, it is found that six of these five-ball selections contain exactly five red balls.

The order in which the balls are selected is not important(as balls A, B, C, D and E is the same outcome as balls B, A, C, D and E), hence the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question. If the order was important, then the permutation formula would be used.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this problem, five red balls can be chosen from a set of six, hence the number of selections is the combination of 5 elements from a set of 6, that is calculated from the formula given above:

C_{6,5} = \frac{6!}{1!5!} = 6

Hence six of these five-ball selections contain exactly five red balls.
