Hey there! The equation for perimeter is 2L x 2W, or L + L + W + W.

If P is 50, and it's W is 10, then we can do 2(10) + 2L = 50. This, simplified, becomes 20 + 2L = 50. Subtract 20 on both sides, and you're left with 30.

The equation now becomes 2L = 30. Divide both sides by 2, and you're left with L = 15.

How many ways are there to select a 5-card hand from a regular deck such that the hand contains at least one card from each suit

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There are 685464 ways of selecting the 5-card hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hand has 5 cards and there should be at least 1 card for each suit, then there should be 3 suits that appear once in the hand, and one suit that apperas twice.

In order to create a possible hand, first we select the suit that will appear twice. There are 4 possibilities for this. For that suit, we select the 2 cards that appear with the respective suit. Since there are 13 cards for each suit, then we have ${13 \choose 2} = 78$ possibilities. Then we pick one card of all remaining 3 suits. We have 13 ways to pick a card in each case.

This gives us a total of 4*78*13³ = 685464 possibilities to select the hand.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-\frac{5}{4})^2\\\\ \text {Apply power of a fraction rule: } (\frac{a}{b})^x=\frac{a^x}{b^x}\\\\(-\frac{5}{4})^2 = \frac{-5^2}{4^2}=\frac{25}{16}\\\\\boxed{(-\frac{5}{4})^2=\frac{25}{16}}$
