Answer:

Different point total are possible = 497

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Four darts are thrown at this dartboard. Dartboard regions are  

             1, 4, 7, 10 points

To find - If all four darts hit the board, how many different point totals are

              possible.

Proof -

Are given there are 4 regions -

1st region - 1 point

2nd region - 4 points

3rd region - 7 points

4th region - 10 points

Case I :

If all the darts hit the different region -

Total points possible are - 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 22 points

Case II :

If all the darts hit the same region -

It means either they hit 1 region or 2nd region or 3rd region or 4th region

If they all 4 hit first region , points are - 1+1+1+1 = 4

If they all 4 hit second region , points are - 4+4+4+4= 16

If they all 4 hit third region , points are - 7+7+7+7 = 28

If they all 4 hit fourth region , points are - 10+10+10+10 = 40

So,

the Total points possible are - 4 + 16 + 28 + 40 = 88

Case III :

If 3 darts hit the same region -

Sub-case 1 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region, other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 1 + 4 + 4+ 4 = 13

Sub-case 2 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 1 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 22

Sub-case 3 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 1 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 31

Sub-case 4 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

Sub-case 5 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 4 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 25

Sub-case 6 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 4 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 34

Sub-case 7 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 10

Sub-case 8 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 7 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 19

Sub-case 9 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 7 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 37

Sub-case 10 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13

Sub-case 11 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 10 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 22

Sub-case 12 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 10 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 31

So,

Total points possible are - 13+22+21+7+25+34+10+19+37+13+22+31 = 254

Case IV :

If 2 darts hit the same region -

Sub-case 1:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 2nd region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 10

Sub-case 2:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 3rd region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 7 + 7 = 16

Sub-case 3:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 10 + 10 = 23

Sub-case 4:

If 2 darts hits 2nd region , other 2 darts hit 3rd region

Points are - 4 + 4 + 7 + 7 = 22

Sub-case 5:

If 2 darts hits 2nd region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 4 + 4 + 10 + 10 = 28

Sub-case 6:

If 2 darts hits 3rd region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 7 + 7 + 10 + 10 = 34

So,

Total points possible are - 10 + 16 + 23 + 22 + 28 + 34 = 133

Case V :

If 1 darts hit the same region -

This case is include in the Case III.

∴ we get

Different point total are possible = Points in Case I +  II +  III +  IV

                                                       = 22 + 88 + 254 + 133

                                                       = 497

⇒Different point total are possible = 497

You are making a scaledrawing of a room using a scale of1 inch : 4 feet.a. The room is 14 feet by 18 feet. Find itsdimensions in
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a. 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches

b. 1.5 inches

c. Divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12 to get a scale of 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a representative fraction showing the relationship between length on a drawing and actual length.

i.e scale = \frac{length on a drawing}{actual length}

 scale = 1 inch : 4 feet

a. The dimensions in the drawing can be determined as;

1 inch : 4 feet implies an inch on the drawing equates 4 feet on actual length.

\frac{14}{4} = 3.5 inches

\frac{18}{4} = 4.5 inches

Dimensions on drawing is 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches.

b. The length of the sofa is 6 feet, its length on the drawing is;

\frac{6}{4} = 1.5 inches

c. To enlarge the scale so as to double the dimensions of the drawing, we have;

12 inches = 1 feet

4 feet = 4 × 12 = 48 inches

given scale = 1 inch : 48 inches

Thus, divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12.

scale = 12 inch : 24 inch

scale = 1 : 2

To double the dimensions of the drawing, the scale required is 1 : 2. This implies that a unit measure on the drawing is synonymous to 2 measures on the actual reading.
