Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we're dealing with a problem where the order matters and the first two letters are already chosen we need to subtract the number of letters and the number of available slots per group.
We use the permutation formula to find the answer, but before that let's check values.
n = 8
k = 5
Now since there are two letters already chosen we have to deduct two from both the value of n and k.
n = 6
k = 3
Now we can use the permutation formula:




The 3*2*1 cancels out and leaves us with:


So there are 120 possible ways to arrange eight letters into groups of five where order matters and the first two letters are already chosen.
Answer:
51,750
Step-by-step explanation:
45,000x.03=1,350
1,350x5=6750
45,000+6750=51,750
You have separated the figure into three (3) parts. There are two squares (or rectangles on the bottom. Subtract 5 from 8 to find out the length of the side (right side). 8-5=3. Then subtract 3 from 8 (8-3=5). The new length is 5 ft. 5 multiplied by 5 is the area of one of the squares on the bottom (25 ft. squared). Multiply that by two to find the area of both the squares on the bottom (50 ft. squared).
There's also a rectangle on the top. The base is 15 ft. and the height is 3 ft. Remember that you subtracted 5 from 8 to find out the area of the two bottom squares. 15 multiplied by 3 is 45 (ft.)
Add 45 to 50 to get the area of the entire figure. (45+50=95 or 95 ft. squared).
95 ft. squared is the area of the entire figure. Hope this helped you.
