The total number of articles is 14 and only 7 can be published. Since what is asked is the ways to assemble the 7 articles, this is a permutation problem.
14P7 = <span>17297280 ways
If order is not of concern, the problem is just a combination problem
14C7 = </span><span>3432 ways</span><span />
Is this the image? If so, sorry I can't do this lol
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.
The length of baseboard needed is AB + BC + CD + DE + FE.
Note that 30 in = 30/12 ft = 2.5 ft.
Because of the door opening,
AB + EF = 12 - 2.5 = 9.5 ft
Also,
BC = DE = 10 ft
CD = 12 ft.
The amount of baseboard needed is
AB + BC + CD + DE + FE
= (AB + EF) + BC + CD + DE
= 9.5 + 10 + 12 + 10
= 41.5 ft
Answer:
41.5 feet of baseboard.
B= the base of the object
