Answer:

25872 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We're choosing 5 women from a group of 11 and 3 men from a group of 8. We don't care about what order they are picked and so we'll use the combination formula, which is:

n!/(k!)(n-k)! with n as population and k as picks.

We'll multiply the results together. (8! / (3!)(8-3)!) * (11! / (5!)(11-5)!)

That equals: (8! / (3!)(5!) ) * (11! / (5!)(6!)) = 40320/(6x120) * 39916800/ (120x720)

56 * 462 = 25872

What is the length of AC?
sladkih [1.3K]
When the question says that triangle ABC ~ triangle DEF, that means the triangles are similar. This means that their proportions are the same.
In triangle ABC, side length AB is the equivalent of side length DE in triangle DEF.

Since the proportions must be the same, we can take the known side from triangle ABC, find the equivalent of it on triangle DEF, and find the proportions.
We already found that side length AB ~ side length DE.
Now we can divide the lengths to find the proportions.
28 / 8 = 3.5
This means that each side on triangle ABC will be 3.5 times greater than the equivalent side on triangle DEF.

The length of AC in triangle ABC is 3.5 times the length of DF in triangle DEF.
Side length DF is 10.
Multiply 3.5 by 10 to get the length of AC.
3.5 • 10 = 35
So the length of AC is 35 units.

Answer:
Side length AC in triangle ABC is 35 units.

Hope this helps!

Determine whether the two figures are similar. If so, give the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure.
andreev551 [17]
Yes they are similar and their scale factor is 1:3

7 * 3 = 21
4 * 3 = 12
18 * 3 = 54

Supplementary angles formed by parallel lines and transversals that are both outside the parallel line and on the opposite side
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Alternate exterior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are angles that are formed outside two parallel lines that cuts through a transversal line. these angles are formed on the opposite side of the transversal line ( alternate side).

Also Alternate exterior angles are congruent in nature are they are not adjacent angles as well
