Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people

A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A. 
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20

As you can, we get the same answer for both. 

B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22

Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>

Which of the following are true statements.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Second statement is true.

The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle. The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

for first part of statement

The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle.

If the square of long side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides

then the given length can be sides of a right triangle.

Check the given length by Pythagoras Theorem.

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}----------(1)

Let c=41 and a = 7 and b=40

Put all the value in equation 1.

41^{2} =7^{2} +40^{2}

1681=49+1600

1681=1649

Therefore, the square of long side is not equal to the sum of square of other two sides, So given lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle.

for second part of statement.

The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Check the given length by Pythagoras Theorem.

Let c=20 and a = 12 and b=16

20^{2} =12^{2} +16^{2}

400=144+256

400=400

Therefore, the square of long side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides, So given the lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Therefore, The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle. The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

How do you divide big numbers?<br>like for example, 2,673 ÷ 486?
Dahasolnce [82]
The easiest way I know is to multiply the divisor by different numbers to see how many times it will go into the dividend. multiplying 486 by 2 or three and seeing which one gets closest.
