Answer:

56 number of ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a combination question since it involves selection.

Generally, if r objects are to be selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

If a manager receives 8 applications for a specific position and wants to narrow it down to 5, the number of ways he can do this is 8C5

8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!

= 8!/3!5!

= 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!

= 8*7*6/3*2

= 8*7

= 56 number of ways.

This means that the manager can rank 5 applications in 56 number of ways

State the size of angle OAB, giving a reason for your answer
Alja [10]

Answer:

Angle OAB = 90°

Reason: tangent theorem of a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram given shows a tangent line of the given circle with center O. The tangent touches the circle at point A.

The diagram also shows the radius of the circle, OA, drawn from the center to the circle to meet at the point of tangency.

Thus, according to the Tangent Theorem of a circle, the point at which the radius drawn from the center meets the point of tangency = 90°. The tangent is perdendicular to the radius drawn to meet at the point of tangency.

Therefore, angle OAB = 90°

Mark and Sofia walk together down a long, straight road. They walk without stopping for 4 miles. At this point Sofia says their
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Sofia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.

On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.

Using the side-splitter theorem, which segment length would complete the proportion?
tia_tia [17]

we know that

<u>The Side-Splitter Theorem</u>: States that If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those two sides proportionally

so

in this problem

\frac{GH}{HE} =\frac{GJ}{JF}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The segment length is GJ
