Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.

Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.

Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .

The segments shown below could form a triangle.
olga2289 [7]

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of two sides should be greater than the length of the third side, while the difference of these two sides should be less than the length of this third side. Normally you would take the absolute value of the difference of these two side as you wouldn't know which is greater than the other!

The simplest way to prove whether these line segments can form a triangle, is by going against this theory. Let us prove that the line segment don't form a triangle. As you can see, adding 7 and 1 is greater than 1, respectively 7 and 7 is greater than 1. Thus -
