Answer:

There are 11550 possible selections

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Men = 7$

$Women = 11$

Required

How many ways can 4 men and 4 women be selected

The keyword in the question is SELECTION and it means COMBINATION;

So, number of selection is:

$Number = Men * Women$

$Number = ^7C_4 * ^{11}C_4$

This gives

$Number = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!} * \frac{11!}{(11-4)!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7!}{3!4!} * \frac{11!}{7!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{3!4!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7!}{7!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3 * 2 * 1} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{6} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{7920}{24}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * 330$

$Number = 11550$

Hence;

<em>There are 11550 possible selections</em>

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

$(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2}$ ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

$(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}$

$(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}$

$(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144$

$(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144$

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

$x^{2} +18x = 144$

On rearranging,

$x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0$

$x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0$

$x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0$

$(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0$

So x = 6 and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

Sarah’s stands on a ground and sights the top of a steep Clift at a 60 degree angle of elevation she then steps back 50 meters t

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Cliff is 45 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of Sarah = 1.8 m

Angle of elevation = 60°

Angle of elevation 50 m back = 30°

As shown in the figure we have two right angled triangles SPQ and SPR.

Let the height of the cliff be $h$ meters and $h= h_1+h_s$ .

Using trigonometric ratios:

tan (Ф) = opposite/adjacent

In ΔSPQ. In ΔSPR.

⇒ $tan(60) = \frac{h_1}{x}$ ...equation (i) ⇒ $tan (30)=\frac{h_1}{x+50}$ ...equation (ii)

Dividing equation (i) and (ii)

⇒ $\frac{tan(60)}{tan(30)} = \frac{h_1}{x} \times \frac{x+50}{h_1}$

⇒ $3 = \frac{x+50}{x}$

⇒ $3x=x+50$

⇒ $3x-x=50$

⇒ $2x=50$

⇒ $x=\frac{50}{2}$

⇒ $x=25$ meters

To find $h_1$ plugging $x=25$ in equation (i)

⇒ $h_1=x\times tan(60)$

⇒ $h_1=25\times 1.73$

⇒ $h_1=43.25$ meters

The height of the cliff from ground :

⇒ $h= h_1+h_s$

⇒ $h= 43.25+1.8$

⇒ $h=45.05$ meters

The cliff is 45 m tall to the nearest meter.

An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance in kilometers and

uranmaximum [27]

We are given relation between distance( in kilometers) travelled and number of hours taken by an Albatross bird.

Distance in kilometers taken by variable d.

Number of hours by t.

And situation is given d=50t.

We know, direct relation formula y= kx read as y is directly proportional to x. And k is the constants of proportionality.

In the given fuction y is taken by variable d and x is taken by variable t.

If we compare d=50t by y = mx, the value of k is 50.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is 50.

Constant is a number that never change it's value.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is just 50.

But we can say variables d and t are two variables those are directly proportional to each other.

Constant of proportionality is actually unit rate of change.

For the given situation constant of proportionality is the number of km travelled in per unit time (in 1 hour.)

If we divide 400km 8 hours, we get 400/8 = 50 km per hour.

Therefore, variables of proporation are d and t and relation between them is " they are directly proportional to each other".

And the constants of proportionality is just 50.
