Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$

$c^2 > (9)^2 +(14)^2$

$c^2 > 81 +196$

$c^2 > 277$

c > 16.64

Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m
Dovator [93]

Option a: \frac{m^{5} }{162n} is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } where m\neq 0, n\neq 0

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }

This equation can also be written as,

\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

\frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } is \frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.

A manager receives 8 applications for a specific position. She wants to narrow it down to 5. In how many ways can she rank 5 app
nata0808 [166]

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
