Eight soccer teams participate in a soccer tournament, so that each team plays with every other team exactly once. If one team wins against another, then the winning team gets two points, and the losing team gets zero points. If the two teams tie, then both teams get one point each. After the tournament, the teams are ranked by the total number points each team won. What is the minimum number of points a team must win, to ensure that it is in the top four teams

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With an eight team round robin, 28 games will be played in total (The total edges in K8). Since each game will produce two points regardless of outcome, 56 total points will be shared among the eight teams. In the absence of a well-defined tie breaking system, we assume that ties do not qualify as a guarantee. We define a team's point total as "ensuring" fourth place when the fifth place team could not possibly have that many points.

Ten points are not enough and eleven points must be enough. In one extreme case, teams A,B,C,D and E all draw each other and win against F,G, and H (who also draw each other), giving a fifth place team with ten points. If we have a fifth place team with eleven points then teams A,B,C,D, and E share at least 55 points, meaning teams F,G, and H share at most one point. However, F,G, and H play each other and must share at least six points, a contradiction. Therefore, 11 points guarantees fourth place at a minimum.

Classify the polygon as regular or irregular, and concave or convex.

Answers

Answer:

This would be a regular polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon has congruent sides and interior angles.

An irregular polygon does not have congruent sides and all interior angles.

A convex polygon does not have a interior angle greater than 180°.

Lastly, a concave polygon has only one interior angle greater than 180°.

Using the process of elimination, it would not be a convex or concave polygon. Now we have either a regular or irregular polygon. This polygon can not be a irregular polygon because all the sides are congruent. This means that this polygon is a regular polygon!

The given polygon is a regular convex polygon.

What is a polygon ?

In geometry, a polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain (or polygonal circuit). The bounded plane region, the bounding circuit, or the two together, may be called a polygon.

The segments of a polygonal circuit are called its edges or sides. The points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. The interior of a solid polygon is sometimes called its body.

Given,

Polygon has 8 edges and 8 vertices.

1. Regular or Irregular:

A regular polygon has congruent sides and interior angles.

In the figure all sides are of equal length and the angle are same so, It is a regular polygon.

2. Convex or concave:

Convex polygon has all interior angles less than 180° while in concave polygon at least one interior angle should be greater than 180°.

In the given polygon all angles are less than 180°, so it is a convex polygon.

Hence, by the above explanation, the given polygon is regular convex polygon.

what is the answer to this
3x-y=7
2x-2y=2 ​

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - y = 7   ------------(i)

2x - 2y = 2 ---------(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by (-2)

(i)*(-2)          - 6x + 2y = -14

(ii)                 2x  - 2y =2     {Add both equation. now y will be eliminated}

                    -4x         = -12          {Divide both sides by -4}

                             x = -12/-4

x = 3

Plug in x = 3 in equation (i)

2*3 - 2y = 2

6 - 2y = 2    

Subtract 6 from both sides

 -2y = 2 - 6

  -2y = -4

Divide both sides by 2

      y = -4/-2

y = 2

Answer:

x = 3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 7 → (1)

2x - 2y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

- 6x + 2y = - 14 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 4x + 0 = - 12

- 4x = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(3) - y = 7

9 - y = 7 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- y = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 2

solution is (3, 2 )

Substitute:

[tex]l=6w\\\\P=168cm[/tex]

[tex]168=2(6w+w)\\168=2(7w)\\168=14w\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 14}\\\\\dfrac{168}{14}=\dfrac{14w}{14}\\\\12=w\Rightarrow w=12(cm)[/tex]

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that,

→ Length = 6x

→ Width = x

→ Perimeter = 168 cm

Perimeter of rectangle,

→ P = 2(L + W)

Forming the equation,

→ 168 = 2(6x + x)

Now the value of x will be,

→ 168 = 2(6x + x)

→ 2 × 7x = 168

→ 14x = 168

→ x = 168/14

→ [ x = 12 ]

Then the length and width is,

→ Length = 6x = 6(12) = 72 cm

→ Width = x = 12 cm

Hence, required width is 12 cm.
