GENERIC:
- Let C(n,r) be the number of ways to generate unordered combinations
- The number of ordered combinations (i.e. r-permutations) is P(n,r)
- The number of ways to order a single one of those r-permutations P(r,r)
- The total number of unordered combinations is the total number of ordered combinations (i.e. r-permutations) divided by the number of ways to order each combination
- Thus, C(n,r) = P(n,r)/P(r,r) = [n!/(n-r)!]/r!/(r-r)!] = n!/r!(n(n-r)!
SPECIFIC:
- Let C(52,5) be the number of ways to generate unordered Poker hands
- The number of ordered poker hands is P(52,5) = 311,875,200
- The number of ways to order a single poker hand is P(5,5) = 5! = 120
- The total number of unordered poker hands is the total number of ordered hands divided by the number of ways to order each hand
- Thus, C(52,5) = P(52,5)/P(5,5)

How do you prove the formula for the area of a rectangle?
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x breadth. In order to prove this works, work out an area of a rectangle using that formula.
Which formula would you use to prove that a triangle is a rhombus using distance or midpoint or Pythagorean or slope?
You would have a difficult time finding a formula to prove that statement, for two main reasons: 1). The statement is false. A triangle is never a rhombus. 2). Formulas can describe things, but they can't 'prove' things.
How do you prove the formula for the area of a circle?
To prove the formula you need to integrate the function y = +sqrt(1 - x2) between the limits x = -1 and x = +1, and then double the result to allow for the area under the x-axis. Better still, use polar coordinates and double integrate rdrdA where r goes from 0 to R, the radius of the circle, and the angle A goes from 0 to 2*pi. The result can be VERIFIED by comparing the area and the radius but that is not proof.
Prove the square root of 2 not irrational?
This is impossible to prove, as the square root of 2 is irrational.
How do you prove that In a quadrilateral ABCD prove that AB plus BC plus CD plus DA 2( AC plus BD )?
You cannot prove it since it is not true for a general quadrilateral.
