批注[c1]: 2020 AMC10B Problem1 What is the value of Solution We know that when we subtract negative numbers, . The equation becomes Problem2 Carl has cubes each having side length , and Kate has cubes each having side length . What is the total volume of these cubes? Solution A cube with side length has volume , so of these will have a total volume of . A cube with side length has volume , so of these will have a total volume of . Problem 3 The ratio of to is , the ratio of to is , and the ratio of to is . What is the ratio of to Solution 1 WLOG, let and . 1 / 21 Since the ratio of to is , we can substitute in the value of to get . The ratio of to is , so . The ratio of to is then so our answer is Problem4 The acute angles of a right triangle are and , where and both and are prime numbers. What is the least possible value of ? Solution Since the three angles of a triangle add up to and one of the angles is because its a right triangle, . The greatest prime number less than is . If , then , which is not prime. The next greatest prime number less than is . If , then , which IS prime, so we have our answer ~quacker88 Problem5 How many distinguishable arrangements are there of 1 brown tile, 1 purple tile, 2 green tiles, and 3 yellow tiles in a row from left to right? (Tiles of the same color are indistinguishable.) Solution 1 Lets first find how many possibilities there would be if they were all distinguishable, then divide out the ones we overcounted. T
