Question 11

What is the tens digit in the sum

Solution

Since 10! is divisible by 100, any factorial greater than 10! is also divisible by 100. The last two digits of the sum of all factorials greater than 10! are 00, so the last two digits of 10!+11!+...+2006! are 00.

So all that is needed is the tens digit of the sum 7!+8!+9!

7!+8!+9!=5040+40320+362880=408240

Question 15

Rhombus is similar to rhombus . The area of rhombus is and . What is the area of rhombus ?

Solution

Connecting DB, AE, and CF, we will see that the rhombus ABCD is divided into 6 congruent triangles.
So rhombus DEBF is 1/3 of the larger rhombus since it is compsed of 2 of the 6 congruent triangles.
