We can use Pascals Triangle to help us solve problems involving combinations. If we have 4
chess players and need to choose 2 to play a game, we can find how many ways this can be done
by looking at Row 4 and choosing Entry 2 which is circled above. (Note: Entry 0 is the 1 at the
beginning of each row).

(b)

Use Pascals triangle to calculate how many ways you can choose 5 basketball players from
a team of 6. Circle the number you used in the triangle.
