Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so basically first I wanted to find the width, if you draw a model, it would be easy, so

I make 4 rectangles, one on top of the other for all of them.

so if you turn it clockwise 90 degrees, the rectangles are the same so if you draw them together then they over lap you can see that you can make a x:y for the lengths. If the width of the rectangle is 1 then the length of the rectangle is 4, 1:4 , so now we use the perimeter of 40 so now if the width is w and the length is l then wl is 20 (40/2) si niw 20/(1+4) which is 20/5 which is 4, so now we know that the width of the rectangle is 4 and the length is 4x4 which is 16 so now we can calculate the perimeter of the square, we know that the side length of the square is 16, so all we have to do is 16x4 which is 64.

A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

$\frac{37}{19}$ * $\frac{3}{1}$ = 37! $\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}$ = 53017895700

The number of possible ways to choose 20 calculators out of 40 calculators will be:

$\frac{40}{20}$ = $\frac{40!}{20!(40-20!)}$ =137846528820

The chance will be: 53017895700/ 137846528820 = 0.3846= 38.46%

M is the centroid (center of gravity) of △ABC, line k goes thru M and intersects AB and AC . The distances of the vertices B and

lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of BC will be a distance from line k that is the average of the distances of B and C: (17+13)/2 = 15. Call that midpoint P. We know distance MP is half of distance MA. This same relationship will hold with respect to the distances from P and A to any line through M. That is, the distance from line k (through M) is twice the distance from P to line k: 30 units.

In equilateral triangle RST, R has coordinates (0, 0) and T has coordinates of (2a, 0). Find the coordinates of S in terms of a.

FromTheMoon [43]

The x coordinate of S will be 1/2 * 2a = a.
and since the half triangle is 30-60-90 the y coordinate will be sqrt3 a

so S is (a , sqrt3a)
