Length of a rectangle is 4 inches less than twice it’s width of the perimeter is 70 inches what’s the dimensions?

1 answer:

3 0

W= width
L= length= 2W-4
Perimeter= 70

FIND WIDTH:
P= 2(L + W)
P= 2L + 2W
substitute 2W-4 for L
70= 2(2W-4) + 2W
multiply 2 by all in parentheses
70= (2*2W) + (2*-4) + 2W
70= 4W - 8 + 2W
combine like terms
70= 6W - 8
add 8 to both sides
78= 6W
divide both sides by 6
13= W

FIND LENGTH:
substitute w=13 to find width
L= 2W-4
L= 2(13)-4
L= 26-4
L= 22

CHECK:
P= 2(L + W)
70= 2(22 + 13)
70= (2*22) + 2(13)
70= 44 + 26
70= 70

ANSWER:
length= 22 inches
width= 13 inches

Hope this helps! :)

A 5 divided by 48 lottery involves choosing 5 of the numbers from 1 through 48 and a 4 divided by 35 lottery involves choosing 4

Anika [276]

Answer:

4/35 lottery is easier to win.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 5/48 lottery, the winning probability is $\frac{5}{48}$ ≈0.1042

For the 4/35 lottery, the winning probability is $\frac{4}{35}$ ≈ 0.1143

Since $\frac{4}{35}$ > $\frac{5}{48}$ , the lottery where one chooses 4 of the numbers 1 through 35 is easier to win.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

For this case the population represent all the professional athletes in the researcher city and we can assume that the sample size for tis population is N =982 and represent all the individuals of interest for the study and the parameter of interest is the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled $p$ .

In order to estimate te parameters of the population the researcher select a sample of 400 professional athletes and just 86 of them returns the questionnaire sent. So then the real sample is the n =86 people who return the info, because the other people are part of the non response rate, and from this sample she found that the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled is $\hat p=0.76$ .
