A rectangle has a length that is 2 meters more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 288 square meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

L = 18 and w = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is 2 more than the width or 2 + w and the width is w, substitute these values and A = 288 to solve for w.

[tex]A = l*w\\288 = w(2+w)\\288 = w^2 + 2w[/tex]

To solve for w, move 288 to the other side by subtraction. Then factor and solve.

[tex]w^2 + 2w  - 288 = 0 \\(w +18)(w-16) = 0\\[/tex]

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 16 = 0 so w = 16

w + 18 = 0 so w = -18

Since w is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then w = 16 is the width of the rectangle.

This means the length is 16 + 2 = 18.

A survey of eating habits showed that approximately 4​% of people in a certain city are vegans. Vegans do not eat​ meat, poultry,​ fish, seafood,​ eggs, or milk. A restaurant in the city expects 350 people on opening​ night, and the chef is deciding on the menu. Treat the patrons as a simple random sample from the city and the surrounding​ area, which has a population of about​ 600,000. If 17 vegan meals are​ available, what is the approximate probability that there will not be enough vegan mealslong dashthat ​is, the probability that 18 or more vegans will come to the​ restaurant? Assume the vegans are independent and there are no families of vegans.

Answers

Final answer:

The approximate probability that there will not be enough vegan meals is 94.88%.

Explanation:

To calculate the approximate probability that there will not be enough vegan meals, we need to find the probability that 18 or more vegans will come to the restaurant. Since the survey showed that approximately 4% of people in the city are vegans, we can use this information to estimate the probability.

First, we find the number of vegans in the city and surrounding area by multiplying the total population by the percentage of vegans: 600,000 * 0.04 = 24,000.

Next, we calculate the probability of 18 or more vegans showing up out of 24,000 by using a binomial distribution with n = 350 (the number of people expected on opening night) and p = 0.04 (the probability of a person being vegan). We then sum the probabilities for 18, 19, 20, ..., 350 vegans.

Using a calculator or statistical software, we find that the approximate probability is 0.9488, or 94.88%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.

Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.

Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;

k = 1*4 = 4

The formula for a convergent series is [tex]\frac{a_{1}}{1-r}[/tex]. By plugging in 1/5 for r and 50 for  [tex]a_{1}[/tex] we can find that the sum of this infinite series is 62.5

What is the value of the remainder if 10x4 – 6x3 + 5x2 – x + 1 is divided by x – 3?

Answers

Answer:

Remainder is 691.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is [tex]10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1[/tex].

Now we need to find remainder if we divide given function [tex]10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1[/tex] by (x-3)

(x-3) means plug x=3 into [tex]10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1[/tex] to find remainder.

[tex]10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1[/tex]

[tex]=10(3)^4-6(3)^3+5(3)^2-(3)+1[/tex]

[tex]=10(81)-6(27)+5(9)-(3)+1[/tex]

[tex]=810-162+45-3+1[/tex]

[tex]=856-162-3[/tex]

[tex]=856-165[/tex]

[tex]=691[/tex]

Hence remainder is 691.

Answer:

The remainder = 691

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p(x) = 10x⁴ - 6x³ + 5x² - x + 1

We have to divide p(x) by (x - 3)

To find the remainder we  have to find p(3)

To find the remainder

p(x) = 10x⁴ - 6x³ + 5x² - x + 1

p(3) = 10 * (3)⁴ - 6*(3)³ + 5* (3)² - 3 + 1

 = (10 * 81 ) - ( 6 * 27 ) + (5 * 9) - 3 + 1

 = 810 - 162 + 45 - 3 + 1 = 691

Therefore the remainder is 691

Points A and B split the circle into two arcs. Measure of minor arc is 150°. Point M splits major arc with the ratio 2:5 (point M is closer to point B). Find m?BAM.

Answers

Answer:

∠BAM=30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A and B split the circle into two arcs. If the measure of minor arc AB is 150°, then the measure of the major arc AB is 360°-150°=210°.

If point M splits major arc with the ratio 2:5, then

∠BOM=2x°;∠AOM=5x°.

Angles BOM and AOM together form angle with the measure 210°, thus

2x+5x=210,

7x=210,

x=30°

and ∠BOM=60°, ∠AOM=150°.

Consider isosceles triangle BOM. In this triangle,

∠OBM=1/2(180°-60°)=60°.

Consider isosceles triangle AOB. In this triangle,

∠OAB=1/2(180°-150°)=15°.

Consider isosceles triangle AOM. In this triangle,

∠OAM=1/2(180°-150°)=15°.

Thus, ∠BAM=15°+15°=30°

Answer:

arc BAM =  300°

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the figure attached.

arc AB = 150°

then:

arc AMB = 360° - 150° = 210°

arc AMB can be decomposed as:  

arc AM + arc MB = arc AMB (eq. 1)

From data:

arc MB/arc AM = 2/5

arc MB*(5/2) = arc AM (eq. 2)

Replacing equation 2 into equation 1:

arc MB*(5/2) + arc MB = 210°

arc MB*(7/2) =  210°

arc MB = (2/7)*210° = 60°

On the other hand:

arc MB + arc BAM = 360°

arc BAM = 360° - 60° =  300°

A number is divided by 3 and then 5 is subtracted from the quotient the result is 1. Whats the number?

Answers

ANSWER

The number is 18.

EXPLANATION

Let the number be x.

When this number is divided by 3, we obtain the quotient,

[tex] \frac{x}{3} [/tex]

When 5 is subtracted from this quotient, we get,

[tex] \frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]

If the result is 1, then we have;

[tex] \frac{x}{3} - 5 = 1[/tex]

We group similar terms to get,

[tex] \frac{x}{3} = 1 + 5[/tex]

This gives us,

[tex] \frac{x}{3} = 6[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3.

[tex]x = 6 \times 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 18[/tex]

Therefore the number is 18.

If you know the radius, r, of a circle, what do you multiply r by to get the circle's CIRCUMFERENCE?

Answers

Answer:

multiply the radius by 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for circumference of a circle is

C = πD     where D is the diameter,

or

C = 2πr    where r is the radius.

Either formula is correct, but we will work with the second one since the question is asking about radius.

We see that 2π(r) = the circumference, so multiply r by 2π to get the circumference

Hello there! How are you doing? I am doing fine! I'll answer the question now.  

So basically when wanting to find the circumference of a circle you simply use the formula, C = 2 times PI times R. PI is the infamous number known for 3.1415912654... and the R represents the radius. You would multiply 2 times PI  and then after getting that you would basically multiply it by the radius. And then that would be the circumference and be the answer to any problem you face like this. Know that diameter is 2 times the radius and that all.

Sadie made a rectangular cake. If she wants to cut it into 1/8 portions,how many portions can she cut?

Answers

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

If each portion is 1/8 of the cake, there are 8 equal-size portions. That is what the denominator of the fraction means.

Sadie can cut the rectangular cake into 8 portions if each portion is 1/8 of the whole cake.

To determine how many portions Sadie can cut the rectangular cake into if each portion is 1/8, we need to understand that she is essentially dividing the cake into 8 equal parts.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Whole Cake: The entire rectangular cake represents one whole (1).

→ Portion Size: Each portion is 1/8 of the whole cake.

→ Calculation: We divide 1 by 1/8. Mathematically, this is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal,

so 1 ÷ (1/8) = 1 × 8

                 = 8.

Therefore, Sadie can cut the rectangular cake into 8 portions of size 1/8 each.

Answers

Answer:

The ratio for sin(X) is [tex]\frac{\sqrt{119} }{12}[/tex]

The ratio for cos(X) is [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

- The ratio of the sine of a right triangle is:

[tex]sin(\alpha)=\frac{opposite-side}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Since we need the ratio for angle X, [tex]\alpha =X[/tex]. From the picture we can infer that the opposite side of X is [tex]\sqrt{119}[/tex]. The hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is 12, so replacing the values:

[tex]sin(X)=\frac{\sqrt{119} }{12}[/tex]

- The ratio of the cosine is:

[tex]cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent-side}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Similarly, [tex]\alpha =X[/tex], adjacent side = 5, and hypotenuse = 12, so

[tex]cos(X)=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Answer:

Sin X =√119/12

Cs X = 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a right angled triangle.

Points to remember

Sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

Cos θ = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse

To find the value of Sin X  

Here X is an angle

Opposite side = √119

Hypotenuse = 12

Sin X = Opposite side/Hypotenuse = ZY/XY = √119/12

To find the value of Cos X

Adjacent side of X = 5

Cos X = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse = XZ/XY = 5/12

Nakesha’s Sporting Goods is running a sale on golf shoes this week. The sale price is $95.98. The shoes cost Nakesha’s $63.45. What is the markup rate based on cost?

Answers

Answer:

Markup rate = 0.512 or 51.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark up rate is the increase amount added to the original price.

Sales Price = $95.98

Original Price= $63.45

Gross profit margin = Sales Price - Original cost

                                = $95.98 - $63.45

                                = $ 32.53

Mark up Rate = Gross profit margin/ original price

                                  = 32.53 / 63. 45

                                  = 0.51

converting into percentage by multiplying with 100

Mark up Percentage = 0.512 * 100

A car factory takes 6 hours to produce 60 cars. How many hours does the factory take to produce 180 cars?

Answers

Final answer:

The factory takes 18 hours to produce 180 cars.

Explanation:

To find out how many hours the factory takes to produce 180 cars, we need to set up a proportion. Since the factory takes 6 hours to produce 60 cars, we can set up the proportion:

6 hours / 60 cars = x hours / 180 cars

Cross-multiplying, we get:

6(180) = 60(x)

Simplifying, we have:

1080 = 60x

Dividing both sides by 60, we find:

x = 18

So, the factory takes 18 hours to produce 180 cars.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface are of the prism will be the area of a each side added together. The work would look like this:

SA = 2[(l×h)+(l×b)+(b×h)]

SA = 2(lh+lb+bh)

But if you multiply each dimension by 5, the area becomes

SA = 2[(5l×5h)+(5l×5b)+(5b×5h)]

SA = 2(5²lh+5²lb+5²bh)

SA = 5²×2(lh+lb+bh)

SA = 5²area

Since 5² = 25, then the the surface area is multiplied in size by 25.
