The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. Find the length and the width of the parallelogram

Answers

Answer 1
the length would be 26 and the width would be 16.
L = length
w = width
p = perimeter

p=72

2L+2w=72

L=w+4

2(w+4) + 2w = 72
2w + 8 + 2w = 72
4w = 64
w = 16

2L + 2(16) = 72
2L + 32 = 72
2L = 52
L = 26

w = 16
L = 26
Answer 2

Answer:

Length is 20 meters and width is 16 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Perimeter of parallelogram is 72 meters.

            Width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length.

To find: Length and width of the parallelogram.

Solution: Let the length of the parallelogram be x meters. So, width of the parallelogram is [tex]x-4[/tex] meters.

As per question,

[tex]x+x+x-4+x-4=72[/tex]

[tex]4x-8=72[/tex]

[tex]4x=72+8[/tex]

[tex]4x=80[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{80}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Hence, length of the parallelogram is 20 meters, and width of the parallelogram is [tex]20-4=16[/tex] meters.

Total                   61                                    D                            53                171

From the table, we have the following equations

[tex]B + 33 + C = 90[/tex]

[tex]A + 24 + 34 = E[/tex]

[tex]61 + D + 53 = 171[/tex]

The above equations become:

[tex]B + 33 + C = 90[/tex]

[tex]B + C = 57[/tex]

[tex]A + 24 + 34 = E[/tex]

[tex]A + 58 = E[/tex]

[tex]61 + D + 53 = 171[/tex]

[tex]D= 57[/tex]

Also from the table, we have the following equations

[tex]B + A = 61[/tex]

[tex]C + 34 = 53[/tex]

[tex]90 + E = 171[/tex]

Solve for C and E in the above equations

[tex]C + 34 = 53[/tex]

[tex]C = 19[/tex]

[tex]90 + E = 171[/tex]

[tex]E = 81[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]A + 58 = E[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A + 58 = 81[/tex]

[tex]A = 23[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]B + A = 61[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B + 23 = 61[/tex]

[tex]B = 38[/tex]

Hence, the values that can be determined from the table are:

A = 23, B = 38, C = 19, D = 57 and E = 81

Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. you have two balanced, six-sided dice. one is a standard die, with faces having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 spots. the other die has three faces with 0 spots and three faces with 6 spots. what are the possible values for the total number of spots y on the up-faces when you roll these two dice?

Answers

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
   
One die can show the values 1-6, while the other die can only show 0 or 6. So the possible totals are 1 through 6 plus 0 and 1 through 6 plus 6. Written out, one-by-one, this gives: 1+0 = 1 2+0 = 2 3+0 = 3 4+0 = 4 5+0 = 5 6+0 = 6 1+6 = 7 2+6 = 8 3+6 = 9 4+6 = 10 5+6 = 11 6+6 = 12
Final answer:

When rolling a standard die and another die with faces having either 0 or 6 spots, the possible total values y range from 1 to 12, excluding the numbers 5 and 6 twice due to the unique nature of the second die.

Explanation:

The question asks about the possible values for the total number of spots y on the up-faces when you roll two nonstandard dice: a standard six-sided die with faces having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 spots, and another die with three faces having 0 spots and three faces having 6 spots. To find y, we need to consider all the possible outcomes of rolling these two dice and summing the numbers of spots on the up-faces.

If the standard die shows a 1, y can be 1+0=1 or 1+6=7.If it shows a 2, y can be 2+0=2 or 2+6=8.If it shows a 3, y can be 3+0=3 or 3+6=9.If it shows a 4, y can be 4+0=4 or 4+6=10.If it shows a 5, y can be 5+0=5 or 5+6=11.If it shows a 6, y can be 6+0=6 or 6+6=12.

Therefore, the possible values for y are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

A professional baseball team will play 1 game Saturday and 1 game Sunday. A sportswriter estimates the team has a 60% chance of winning on Saturday but only a 35% chance of winning on Sunday. Using the sportswriter's estimates, what is the probability that the team will lose both games?

A) 14%
B) 21%
C) 25%
D) 26%
E) 39%

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability of losing both games, multiply the probabilities of losing each game together. The probability is 26%.

Explanation:

To find the probability that the team will lose both games, we can multiply the probabilities of losing each game together.

The probability of losing on Saturday is 1 - 60%, or 40%. The probability of losing on Sunday is 1 - 35%, or 65%. Multiplying these probabilities gives us 40% × 65% = 26%.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 26%

Did I do number 2 right?

Answers

You should have 
y = a*(x-p)*(x-q)
2 = a*(x-0)*(x-1)
2 = a*(2-0)*(2-1)
2 = a*(2)*(1)
2 = 2a
2a = 2
2a/2 = 2/2
a = 1

So the equation 
y = a(x-0)(x-1)
updates to
y = 1(x-0)(x-1)
and that simplifies to
y = x(x-1)

The next step is to distribute the x through to get this final answer
y = x^2-x

Of the 30 girls who tried out for lacrosse team at euclid middle school ,12 were selected .of the 40 boys who tried out 16 were selected .and the ratio of the number of studets on the team to the number of students trying out the same for both boys and girls ? how do you know

Answers

ratio of students selected on the team / the number of students trying out...

boys : 
on the team -- 16
trying out -- 40
ratio is : 16/40 which reduces to 2/5

girls :
on the team -- 12
trying out -- 30
ratio is : 12/30 which reduces to 2/5

so yes, the ratios are the same because in both boys and girls, the number of players selected was 2/5 of the total who tried out.
Calculation for Girls
30 ÷6= 5
12 ÷6 =2 

∴For Girls 2:5

Calculation for Boys

A dependent variable is a. directly changed by the experimenter. b. manipulated by changes to the independent variable. c. a variable that is kept constant. d. a variable that is used as a control.

Answers

Hi there!

A dependent variable is one that is changed, when the independent variable changes.

For example, if we wanted to calculate how many dollars we've earned in a given amount of time, time would be the independant variable, because it is a constant and is not affected by how much many we earn. The amount of money we earned is directly affected by the independent variable, time.

Your answer is b.

Hope I helped!

Be sure to leave a "Brainliest" if I was helpful. Or not lol. I really don't care tbh XD

Answer:- Option b. is the right answer. A dependent variable is manipulated by changes to the independent variable.


Explanation:-

In mathematical modelling or scientific research  a variable is defined as a term that has a quantity that varies. There are two kinds of variables:- 1) dependent variables 2) independent variables.

A independent variable can be change by the experimenter to check the effects on dependent variables which is observed by the him in a scientific experiment.

Thus, A dependent variable is manipulated by changes to the independent variable.

The area of a square is 18 sq in less than twice the area of a triangle. the base of the triangle is 3 in longer and the altitude is the same length as the side of the square

Answers

Let the side of the square = x

So, the altitude of the triangle = x
and it's base = x+3


2 (area of triangle) - 18 = area of the square


area of the triangle = (1/2)height× base
and
area of the square = side^2


{ (2)(1/2)(x)(x+3)} -18 = x^2
x^2 + 3 x -18 = x^2
3x -18 =0
3x = 18
x = 6


so, the length of one side of the square = 6 units = altitude of the triangle
and the base of the triangle = 6+ 3 = 9cm.
