The area of a rectangular ceiling tile is 756 square inches. The perimeter is 114 inches. What are the dimensions of the tile?

Answers

Answer 1

Here we need to use what we know about rectangles to make a system of equations.

By solving that system we found that the tile has a length of 36 inches and a width of 21 inches.

Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(L + W)

And the area is:

A = W*L

Here we know that the perimeter is 114 inches, then we can write:

114in = 2*(L + W)

We also know that the area is 756 in^2, then we can write:

756 in^2 = L*W

So we found two equations, which means that we have a system of two equations with two variables:

114in = 2*(L + W)

756 in^2 = L*W

To solve this, the first step is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, we can isolate L in the first equation:

114in = 2*(L + W)

114in/2 = (L + W)

57in = L + W

57in - W = L

Now that we have an expression equivalent to L, we can replace it in the other equation to get:

756 in^2 = L*W

756 in^2 = (57in - W)*W

Now we can solve this for W.

756 in^2 = W*57in - W^2

W^2 - W*57in + 756 in^2 = 0

The solutions are given by the Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]W = \frac{57in \pm \sqrt{(-57in)^2 - 4*1*(756in^2)} }{2*1} = \frac{57in \pm 15in}{2}[/tex]

Then the two possible values of the width will be:

W = (57in + 15in)/2 =  36 in

W = (57in - 15in)/2 = 21 in

Suppose that we choose the second solution, W = 21in

Now using the equation 57in - W = L we can find the value of L

L = 57in - W = 57in - 21in = 36in

L = 36in

Then we found that the tile has a length of 36 inches and a width of 21 inches.

Answers

Answer:

He should sell it at the cost of 11,115.7895 Rs

Explanation:

Find original price:

100% - 5% = 95% = 9600

Let x be the original price.

Thus (95/100)x = 9600
x = (9600 x 100)/95
x = 960000/95
x = 10105.2632

Find the price in order to gain 10%.

x • 110% = 10105.2632 x 110/100 = 11,115.7895

A certain country is divided into 5 provinces. Each province consists entirely of Progressives and Traditionalists. If each province contains the same number of Traditionalists and the number of Traditionalists in any given province is 1/10 the total number of Progressives in the entire country, what fraction of the country is Traditionalist

Answers

Answer:

one third  (1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 5 provinces.

Each province contains the same number of Traditionalists, let's say that there are T traditionalists per province, thus, there are:

5*T in the country.

now we know that in each province, the number of traditionalists is equal to 1/10 of the total number of progressives in the entire country.

If there are a total of P progressives in the entire country, we will have that:

T = P/10

Then the total number of traditionalists in the entire country is:

5*T = 5*(P/10) = P/2

So in the whole country, there are P progressives and P/2 traditionalists.

So the total population is:

total = P + P/2 = (3/2)*P

We want to know what fraction of the country is traditionalist, this is equal to the quotient between the traditionalist population, P/2, and the total population, (3/2)*P

This is:

[tex]c = \frac{P/2}{(3/2)*P} = 1/3[/tex]

So one third of the country is traditionalist.

Answers

Answer:

D. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You just have to plug in numbers then solve.

(1,9) and (1,-4). Every coordinate is placed as (x,y)

(1,9) is labeled as (x1, y1)

(1,-4) is labeled as (x2,y2)

Now plug in the numbers.

d= Square root of (1-1)^2 + (-4-9)^2

d= Square root of 1^2 +-13^2

d= Square root of 1+169

d= Square root of 170

d= 13.04

Rounded to a whole number, the answer is 13

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to substitute the values in the distance formula,in this case x2 is 1,x1 is 1,y2 is -4 and y1 is 9

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

=√(1-1)²+(-4-9)²

=√(0)²+(-13)²

=√169

=13

Answers

Answer:

MZ = 10

ZO = 10

MO = 20

XZ = 9

YZ = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are all the same, proportionally.

X is midpoint of 14, so 7

Y for 18, so 9

Triangle with 10 is 7, 9, 10

Full triangle is double at 14, 18, MO

Since angle N is same angle, MO is double 10, so 20

Z is midpoint, so both halves are 10

Because of midpoints, XZ and YZ with 10 form same triangle as half triangle at 9, 7, and 10 respectively.

If the amount of waking time 4 year old children spend with their fathers each day is 42 minutes while the daily waking time spent in daycare is 6 hours, what is the ratio of time with father to time in daycare?

Answers

Answer:

7/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the question is phrased such that it asks "the ratio of time with father to....", we know to put the time with father on top, or first. Similarly, since it is asked to put the ratio of time with the father to the time in daycare, we can put the daycare amount second/on the bottom. Therefore, we can write the ratio as

(42 minutes)/(6 hours)

To make both of these in terms of minutes to simplify it, we know that 60 minutes = 1 hour, so 1 hour / 60 minutes =1 . Since multiplying something by 1 keeps it the same, we can multiply our ratio by this amount. We want to multiply with the hour on top so the hours cancel out, as so:

[tex]\frac{42 minutes}{6 hours} * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes} = \frac{42 minutes * hours}{360 minutes * hours} = \frac{42}{360}[/tex]

To simplify this even further, we can note that 6 is a factor of both 42 and 360*, so we can multiply this fraction by (1/6) / (1/6) to get

(42/360) * (1/6)/(1/6) = 7/60 as our final answer

If this doesn't come up immediately, you can always find the greatest common factor by listing the factors of each number and finding the highest one that fits both, e.g.

for 42: 42, 21, 14, 7 , 6...

for 360: 360,180, ... 6,5....

In a survey of women in a certain country the mean height was 62.9 inches with a standard deviation of 2.81 inches answer the followinv questions about the specified normal distribution

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In a survey of women in a certain country ( ages 20-29), the mean height was 62.9 inches with a standard deviation of 2.81 inches.  Answer the following questions about the specified normal distribution.  (a) What height represents the 99th percentile?  (b) What height represents the first quartile?  (Round to two decimal places as needed)

Solution :

Let the random variable X represents the height of women in a country.

Given :

X is normal with mean, μ = [tex]62.9[/tex] inches and the standard deviation, σ = [tex]2.81[/tex] inches

Let,

[tex]$Z=\frac{X - 62.9}{2.81}$[/tex] , then Z is a standard normal

a). Let the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile is = a

The point a is such that,

[tex]$P(X<a)=0.99$[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{a-62.9}{2.81} \right) = 0.99$[/tex]

From standard table, we get : [tex]P( Z < 2.3263) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(a-62.9)}{281} = 2.3263$[/tex]

  [tex]$a= (2.3263 \times 2.81 ) +62.9$[/tex]

     = 6.536903 + 62.9

     = 69.436903

     = 69.5 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile = 69.5 inches.

b). Let b = height represents the first quartile.

It is given by :

[tex]P( X < b) =0.25[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81} \right) = 0.25$[/tex]

From the standard normal table,

[tex]P( Z < -0.6745) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81}= 0.6745$[/tex]

[tex]$b=(0.6745 \times 2.81) +62.9$[/tex]

  = 1.895345 + 62.9

   = 64.795345

   = 64.8 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the 1st quartile is 64.8 inches.
