The area of the considered parallelogram RTSU is given by: Option A: 21 sq. units

<h3>How to find the area of a parallelogram?</h3>

Area of a parallelogram  = (its height × its base) sq. units.

<h3>What is the distance between two points ( p,q) and (x,y)?</h3>

The shortest distance(length of the straight line segment's length connecting both given points) between points ( p,q) and (x,y) is:

D = \sqrt{(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2} \: \rm units

For this case, the missing diagram is attached below.

If we take the base as ST then as ST is parallel to y axis, the line perpendicular to ST would be parallel to x axis. The heigth of a parallogram  is the perpendicular distance between its base and top.

The base is ST and top is RU, the line segment US is perpendicular to both RU and US and its length,therefore, will serve as height as its length=perpendicular distance between the base and the top of the parallelogram.

Thus, we get:

Area of RTSU = Length of ST × Length of US

The coordinates of endpoints of ST are (4,-1), (4,-4)

Thus, the length of ST = distance between S and T = \sqrt{(4-4)^2 + (-1 - (-4))^2 }= 3

The coordinates of endpoints of US are (-3,-1), (4,-1)

Thus, the length of US = distance between U and S = \sqrt{(-3-4)^2 + (-1 - (-1))^2 }= 7

Thus, Area of RTSU = Length of ST × Length of US = 3 × 7 = 21 sq. units.

Thus, the area of the considered parallelogram RTSU is given by: Option A: 21 sq. units

Six percent (6%) of all shoppers make an impulse purchase at the check-out counter in a grocery store. If a store has 650 custom
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

(e) 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value (or the average number) of impulse purchases per day is given by the probability of an impulse purchase being made (6%) multiplied by the daily number of customers (650):

E(X) =P(X)* n\\E(X) = 0.06*650\\E(X) = 39

The average number of impulse purchases is 39 per day.

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. The length of the deck
leva [86]
Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)

The area of the original deck is W*4W=4W^{2}

The dimensions of the new deck are :

length = 4W+6
width=W+2

so the area of the new deck is :

(4W+6)(W+2)= 4W^{2}+8W+6W+12= 4W^{2}+14W+12

"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:

4W^{2}+14W+12=68+4W^{2}

14W+12=68

14W=68-12=56

W= \frac{56}{14}= 4

the length is 4W=4*4=16    ft


Answer: width: 4, length: 16
