The length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

length = 10 in, width = 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

Then, length = (x+4)

Area = 60 in²

Area of a rectangle = width × length

60 = x × (x+4)

60 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x - 60 = 0

Splitting the middle term :-

x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0

x (x + 10) - 6 ( x + 10) =0

(x + 10) ( x - 6)

x = -10 (doesn't fulfill our requirement)

x = 6

So, width = 6 in

length = 6+4 = 10 in

A recent survey by the cancer society has shown that the probability that someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29. They have also deter
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is P (S∩LC) = 0.16.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is known that the probability if someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29 and the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are also smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552.

So using the above information, we are to find the probability hat a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC).

P (LC|S) = P (S∩LC) / P (S)

Substituting the given values to get:

0.552 = P(S∩LC) / 0.29

P (S∩LC) = 0.552 × 0.29 = 0.16

Can someone please help with #16
ollegr [7]

Answer:

∠ WZX = 50°

XW is not an altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

16. See the attached figure.

XW is the angle bisector of ∠ YXZ, hence, ∠ WXY = ∠ WXZ

Now, given that ∠ YXZ = 8x + 34 and ∠ WXY = 10x - 13

Hence, ∠ YXZ = 2 ∠ WXY

⇒ 8x + 34 = 2(10x - 13)

⇒ 8x + 34 = 20x - 26

⇒ 12x = 60

⇒ x = 5.

Hence, ∠ XZY = ∠ WZX = 10x = 50° (Answer)

Now, ∠ WXZ = ∠ WXY = 10x - 13 = 37°

Hence, from Δ WXZ,

∠ WZX + ∠ WXZ + ∠ XWZ = 180°

⇒ 50° + 37° + ∠ XWZ = 180°

⇒ ∠ XWZ = 93° ≠ 90°

Hence, XW is not an altitude. (Answer)

HELP ASAP TEST IS OMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: C)46 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circumference of a circle can be calculated with this formula:

C=2\pi r

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

Since John is putting a fence around his garden that is shaped like a half circle and a rectangle, then we can find how much fencing he needs by making this addition:

Fencing=\frac{2\pi r}{2}+2l+w

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width of the rectangle.

Since we know that the radius of the circle is half its diameter, we can find "r". This is:

r=\frac{7ft}{2}=3.5ft

Then, substituting values (and using \pi=\frac{22}{7}), we get:

Fencing=\frac{2(\frac{22}{7})(3.5ft)}{2}+2(14ft)+7ft=46ft
