Answer:

Area = 32feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangule = 2(length+width)

Then:

g = 2w               Eq. 1

2(g+w) = 24       Eq. 2

g = length

w = width

From Eq. 2:

(2*g + 2*w) = 24

2g + 2w = 24      

2w = 24 - 2g            Eq. 3

Matching Eq. 1  and Eq. 3

g = 24 - 2g

g + 2g = 24

3g = 24

g = 24/3

g = 8 feet

From Eq. 1

g = 2w

8 = 2w

8/2 = w

w = 4 feet

Check:

From Eq. 2

2(g+w) = 24

2(8+4) = 24

2*12 = 24

Answer:

Area of a rexctangle = length * width

Then:

Area = 8feet * 4feet

Area = 32feet²

Researchers wanted to see which species of lizard (A, B, or C) is most likely to survive a bacterial infection. So they infected
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A) attached below

B) 0.61

C) 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Total number of lizards infected = 38

Of the 15 species B lizards 40% survived

For specie C one more survived than died

Out of the 24 lizards that died 1/3 were species A

<u>A) contingency table </u>

attached below

<u>B) Determine the proportion of these lizards in this study that were either specie A or Specie B </u>

P ( A or B ) = ( 8 + 15 ) / 38 = 0.605 ≈ 0.61

<u>C) determine the probability that specie C lizard did not study </u>

P ( not surviving  | C ) = 7 / 15 = 0.466 ≈ 0.47

MAJJJOORR HELLPPPP!!!!!
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is:

X=2

Y=4

Here's how you solve it!

log5\sqrt{5}( 125)= x

Write in exponential form.

log_{5} \frac{3}{2} 125=x

log_{5} \frac{3}{2} (5^{3} )=x

Simplify.

x=2

log_{2\sqrt{2} 64= y

Write in exponential form

log_{2}\frac{3}{2}  (2x^{6} )= y

Simplify.

y=4

Hope this helps! :3
