Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter means adding up all of the sides of a shape.

One property of a square is that all lengths of a square are the same.

We also know squares have 4 sides.

Lets set up an expression to solve the length for each side with variable S representing the length of a side:

4 * S = 40

Divide each side by 4:

S = 10

Therefore, each side of the square has a length 10m

he U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average annual expenditure on food and drink for all families is $5700. Assu

Papessa [141]

Answer:

87.08% percentage of families spend more than $4000 annually on food and drink

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

average annual expenditure on food and drink for all families is $5700

Mean $(\nu)$ = 5700

standard deviation $(\sigma )$ = 1500

Let X be the no of families spend annually on food and drink

percentage of families spend more than $4000 annually on food and drink =

$P(X > 4000)$ = $P(\frac{X - \nu }{\sigma }> \frac{ 4000 - 5700}{1500})$

= $P(Z > - 1.13)$ Using $(Z = \frac{X - \nu }{\sigma })$

= 1 - $P(Z$

= 1 - .1292

= .8708

= 87.08%

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x – 5 and passes through the point (1, -3).

Svetradugi [14.3K]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5$

well then therefore

$\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}$
