In kite ABCD, AB = BC and CD = DA. AB = (3x + 4), BC = x + 8, CD = y + 7, and DA = 2y + 5, find the perimeter of the kite

1 answer:

8 0

3x + 4 = x+ 8 > 3x - x = 2x > 2x + 4 = 8 > 8 - 4 = 4 > 2x / 2 crosses out > 4 / 2 = 2 > x=2
2y + 5 = y + 7 > 2y - y = y > y+ 5 = 7 > 7-5= 2 > y=2

the perimeter of the kite is 4

Two semicircles are attached to the sides of a rectangle as shown.

Answer:

$157\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of rectangle plus the area of two semicircles

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=14*5=70\ in^{2}$

The area of the small semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=5/2=2.5\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(2.5^{2})/2=9.8125 in^{2}$

The area of the larger semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=14/2=7\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(7^{2})/2=76.93\ in^{2}$

The area of the figure is equal to

$70+9.8125+76.93=156.7425=157\ in^{2}$

Steph makes 90 % 90%90, percent of the free throws she attempts. She is going to shoot 3 33 free throws. Assume that the results

zmey [24]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.027 = 2.7% probability that he makes exactly 1 of the 3 free throws.

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes, either he makes it, or he misses it. The results of free throws are independent from each other, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
