The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width.the permitted of the rectangle is 72ft find the dimensions of the rectangle

1 answer:

4 0

Lets set up the relationship of the length to width:

l = 3w

Using this, we can make all the variables the same by substitution:

2l + 2w = perimeter
2l + 2w = 72
2(3w) + 2w = 72
6w + 2w = 72
8w = 72
w = 9

The width is 9, to the length must be 9*3, or 27.

Hope this helped!

If a card is picked at random from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability of getting a spade or a 8

g100num [7]

Answer:

1/4, 25%, or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, as each suit contains 13 cards, and the deck is split up into 4 suits, that leaves us with a 13/52 chance to pick a spade.

That fraction is equivalent to 1/4, so that leaves us with a probability of picking a spade at:

1/4, 25%, or 0.25

Given the recursive formula for a geometric sequence find the common ratio, the first four terms, and the explicit formula.

Dahasolnce [82]

Since a(n)=-3(a(n-1)) the common ratio is -3, and a(1)=-3 so

a(n)=-3(-3^(n-1)) so the first four terms are:

-3, 9, -27, 81

Find the constant of variation k for the inverse variation. Then write an equation for the inverse variation. Y=4.5 when x = 3

Nookie1986 [14]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=4.5\\
x=3
\end{cases}\implies 4.5=\cfrac{k}{3}\implies 4.5(3)=k
\\\\\\
13.5=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{13.5}{x}}$
