Yes because of u convert 113 centimeters into inches you still get 11.3 but the garden could be a square I think this is right I don't know for sure

Sketch the algebra-tile shape at right on your paper. Write an expression for the

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Part 1) $P=(4x+4)\ units$

Part 2)

a) $P=32\ units$

b) $P=26\ units$

c) $P=13\frac{1}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>

Part 1) Write an expression for the perimeter of the shape

we know that

The figure is composed by a larger square, a rectangle and a smaller square

1) The area of the larger square is given

$A=x^2\ units^2$

so

The length and the width of the larger square is x units

2) The area of the rectangle is given

$A=x\ units^2$

so

The length of the rectangle is x units and the width is 1 unit

3) The length and the width of the smaller square is x units

see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem

Find out the perimeter

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

so

$P=(x+x+x+x+1+1+1+1)$

$P=(4x+4)\ units$

Part 2) Find the perimeter for each of the given values of x.

a) For x=7 units

Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

$P=(4(7)+4)=32\ units$

b) For x=5.5 units

Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

$P=(4(5.5)+4)=26\ units$

b) For x=7/3 units

Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

$P=(4(\frac{7}{3})+4)=\frac{40}{3}=13\frac{1}{3}\ units$

In a certain college, 33% of the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities. Of 8 students are selected at random from the physi

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: 0.0187

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution formula for probability :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities =0.33

Number of students selected : n= 8

Now, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority :-

$P(x>5)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)\\\\=^8C_6(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+^8C_7(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+^8C_8(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=(\dfrac{8!}{6!2!})(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+(8)(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=0.0186577086013\approx0.0187$

Hence, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority = 0.0187

The base of a triangle is 3 cm longer than its altitude. The area of the triangle is 35cm^2. Find the altitude. (Hint: use the a

klemol [59]

The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.
