Answer: The length is 24.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W.

Plug in the values you know

87 = 2L + 2(19)

Solve for L

87 = 2L + 38

subtract 38 from both sides

49 = 2L

divide both sides by 2

L = 24.5

Answer:

Calculus

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculus: z = (94-70)/12 = 2

Bio: z = (74.5-77)/10 = -0.25

History: z = (45-53)/16 = -0.5

Physics: (70.5-60)/14 = 0.75

A farmer plans to fence a rectangular corral. The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five yards longer than the width of the corral. The length of the corral is three times the width.

To find: The length of the diagonal of the corral.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular garden be <em>x</em> yards.

So, the length of the diagonal is $x+5$

width of the rectangular corral is $3x$

We know that the square of the diagonal is sum of the squares of the length and width.

So,

$(3x)^{2} +x^{2} =(x+5)^{2}$

$9x^{2} +x^{2} =x^{2}+10x+25$

$9x^{2}-10x-25=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^{2} -4(9)(-25)} }{2(9)}$

$x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100}}{18}$

Since, side can't be negative.

$x=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}$

Now, length of the diagonal is

$5+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}$

Hence, length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

a. P(X=50)= 0.36

b. P(X≤75) = 0.9

c. P(X>50)= 0.48

d. P(X<100) = 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

x 25 50 75 100 Total

P(x) 0.16 0.36 0.38 0.10 1.00

Where X is the variable and P(X) = probabililty of that variable.

From the above

a. P(X=50)= 0.36

We add the probabilities of the variable below and equal to 75

b. P(X≤75) = 0.16+ 0.36+ 0.38= 0.9

We find the probability of the variable greater than 50 and add it.

c. P(X>50)= 0.38+0.10= 0.48

It can be calculated in two ways. One is to subtract the probability of 100 from total probability of 1. And the other is to add the probabilities of all the variables less than 100 . Both would give the same answer.

d. P(X<100)= 1- P(X=100)= 1-0.1= 0.9
