The width of a rectangle is 20% of its length. If the area of this rectangle is 720 square inches, what is its length?

1 answer:

8 0

ANSWER: Length is 60 inches. AREA=LENGTH×WIDTH if your width is 20%of your length then you would multiply your length by 20%. So 60×20%=12. So now you just multiply 12 by 60 and get 720.

$\frac{36}{25}=\frac{6^2}{5^2}=\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^2=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2}\\\\therefore:\\\\\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{4x}=\left[\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2}\right]^{9-x}\\\\\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{4x}=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{-2(9-x)}\iff4x=-2(9-x)\\\\4x=-2\cdot9-2\cdot(-x)\\\\4x=-18+2x\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\2x=-18\ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\\boxed{x=-9}$

$Use:\\a^{-n}=\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)^n\\\\\left(a^n\right)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\\left(\frac{a}{b} \right)^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$

Find the missing side lengths

timama [110]

since this a 45 45 90 right triangle to get the side lengths you divide 2 times the square root of 2 and you get 2, since this has two congruent angles which makes it an Isosceles triangle. your a and b value are 2.

Below are the jersey numbers of 11 players randomly selected from a football team. Find the range, variance, and standard devia

padilas [110]

Answer:

Option(A) is correct

Jersey numbers are nominal data that are just replacements for names, so the resulting statistics are meaningless.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set in the question are ;33, 29, 97, 56, 26, 78, 83, 74, 65, 47, 58

the range can be determined by finding the highest value and subtract it to the lowest value. In this case the values are:

Highest = 97

Lowest = 71
