The length is 15 inches and width is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

l be the length

and

w be the width

w = l-6

The area of rectangle is 135 ft^2

The formula for area is:

Area=l*w\\135=l*(l-6)\\135=l^2-6l\\l^2-6l-135=0\\l^2+9l-15l-135=0\\l(l+9)-15(l+9)=0\\(l+9)(l-15)=0\\l+9 = 0 => l=-9\\l-15 = 0 => l=15\\

As the length cannot be negative, so we will use the value of length 15

If length 15,

w=l-6

w=15-6

w=9

So,

The length is 15 inches and width is 9 inches

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an
Nady [450]

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 numbers which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Odd numbers in a die = 1, 3 and 6

Numbers greater than 4 = 5 and 6

Probability of rolling an odd number = 3/6 = 1/2

Probability of rolling a number greater than 4 = 2/6 = 1/3

We then multiply both values gotten. This will be:

= 1/2 × 1/3

= 1/6

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number the first time and a number greater than 4 the second time is 1/6.

What is the tan invers of 3i/-1-i​
postnew [5]

<em>z</em> = 3<em>i</em> / (-1 - <em>i</em> )

<em>z</em> = 3<em>i</em> / (-1 - <em>i</em> ) × (-1 + <em>i</em> ) / (-1 + <em>i</em> )

<em>z</em> = (3<em>i</em> × (-1 + <em>i</em> )) / ((-1)² - <em>i</em> ²)

<em>z</em> = (-3<em>i</em> + 3<em>i</em> ²) / ((-1)² - <em>i</em> ²)

<em>z</em> = (-3 - 3<em>i </em>) / (1 - (-1))

<em>z</em> = (-3 - 3<em>i </em>) / 2

Note that this number lies in the third quadrant of the complex plane, where both Re(<em>z</em>) and Im(<em>z</em>) are negative. But arctan only returns angles between -<em>π</em>/2 and <em>π</em>/2. So we have

arg(<em>z</em>) = arctan((-3/2)/(-3/2)) - <em>π</em>

arg(<em>z</em>) = arctan(1) - <em>π</em>

arg(<em>z</em>) = <em>π</em>/4 - <em>π</em>

arg(<em>z</em>) = -3<em>π</em>/4

where I'm taking arg(<em>z</em>) to have a range of -<em>π</em> < arg(<em>z</em>) ≤ <em>π</em>.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

4 hours and 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Christchurch is 2 hours ahead of Sydney, you subtract 2 from 12:45 and get 10:45 so then, you determine the difference between 10:45 and 6:00 AM and it results in 4.75 hours or 4 hours and 45 minutes
