Answer: 225 in.²

Step-by-step explanation: First, we want to find the length of one side. Since we know that a square has 4 sides and the perimeter is 60 inches, we can set up the following equation to find the length of one side.

Let's use l as our variable to represent length.

4l = 60

To get l by itself, we need to divide by 4 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 4 on the left side, we must also divide by 4 on the right side. On the left side, the 4's cancel and we are left with l. On the right side, we have 60 over 4 which simplifies to 15.

This means that a side of the square is 15 inches.

Now, we are asking ourselves what is the area of a square with a side length of 15 inches.

To find the area of a square, remember that a square is a type of rectangle so we can use the following formula.

<em>Area = length × width</em>

However, since the length and width of a square are always equal, we use a special version of this formula to find the area of a square.

Instead of <em>area = length × width</em>, we say that the area of a square equals side × side or S².

Since the sides of the square each have a length of 15 inches, the area of the square is equal to (15 in.)² or (15 in) (15 in) which equals 225 in.²

Therefore, the area of the square is 225 in.².

Answer:

<h2>A = 225 in²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a square:

A=s^2

<em>s</em><em> - side</em>

The formula of a perimeter of a square:

P=4s

<em>s</em><em> - side</em>

<em />

We have a perimeter

P=60\ in

Substitute:

4s=60             <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

\dfrac{4s}{4}=\dfrac{60}{4}\\\\s=15\ in

Put it to the formula of an area of a square:

A=15^2=225\ in^2

I serve a volleyball at a 730 angle with the horizontal, and an initial speed of 5.6 feet per second. What is the component form
noname [10]
You would split out the velocity into x and y components.
X component: 5.6cos(73)= 1.637i
Y component: 5.6sin(73)= 5.355j

Therefore velocity in its component form is 1.637i + 5.355j ft/s

Valentin [98]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

first, there are three 5's on the spinner, with a total of 12 sections. 3/12 = 0.25, so you multiply 0.25 times 300 (the total spins) and get 75

Which pair of angles are corresponding angles?
Effectus [21]

Corresponding angles are angles that are the same, and occupy the same relative position.

1 and 2: Incorrect - These are supplementary angles

3 and 5: Incorrect - These are same-side interior angles

2 and 6: Correct - These are corresponding angles

4 and 7: Incorrect - These are alternate interior angles

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the difference between correlation and dependencies?
zheka24 [161]

Dependency: A variable whose value depends on the value assigned to another variable (independent variable).

Correlation: The relationship between two or more variables is considered as correlation. 

 In statistics, when we talk about dependency, we are referring to any statistical relationship between two random variables or two sets of data. Correlation, on the other hand refers to any of a broad class of statistical relationships involving dependence.
