Perimeter of rectangle = length + length + width + width

To find the combinations, think of two numbers that each multiplied by 2 and added up to give 12 or 14

Rectangle with perimeter 12

Say we take length = 2 and width = 3
Multiply the length by 2 = 2 × 2 = 4
Multiply the width by 3 = 2 × 3 = 6
Then add the answers = 4 + 6 = 10
This doesn't give us perimeter of 12 so we can't have the combination of length = 2 and width = 3

Take length = 4 and width = 2
Perimeter = 4+4+2+2 = 12
This is the first combination we can have

Take length = 5 and width = 1
Perimeter = 5+5+1+1 = 12
This is the second combination we can have

The question doesn't specify whether or not we are limited to use only integers, but if it is, we can only have two combinations of length and width that give perimeter of 12

length = 4 and width = 2
length = 5 and width = 1

Rectangle with perimeter of 14

Length = 4 and width = 3
Perimeter = 4+4+3+3 = 14

Length = 5 and width = 2
Perimeter = 5+5+2+2 = 14

Length = 6 and width = 1
Perimeter = 6+6+1+1 = 14

We can have 3 different combinations of length and width

A dragonfly can beat its wings 30 times a second. write an equation in slioe intercept form that shows the relationship between

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is the tragon fly beat his wings 30 times a second ,there is 60 hundredths of a second in a second multiply 30 x 60 and you should get 1800.

mulitiply 0x0 = 0

2. mulitiply 6x0=0

3. multiply 3x0=0

4. mulitiply 6x3 = 18

5. have 1800

or you can just multiply 6x3 = 18 and add the two zeros

On Tuesday the temperature is 1 ºC. By Wednesday it has dropped to –2 ºC. The temperature drops by twice as much from Wednesday

Finger [1]

Answer: $-8^{\circ}C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature on Tuesday is $1^{\circ}C$

Temperature drops to $-2^{\circ}C$ on Wednesday

Net drop in temperature $1-(-2)=3^{\circ}C$

The temperature drops twice from Wednesday to Thursday

$\Delta T=2\times 3=6^{\circ}C$

Temperature on Thursday

$\Rightarrow -2-6=-8^{\circ}C$

For 300 trading days, the daily closing price of a stock (in $) is well modeled by a Normal model with mean $196.99 and stand

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 2.5% b) 84% c) 95% d) D. The more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a) b) and c) we will use the empirical rule, so, we can observe the image shown below

a) 211.23 is exactly two standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability that on a randomly selected day in this period the stock price closed above 211.23 is 2.35% + 0.15% = 2.5%

b) 204.11 represents exactly one standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability of being below 204.11 is 50% + 34% = 84%

c) The probability of getting a value between 182.75 and 211.23 is 95%, this because 182.75 is exactly two standard deviations below the mean and 211.23 is exactly two standard deviations above the mean.

d) The z-score related to 208 is $z_{1}$ = (208-196.99)/7.12 = 1.5 and the z-score related to 185 is $z_{2}$ = (185-196.99)/7.12 = -1.7, therefore, the more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.
