Answer:

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangle is 15 cm wide then the total width is 30.

So we can subtract 30 from 70,

=40

If the length is increased by 2 then there is 4 more cm added to the total length.

We can do, 40-4

=38

If 38 is the total length we do 38 ÷ 2

=14

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>The original length was 14 cm.</em>

Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to solve this

Let's start by naming the original length before the increase x.

New length is x+2.

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is 2L+2W=P

Plug known values in

2(x+2)+2(15)=70

Simplify

2x+4+30=70

2x+34=70

2x=36

x=18

The original length is 18cm.

A circle is centered at the origin and contains the point (-6, -8). What is the area of this circle?​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

314 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Centre of the circle = (0, 0)

Another point on the circle = (-6, -8)

\text {Radius = }\sqrt{(0 - (-6))^2 + (0- (-8))^2}

\text {Radius = }\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}

\text {Radius = }\sqrt{100}

\text {Radius = }10

Area = π (10)² = 100π = 314 units²

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy has 42 inches piece of wood.

She has to cut an inch.

After cutting pieces of inch each she counts the pieces to be 42.

Fifty-five percent of the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses. Of the team memebers who do not wear glasses, 30
GarryVolchara [31]

the probability that a randomly chosen member of the JV swim team does not wear glasses and is in the 10th grade is 14%.

Given, the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses is 55%.

And the members of junior varsity swim team who do not wear glasses and in 10th grade is 30%.

Let the total no. of members be x.

So, the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses (55%),will be

0.55x.

The total number of members not wearing glasses, will be

x - 0.55 x = 0.45 x.

Now, the no. of members not wearing glasses and in 10th grade will be,

\frac{0.45x\times30}{100} =0.135x

We know that the probability of an event E, P(E) will be,

P(E)=\frac{No.\ of Favourable\ outcomes}{total \ no. \ of \ outcomes}

So, the probability for no. of members not wearing glasses and in 10th grade will be,

P(E)=\dfrac{0.135x}{x}

P(E)=0.135\\\\P(E)=13.5 \%

Hence the nearest whole percent of probability is 14%.
