First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate

x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106

2x=106
divide by 2
x=53

sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13

the numbers are 53 and 13

•Rectangular prism - Multiply the measurement of the length times the width, then times the height

•Cube - Since all sides are the same measurement, it would be the measurement of any side, or edge, cubed, or a³

•Prism - Find the area of the base, then multiply the area times the height of the prism. Area would be length times width (B), or B x h

•Triangular prism - Find the area of the base (b), then multiply the area times the length (l) between the triangular bases. Area of the base would be ½ times the base times the height (h) of the triangle, or ½bhl

•Cylinder - Find the area of the circular face using pi times the radius squared, then multiply that area times the height of the cylinder, so πr²h

•Pyramid - Find the area of the base and multiply that area times the height of the pyramid and multiply by 1/3, or 1/3Bh

•Square pyramid - Find the area of the base and multiply that area times the height of the pyramid and multiply by 1/3, or 1/3s²h

•Rectangular pyramid - Find the area of the base and multiply that area times the height of the pyramid and multiply by 1/3, or 1/3 lwh

•Sphere - For a sphere, multiply 4/3 times pi, then time the radius cubed, or 4/3 πr³

Answer:

(0.6430, 0.8170)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that during a recent drought a water utility in a certain town sampled 100 residential water bills and found out that 73 of the residences had reduced their water consumption over that of the previous year.

Sample size n = 100

Sample proportion p = $\frac{73}{100} =0.73$
