Answer:

4.) 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve the area of a square using the following equation:

Area of a square = <em>s</em>²

Plug in 144 for Area of a square:

144 = s²

Isolate the variable, s. Root both sides of the equation.

√144 = √s²

s = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

4.) 12ft is your answer.

Answer:

4.) 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s is the side and A is the area

If A = 144

144 = s²

(12)² and (-12)² both equal 144, but you cannot have a negative distance

Therefore, the answer is 12 ft

Suppose the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.80. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in weight

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 64% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, Correlation coefficient is denoted by 'r' is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables.
Coefficient of determination, $r^2$ , is a measure of variability in one variable can be explained variation in the other.

Here, r= 0.80

$\Rightarrow\ r^2= (0.80)^2=0.64$

That means 64% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height.

Of the 1,640 students enrolled at a school, 50% come to school by bus, 35% come by car, and the rest of the students walk home.

ehidna [41]

So first we need to find what percent of the students walk to school.

50 + 35 = 85% don't walk leaving only 15% that walk to school,

To find the 15% percent that DO walk we multiply .15 by the total number of people.

.15 x 1640 = 246 people walk to school
