Explain the difference between perimeter and area.why do they measure?what type of units are they measured in?

1 answer:

4 0

Perimeter is the distance around an object / shape. Area is the amount of space within a 2 dimensional surface. For example the perimeter of a square would be the lengths of each side added together while the area would be how much space inside of it that it occupies. Area is measured in units squared, while perimeter is left in just units. In other words if the unit ( measurements ) are conducted in cm, then the area would be put in cm^2. The perimeter would just remain in cm.

A hat contains pieces of paper marked with the numbers 1 through 16. Tell whether picking an even number is impossible, unlikely

Anna [14]

Answer:

Picking an even number is an as likely event and it's probability is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the numbers present are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

The odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15

The even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16

There are 8 even numbers and 8 odd numbers.

And also if we pick a number it should be either an even number or an odd number.

Probability(Getting an even number) = $\frac{even number}{even number+oddnumber}$

Probability = $\frac{8}{8+8}$ = 1/2

Therefore picking an even number is an as likely event and it's probability is 1/2

You are wakeboarding on a river. You travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to

Zielflug [23.3K]

Let x represent the speed of of boat.

We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.

The speed of boat upstream will be $x-3$ .

The speed of boat downstream would be $x+3$ .

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{x+3}+\frac{3}{x-3}$

Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute $x=18$ in above equation and solve for time.

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{18+3}+\frac{3}{18-3}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{3}{15}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{1}{5}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2\cdot 5}{21\cdot 5}+\frac{1\cdot 21}{5\cdot 21}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{10}{105}+\frac{21}{105}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{31}{105}$

$\text{Time}=0.295238095$

Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

$\text{Time}=0.295238095\times 60\text{ minutes}$

$\text{Time}=17.7142857\text{ minutes}$

Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.

$\text{Time}\approx 17.7\text{ minutes}$

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.
