A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 23.2 pounds and

erica [24]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means would be 0.8186.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean of population=23.2 pounds

Standard deviation of population=6.6 pounds

n=65

We have to find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.

We know that standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means

= $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Using the formula

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means

= $\frac{6.6}{\sqrt{65}}$

$=0.8186$

Hence, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means would be 0.8186.

on a scale drawing, 5 metres is represented by 4 centimetres. write the scale as a ratio in it's simplest form.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The scale factor is 1:125

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaling

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which consists of multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

On a scale drawing, a distance of 5 meters = 500 cm is represented by 4 centimeters. The scale factor is usually represented as a ratio of the smallest to the biggest magnitude:

$\frac{4}{500}=\frac{1}{125}$
