The length of a rectangle is three times the width. the parameter is 240 inches. find the length and width​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

Answer:

L = 90 inches

W = 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the length of a rectangle L is three times the width

That’s

L = 3w

And perimeter = 240 inches

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(L + W)

L = 3w

We now have two equations

Now substitute 3w for L in The above formula and 240 for P.

We have

240 = 2(3w + w)

Distribute 2 into (3w + w)

240 = 2 x 3w + 2 x w

240 = 6w + 2w

240 = 8w

Divide both sides by 8

240/8 = 8w/8

30 = w

W = 30inches

Now substitute 30 for w into either of the above equations to get L .

Using

L = 3w

L = 3 x 30

L = 90 inches

L = 90 inches and

W = 30 inches

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower, and a sample of 800 such sunflower seeds is randomly select
ollegr [7]

Answer:

12.08

Step-by-step explanation:

For each sunflower, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it germinates, or it does not. The probability of a sunflower germinating is independent of other sunflowers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower

This means that p = 0.76

Samples of 800:

This means that n = 800

The standard deviation for the number of sunflower seeds that will germinate in such samples of size 800 is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.76*0.24} = 12.08

Answer:

14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the task 3x

The older bro does twice as younger so it would be 2x long and younger brother work x long

Since the totsl of work is 3x = 21 x woul be 21÷3 = 7

the older brother must work 2 × 7 = 14 hours long
