Answer:

The answer is the option D

$12\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2L+2W$

where

L is the length side of the rectangle

W is the width side of the rectangle

In this problem we have

$P=70\ in$

so

$70=2L+2W$ ------> equation A

$L=W+11$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for W

$70=2[W+11]+2W$

$70=2W+22+2W$

$4W=70-22$

$W=48/4$

$W=12\ in$

perimeter = 2L +2w

L = w+11

70 = 2(w+11) +2w

70 = 2w+22+2w

70= 4w + 22

48 = 4w

w=48/4 = 12

width = 12

length = 12+11 = 23

2x12 = 24

2x23 = 46

46+24 = 40

length = 23 inches, width = 12 inches

Answer is D

Answer:

x = √30

Step-by-step explanation:

From small triangle BDC:

using Pythagorean theorem

CB² = BD² + DC²

x² = BD² + 3²

Fron triangles BDC and ADB.

ΔBDC has long leg BD and short leg DC.

ΔADB has long leg AD and shirt leg BD.

AD : BD = BD : DC

7 : BD = BD : 3

7*3 = BD*BD

BD² = 7*3 = 21

x² = BD² + 3² = 21+9 = 30

x² = 30

x = √30

An organic farm has been growing an heirloom variety of summer squash. A sample of the weights of 40 summer squash revealed that

natta225 [31]

Answer:

b. 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=40

Mean, $\mu=402.7 g$

Standard deviation, $\sigma=8.8$ g

We have to find the probability hat the mean weight for a sample of 40 summer squash exceeds 405.5 grams.

$P(x>405.5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\frac{405.5-402.7}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})$

$P(x>405.5)=P(Z>\frac{2.8}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})$

$P(x>405.5)=P(Z>2.01)$

$P(x>405.5)=1-P(Z\leq 2.01)$

$P(x>405.5)=1-0.977784$

$P(x>405.5)=0.022216$

Hence, option b is correct.

For the graphed function f(x) = (2)x + 2 + 1, calculate the average rate of change from x = −1 to x = 0. a graph of an exponenti

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

2 is the average rate of change of the function $f(x)=2^{x+2}+1$ from $x=-1$ to $x=0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you meant $f(x)=2^{x+2}+1$ based off the points.

We are given that $(-1,3)$ and $(0,5)$ are points on this curve.

We are asked to find the average rate of change (the slope) from $x=-1$ to $x=0$ .

We have the two points needed to find the slope.

We just need to line them up and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference on top of 1st difference.

$(-1,3)$

$(0,5)$

--------------------Subtracting!

$-1,-2$

So the slope is $\frac{-2}{-1}=2$ .
