the area of a rectangle is 90 in2^. the ratio of the length to the width is 5:2. find the length and the width

-BARSIC- [3]

Length and width of rectangle is 15 inches and 6 inches respectively

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that area of a rectangle is 90 square inch

Ratio of length to the width = 5: 2.

Need to determine length and width of rectangle.

As ratio of length to the width is 5 : 2

Lets assume length of rectangle = 5x inches and width of rectangle = 2x inches.

<em><u>The formula for area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

$\text { Area of rectangle }=\text { length of rectangle } \times \text { width of rectangle}$

Substituting the given value of area of rectangle and assumed value of length and width of rectangle we get:

$\begin{array}{l}{90=5 x \times 2 x} \\\\ {=>90=10 x^{2}}\end{array}$

On solving the above expression for x we get

$\begin{array}{l}{=>\frac{90}{10}=x^{2}} \\\\ {=>x^{2}=9} \\\\ {=>x=\sqrt{9}=3}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length of rectangle }=5 \times x=5 \times 3=15 \text { inches }} \\\\ {\text { Width of rectangle }=2 \times} x=2 \times} 3=6 \text { inches }}\end{array}$

Hence length and width of rectangle is 15 inches and 6 inches.

From a box containing 10 cards numbered 1 to 10, four cards are drawn together. The probability that their sum is even is 21 21

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that between 1 to 10 there are 5 even and 5 odd numbers.

We could get 4 even cards , 4 odd cards or 2 odd and 2 even cards

Let´s check all this combinations

Case 1: When all 4 numbers are even:

We are going to take 4 of the 5 even numbers in the box so we have

$5C4=5$

Case 2: When all 4 numbers are odd:

We are going to take 4 of the 5 odd numbers in the box, so we have

$5C4=5$

Case 3: When 2 are even and 2 are odd:

We are giong to take 2 from 5 even and odd cards in the box so we have

$5C2 * 5C2$

Remember that we obtain the probability from

$\frac{Number-of-favourable-Outcome}{Total-number-of-outcomes}$

So we have the number of favourable outcomes but we need the Total cases for drawing four cards, so we have that:

We are taking 4 of the 10 cards:

$10C_4=210$

Hence we have that the probability that their sum is even

$\frac{5+5+100}{210}=\frac{11}{21}$

The lines graphed below show the amounts of water in two tanks as they

maria [59]

Answer:

Tank B

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables with equivalent ratios. For a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. A line is a proportional relationship if it starts from the origin, but if it does not start from the origin, it is not proportional.

From the two tanks, we can see that tank A have a y intercept whereas tank B starts from the origin. Therefore tank B shows a proportional relationship.
