Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle is x meters

since the length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and 2, then the length is (x + 2) meters

Area of the rectangle is the product of the length and width of the rectangle, since the Area is 48 units from the question

Area = L * W

48 = (x + 2) * x

48 =  x ( x + 2)

48 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

using factorization method, we have

x² + 8x - 6x - 48 = 0

x ( x + 8) -6 ( x + 8) = 0

(x - 6) (x + 8) = 0

The product of any factor is Zero, then at least one of them must be Zero. Algebraically, if a.b = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 4   or

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

Since the lengths are positive, then only the positive value in the above solutions, so width is 4 meters and the length is 4 +2 = 6 meters.

Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing helmets. The company researchers have determined that the popu
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = head breadths of men that is considered for the helmets.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 6.1 and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 1.

To compute the probability of a normal distribution we first need to convert the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores using the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

It is provided that the helmets will be designed to fit all men except those with head breadths that are in the smallest 4.3% or largest 4.3%.

Compute the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X < x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.043

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = -1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\-1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1-(1.717\times 1)\\x=4.383\\x\approx4.4

Thus, the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

Compute the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X > x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z > z) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 1 - 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.957

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = 1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1+(1.717\times 1)\\x=7.817\\x\approx7.8

Thus, the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.
