A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft

Julia measured the high temperature in her town for one week. Using the chart below, find the mean absolute deviation for the hi
Alex
Finding the mean is you have to add it all up:
49+55+52+46+47+42+38= 328
The divide it by the amount of numbers so, 329/7= 47.
Subtract 47 from every number then, but even if you get a negative number you gotta keep it a positive so just ignore it if you get a negative answer when subtracting, once you do that you would add up those answers you got so;
2+8+5+1+0+5+9= 30
Then divide it again, 30/7
Which then you get the M.A.D which is 4.3, rounded to the nearest ten.

A park has a length to width ratio of 7:4 and the perimeter of the park is 880 meters. What are the length and width of the park
Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4

length = 7x

width = 4x

7x + 4x = 11x

length = 880

880 + 4x = 11x

880 = 11x - 4x

880 = 7x

\frac{880}{7}  = x

125.71 = x

width = 4x

= 4(125.71)

= 502.85

What is the common ratio of the geometic sequence whose second and forth terms are 6 and 54, respectively?
Luda [366]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term formula of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a r^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Using the second and fourth term, then

ar = 6 → (1)

ar³ = 54 → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ar^3}{ar} = \frac{54}{6} = 9

r² = 9 ⇒ r = \sqrt{9} = 3 → C
