Area =72 sq. cm

length = x+6

Width = x

l×b = Area
(x+6)x =72
x2 +6x=72
x2+6x-72=0
x2+12x-6x-72=0
x (x+12) -6 (x+12)=0
(x+12) ( x-6) =0
x=-12, x=6

since width can't be negative , the answer is x=6.

therefore, the width is 6cm

The moon is a sphere with radius of 959 km. Determine an equation for the ellipse if the distance of the satellite from the surf

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.

The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2} =1 \\\\where\ a>b$

Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:

b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km

a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1$

A bandleader randomly select's two students out of 100 bandmembers if you and your brother are both bandmembers what is the prob

kherson [118]

<span>There are 100 * 99 = 9900 different ways to choose two students out of 100 bandmembers. You and our brother are 2 of that ways: you being selected first and you being selected second. Therefore the probability that you two are selected is 2 / 9900 = 0,000202. You can also think as the probability of you being selected among 100 bandmembers, which is 1/100, times the probability of your brother being selected among 99 members, which is 1/99 => (1/100) * (1/99) = 1/ (100*99) = 1 / 9900; plus the same for your brother being selected first and you second => [1/9900] * 2 = 2/9900, which is the same calculated above.</span>
