Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of​ metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of​ metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in

The volume of the box is equal to

V=(x-10)(y-10)5

V=930\ in^3

so

930=(x-10)(y-10)5

simplify

186=(x-10)(y-10) -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

so

x=y+25 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

186=(y+25-10)(y-10)

solve for y

186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

x=16+25=41

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Prove that: 16sin20.sin40.sin60.sin80=3​
olga nikolaevna [1]

to prove that 6720. Sin 40. Sin 60. 80 equals 3 you'd have to divide 16 by 20 multiply subtract both sides by 3 which is 24x + 6x + 8x + -14 equals 40 40 + 20 equals 16 - -40 equals 80 which equals to 3

4. The data shows the number of siblings each student in a 9th-grade class has.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is Mean and standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set provided, arranged in ascending order is:

S = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 4}

Now, it is provided that Macy was absent when the data was collected and the class guessed she had 4 siblings. When  she returned, they found out she actually has 9 siblings.

So, the new data set is:

X = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 9}

The mean of a data set is the average value representing the entire data.

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum X_{i}

The median is the middle value of the data set.

The inter-quartile range is the difference between the first and the third quartile.

The standard deviation is the value that represents how dispersed the data values are.

SD=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X_{i}-\bar X)^{2}}

From all the above statistic, the mean and standard deviation are the only ones that uses all the observations in the data set to compute their value.

So, on changing one of the 4s by a 9, the set of measures that will be affected are the mean and standard deviation.

Thus, the correct option is Mean and standard deviation.
