The area for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
<em>P = 2l + 2w</em>
In this problem, we are given that P = 155 and l = 45.5. To solve for area, we must find w. To do this, plug in the given info and isolate the w like so:
155=2(45.5)+2w \\ 155=91+2w \\ (155)-91=(91+2w)-91 \\ 64=2w \\  \frac{64}{2} = \frac{2w}{2}  \\ w=32
Now we know w = 32. Knowing all the necessary info, we can use the area formula, <em>A=lw</em>, to solve for A.
A=(45.5)(35) \\ A=1,456

The area is 1,456 sq ft. 

Hope this helps!

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink  = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

In a recent survey, 18 people preferred milk, 29 people preferred coffee, and 13 people preferred juice as their primary drink for breakfast .

Total no of people is =  18 + 29 + 13 = 60

If a person is selected at random ,

The probability of person preferred milk = \frac{18}{60}

The probability of person preferred coffee = \frac{29}{60}

The probability of person preferred juice = \frac{13}{60}

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink =

P ( milk ) = \mathbf{\frac{No\;of\;favourable\;outcomes}{total\;no\;of\:outcomes}}

    =   \frac{18}{60}  =  0.3

32. The price of a box of tarts is $1 cheaper than that of a loaf of bread. If 3 times the price of a
Delvig [45]

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6
