The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 198 square feet Its length is 4 feet longer than twice its width

1 answer:

5 0

L=2W+4 L is the length and W is the width.
W(2W+4)=198

2W^2+4W-198=0

2(W^2+2W-99)=0

2(W+11)(W-9)=0

W-9=0

W=9 feet is the width.

L=2*9+4=18+4=22 and is the length.

Proof:

9*22=198

198=198 -Jerry

Answer:

135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is 180 degrees and because the triangle has a 90 degree and an 45, it would add up to 135 and 180 minus 135 is 45.

What is the means-to-MAD ratio of the two data sets, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth? Data Set 1: {85, 83, 90, 70, 8

RoseWind [281]

Here is what I got for the first one. MAD= 1/(N)*(|x1-xm|+|x2-xm|+..+|xN-xm|) =1/5(|85-83|+|83-83|+|87-83|+|90-83|+|70-83|) =1/5(2+0+4+7+13)) =5.2 And for the second one I got, MAD= 1/(N)*(|x1-xm|+|x2-xm|+..+|xN-xm|) =1/5(|75-76|+|74-76|+|68-76|+|83-76|+|80-76|) =1/5(1+2+8+7+4)) =4.4

If the world's population increased exponentially from 5.937 billion in 1998 to 7.238 billion in 2014 and continued to increase

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The world's population in 2015 would have been 7.333 billion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the increase in population is an exponential one. It then follows a geometric progression defined by, $T_{n}$ = $ar^{n - 1}$

Where $T_{n}$ is the nth term, a is the 1st term, r is the common ratio.

Therefore, the population in 1998 is the first term a = 5.937 billion. The population in 2014 corresponds to the 17th term (i.e., n = 17) = 7.238 billion.
