The definition of a square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles. The definition of a rectangle is a plane figure with four right sides and four right angles. To be a rectangle you just need four straight sides and four right angles, but to be a square all those sides have to be equal. Therefore, a square is a rectangle because it has four straight sides and four right angles, but a rectangle isn't a square (or not always) because it doesn't have four equal straight sides.

Beacuse  <span>A square by definition is a "plane figure having four equal sides." Rectangles' sides are not equal and hence cannot be a square. 

A rectangle by definition is a "four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles" - which also implies that a square can be a rectangle because it is also a four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles...... hope this helps</span>

A sample of men's heights was taken and the mean was 68.8 inches. The standard deviation is 2.8 inches. What percent of the men
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

87.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean= 68.8 inches

           Standard deviation= 2.8 inches

           

Now, finding the percent of the men in the sample were greater than 72 inches.

We know, z-score= \frac{x-mean}{standard\ deviation}

z-score= \frac{72-68.8}{2.8}

⇒ z-score= \frac{3.2}{2.8} = 1.14

∴ z-score= 1.14

Next, using normal distribution table to find percentage.

Coverting 0.8729 into percentage= 0.8729\times 100

We get the percentage as 87.29%

Hence, 87.29% of the men in the sample were greater than 72 inches.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

46 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁=b, a₂₁= bₙ, d₁=9, d₂=4

n=?

---------------

a₂₁= a₁+20d₁= a₁+20*9= a₁+180

bₙ= b₁+(n-1)d₂= a₁+4(n-1)

a₁+4(n-1)=a₁+180

4(n-1)=180

n-1= 180/4

n-1= 45

n=46
