you have 160 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular region. find the maximum area of the rectangular region

2 answers:

7 0

Maximum area given perimeter is that of a square.

A square has four equal sides so you would have to divide 160 by 4 to get the length of each side.

160÷4=40

Now to find the area you use the formula A=lw.

A=40x40
A=1600

Therefore the maximum area of a rectangular region if you have 160 yards of fencing is 1600 yards²

The maximum area of a rectangle when given perimeter is simply perimeter/sides.
To get the maximum area, simply divide 160 (perimeter) by 4 (sides in a rectangle) and then square the result:
160/4 = 40
40 x 40 = 1600
The maximum area, when the sides are all of the same length, is 1600 square yards.
Hope this helps!

Determine whether the events are independent (I) or dependent (D). Place your answer in the blank provided. 1. Ramiro draws a ma

Stels [109]

Answer:

Independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ramiro draws a marble from a jar without replacement and then flips a coin

Let $E_1$ be the event that Ramiro draws a marble without replacement and;

Let $E_2$ be the event of flipping a coin.

Let's have an analogy so that we can better understand the concept of independent and dependent events.

Consider a random experiment in which a marble is drawn from a jar without replacement and a fair coin is flipped together.

The event $E_1$ does not in any way affect the event $E_2$ of a head or a tail showing up in a flip of a coin.

Therefore, we say that $E_1$ and $E_2$ are independent events.

Suppose the event $E_1$ affects or influence the event $E_2$ , then we can say they are dependent events.

What is the volume of the composite figure? (Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for x.)

marshall27 [118]

The volume of the composite figure is the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The composite figure consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top.

We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.1415.

The radius is 4 cm and the height is 15 cm.

The volume of the cone :

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{3} (3.1415)(4^{2} )(15) = 251.32$ cubic cm.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere.

The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying $\frac{4}{3}$ with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 4 cm. We take π as 3.1415.

The volume of a full sphere $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} (3.1415) (4^{3}) = 268.07$ cubic cm.

The volume of the half-sphere $=\frac{1}{2} (268.07) = 134.037$ cubic cm.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume $251.32+134.037 = 385.357$ cub cm. This is closest to the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

You earn three dollars an hour as a waitress after working three hours you earn 12 five and seven dollars in tips how much money

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The waitress earned a total of 33 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total earnings from wages;

Total earnings from wages=Earnings per hour×number of hours worked

where;

Earnings per hour=3 dollars an hour

Number of hours worked=3 hours

replacing;

Total earnings from wages=(3×3)=9 dollars

Step 2: Determine total earnings from tips

Total earnings from tips=(12+5+7)=24 dollars

Step 3: Calculate total money earned

Total money earned=Total earnings from tips+total earnings from wages

where;

Total earnings from tips=24 dollars

Total earnings from wages=9 dollars

replacing;

Total money earned=(9+24)=33 dollars

The waitress earned a total of 33 dollars

Tammy has 35 coins nickels and quarters. In all she has $4.15. How many of each kind of coin does she have

sergey [27]

The currency called the U.S dollar can be split into smaller forms or currency value of itself. Examples of these smaller forms are: dimes, nickels, pennies, and quarters.

Tammy has 23 nickels and 12 quarters.

Let's represent the number of:

Nickels = n

Quarters = q

It is important to note that the value of:

1 nickel = $0.05

1 quarter = $0.25

Tammy has 35 coins nickels and quarters. This statement can be represented using an algebraic equation below:

n + q = 35

This can be rewritten as :

n = 35 - q

In all, she has $4.15. This statement can be represented using an algebraic equation below:

0.05n + 0.25q = 4.15

We substitute 35 - q for n in the above equation.

0.05(35 - q) + 0.25q = 4.15

1.75 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 4.15

Collect like terms

- 0.05q + 0.25q = 4.15 - 1.75

0.2q = 2.4

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2q/0.2 = 2.4/0.2

q = 12

Therefore, the number of quarters Tammy has is 12.

Solving for the number of nickels, we have the equation:

n = 35 - q

n = 35 - 12

n = 23

Therefore, the number of nickels Tammy has is 23.
