Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.

(x+9)(x+2)*4

becomes:

(x^2+11x+18)*4

= 4x^2 + 44x + 72


anyway, this is how I would do this problem:

(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912

(x+9)(x+2) = 228

x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228

x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0

(x+21)(x-10) = 0

x = -21 or 10

The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10

The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4

or 19, 12, 4

According to an​ airline, flights on a certain route are on time 80 ​% of the time. suppose 10 flights are randomly selected and
natulia [17]
<span>(a) This is a binomial experiment since there are only two possible results for each data point: a flight is either on time (p = 80% = 0.8) or late (q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2).
​(b) Using the formula:</span><span>
P(r out of n) = (nCr)(p^r)(q^(n-r)), where n = 10 flights, r = the number of flights that arrive on time:
P(7/10) = (10C7)(0.8)^7 (0.2)^(10 - 7) = 0.2013
Therefore, there is a 0.2013 chance that exactly 7 of 10 flights will arrive on time.
​(c) Fewer than 7 flights are on time means that we must add up the probabilities for P(0/10) up to P(6/10).
Following the same formula (this can be done using a summation on a calculator, or using Excel, to make things faster):
P(0/10) + P(1/10) + ... + P(6/10) = 0.1209
This means that there is a 0.1209 chance that less than 7 flights will be on time.
​(d) The probability that at least 7 flights are on time is the exact opposite of part (c), where less than 7 flights are on time. So instead of calculating each formula from scratch, we can simply subtract the answer in part (c) from 1.
1 - 0.1209 = 0.8791.
So there is a 0.8791 chance that at least 7 flights arrive on time.
(e) For this, we must add up P(5/10) + P(6/10) + P(7/10), which gives us
0.0264 + 0.0881 + 0.2013 = 0.3158, so the probability that between 5 to 7 flights arrive on time is 0.3158.

Ray MN and ML are two sides of an angle. What is a name of this angle?
Airida [17]
LMN, NML or Angle M. Depends on context for all of these. They all work though.

In this unit, you studied a handful of circle theorems. Research to find a circle theorem that wasn’t presented in this unit and
devlian [24]

The angle at the center of the circle is twice the angle at the circumference.

<h3>What is Circle Theorem?</h3>

The angle in a semicircle is a right angle. Angles that are in the same segment are equal.

As by theorem,

angle in a semicircle is a right angle. Angles that are in the same segment are equal.

Also, opposite angle in a cyclic quadrilateral sums to 180° and the angle between the chord and  tangent is also equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
