Answer:

The perimeter of square is increasing by 3.76ft/min and then by 3.4 ft/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that area of square is increasing at a rate of 16 sq ft/min.

Given that final perimeter is 36ft

Perimeter of a square = 4 \times side = 36

So, side, a' = 9 ft

We know that area of a square is given by the formula:

A = side^2 = a^2 (If we let side = a units)

Change in area =

a'^2 - a^2\\\Rightarrow 9^2 - a^2 = 16\\\Rightarrow 81 - 16 = a^2\\\Rightarrow a = 8.06\ ft

So, side got changed from 8.06ft to 9 ft.

So, perimeter when side was 8.06 ft:

4 \times 8.06 = 32.24\ ft

Hence, increase in the perimeter when perimeter is 36 ft is = 36 - 32.24 = 3.76 ft

For finding Next increase:

area gets changed from 81 sq ft to 81+16 = 97 sq ft

So, new side = \sqrt{97} ft = 9.85 ft

Next increase in perimeter = 4 (New side - Old side)

= 4 (9.85 - 9)

= 3.4 ft/min

A vending machine has 5 colors (white, red, green, blue, and yellow) of gumballs and an equal chance of dispensing each.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer in fraction form = 1/20

Answer in decimal form = 0.05

Answer in percent form = 5%

These are three ways to express the same thing

=============================================================

Explanation:

Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.

The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.

Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20

Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.

BRIANILEST!!!!Which lines are parallel? Check all that apply.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

b║f

c║e

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a diagram,

Lines b, c, d, e, f and a transversal line 'a'.

Here line 'b' makes an angle with line 'a' is 89.5° and line 'f' makes an angle with line 'a' is also 89.5° (180°-90.5° = 89.5°)

Since corresponding angles are same.

So, line 'b' is parallel to line 'f'.

And line 'c' makes an angle with line 'a' is 91.5° and line 'e' makes an angle with line 'a' is also 91.5° (180°-88.5° = 91.5°)

Since corresponding angles are same.

So, line 'c' is parallel to line 'e'.

Therefore,

b║f

c║e

That's the final answer.
