1. The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle, is:
 
 A=LxW
 
 A is the area of the rectangle
 L is the length of the rectangle.
 W is the widht of the rectangle

2. You have that:
 
 -The<span> rectangular Corn Hole area has a width of 5 feet and a length of 10 feet, so:
 
 L1=10 feet
 W1=5 feet
 
 - When</span> a uniform amount is added to each side (x), the area is increased to 84 feet². Then, you have a different length (L2) and a different width (W2):
 
 3. The new length is:<span> 
 
 L2=L1+x+x
 L2=L1+2x
 L2=10+2x
 
 4. The new width is:
 
 W2=W1+x+x
 W2=W1+2x
 W2=5+2x
 
 5. The new area is:
 
 A2=84 feet</span>²<span>
 
 6. Then, you have:
 
 A=LxW
 84</span>=(10+2x)(<span>5+2x)
 
 7. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain a quadratic equation:
 
 4x</span>²+30x-34=0
<span> 
 8. You can solve with by applyin the quadratic formula: 
 
 x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
 
 a=4
 b=30
 c=-34
 
 9. Then, the answer is:
 
 x=1 feet

Answer:

I can't believe this guy above me has a verified answer and it is wrong.... anyway the true answer to this is 2. I checked it myself when I put 1 as the answer and got this question wrong, and it showed me the correct answer is 2 so don't believe the verified answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Review Question #7:

The answer to this question is 2ft, not 1ft.

This is because:

So the width of the second rectangle can be represented by 10+2x, and the length of the second rectangle can be represented by 5+2x. Lets make 2x equal y to make things easier though. Because the product of both 10+2x and 5+2x is 84 square feet, we must multiply the two equations together first.

(10+y)(5+y)=84

This then equals:

50+10y+5y+y^2=84

Then add the like terms:

y^2+15y+50=84

Then set the equation to zero by subtracting 84 from both sides:

y^2+15y-34=0

From that, you can use the box method, or any method to get:

(y+17)=0 and (y-2)=0

Which would then simplify to:

y=-17 and y=2

However, we substituted y for 2x, so plug 2x into y:

2x=-17 and 2x=2

Then simplify from here:

x=-17/2 and x=1

The answer cannot be negative, so that means the answer is x=1, however, even though this is true, the answer is that 2ft was added to EACH SIDE, because the question was asking for what amount was added to each side.

For which value of theta is cot (theta) undefined?
sattari [20]

The cotangent function is defined as the ratio between cosine and sine of a given angle, i.e.


\cot(x) = \frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}


Since you can't have zero at the denominator, the cotangent function is not defined when the sine is zero.


Let's look at your option:


\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(180^\circ) = 0, so the cotangent is not defined here


\sin(270^\circ) = -1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(450^\circ) = \sin(360^\circ+90^\circ)=\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here

The playing life of a Sunshine radio is normally distributed with mean LaTeX: \muμ = 600 hours and standard deviation LaTeX: \si
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability that a radio selected at random will last from 600 to 700 hours is 0.3413

Step-by-step explanation:

The playing life of a Sunshine radio is normally distributed

Mean =\mu = 600 hours

Standard deviation =\sigma = 100 hours

We are supposed to find the probability that a radio selected at random will last from 600 to 700 hours i.e.P(600<x<700)

Formula:Z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

At x = 600

Z= \frac{600-600}{100}

Z=0

P(X

At x = 700

Z= \frac{700-600}{100}

Z=1

P(X

P(600

Hence the probability that a radio selected at random will last from 600 to 700 hours is 0.3413

2 find the probability of getting a sum 9 when two dice are thrown simultaneously.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The answer is 11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out what all of the possible combinations of the two dice being thrown then divide it by the number of faces on both dice and you get your probability.
