Answer: a rectangle is a quadrilateral having opposing sides parallel and four right angles

Area of rectangle = length * width

Step-by-step explanation: Given Area of rectangle = 220 square foot

1 side of the fence = 220/4 = 55 feet

If 3 sides of the fence cost $3

Total cost for 3 sides of the fence = ( 55 + 55 + 55) * 3 = 165 * 3 = $495

Total cos for the 4th side = 55 * 13 = $715

It is more economical to construct the fence with materials that cost $3.

Find the exact value of cot 7pi/4 & sec13pi/6 including quadrant location
Gennadij [26K]
First we will convert those radian angles to degrees, since my mind works better with degrees.  Let's work one at a time.  First, \frac{7 \pi }{4} * \frac{180}{ \pi }=315.  If we start at the positive x-axis and measure out 315 we end up in the 4th quadrant with a reference angle of 45 with the positive x-axis.  The side across from the reference angle is -1, the side adjacent to the angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2.  The cotangent of this angle, then is 1/-1 which is -1.  As for the second one, converting radians to degrees gives us that \frac{13 \pi }{6} * \frac{180}{ \pi } =390.  Sweeping out that angle has us going around the origin more than once and ending up in the first quadrant with a reference angle of 30° with the positive x-axis.  The side across from the angle is 1, the side adjacent to the angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2.  Therefore, the secant  of that angle is 2/√3.

Mr. Douglas drove 2,482 miles. He spent 42.5 hours in the car driving. What was his average speed for the trip?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

I think you just divide the number of miles by the number of hours he spent driving.

2,482/42.5= 58.4

58mph

Police use a radar unit is used to measure speeds of cars on a freeway. The speeds are normally distributed with a mean of 90 km
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A. P(x≥100)=0.1587

B. P(x≤0)≈0

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Cause we know the distribution of the data, the method used to solve it is called "Normalization" and we need to have the Mean and the Standard deviation of the data. The method consist in the following equation

P(x≤a)=P( z=((x-μ)/σ) ≤ b=((a-μ)/σ) )

Considering <u>μ as the Mean</u> and <u>σ as the Standard deviation</u>. At first, we had a probability in the normal distribution with Mean=90 and STD=10 but <u>that kind of exercises is not meant to find that probability directly but by using this process</u>.

After we normalize the probability, now <u>we have a probability in a specific normal distribution that has Mean=0 and STD=1 and the difference with what we had before is that now we are able to use tools to find probabilities in a normal standard distribution</u>. My favorite of them is a chart that show the approximate values of a lot of probabilities (i attached it to this answer). I´m going to explain point A as an example:

We look for the probability that P(x≥100), but we don´t have an easy method to use there, so we normalize:

P(x≥100)=P( (x-μ)/σ ≥ (100-μ)/σ )

P(x≥100)=P( z ≥ (100-90)/10 )

P(x≥100)=P( z ≥ 1 )

And now we are able to use the chart, let me explain: First, the chart only works with P(z ≤ b), so we have to change it with properties of probabilities before using the table.

P(z≥1)=1-P(z≤1)

And finally we use the chart:

<u>the value of P(z≤1) is in the table, we look for the row with +1 and the column with the decimal part (in this case 0) and with coordinates (1,0) there´s the value</u>:

P(z≤1)=0.8413

But we need P(z≥1) so we use the previous equality

P(z≥1)=1-P(z≤1)

P(z≥1)=1-0.8413

P(z≥1)=0.1587

Because P(x≥100)=P(z≥1), our final answer is 0.1587

B. We use the same process to try to understand what the probability of P(x≤0) represents.

P(x≤0)=P(z≤ (0-90)/10)

P(x≤0)=P( z ≤ -9 )

But when we try to look for its value in the chart It isn´t even there, what could it mean?

<u>A normal distribution function is always increasing</u>, that means that "a≤b if and only if P(x≤a) ≤ P(x≤b)". so we conclude:

P(z≤-9) ≤ P(z≤-3) (The lowest probability in the chart)

P(z≤-9) ≤ 0.0013

P(z≤-9) is way lower than 0.0013 (they aren´t even close) but we know that probability is always positive,  and because of that:

P(x≤0)=P(z≤-9)≈0
