Answer:

Length of original rectangle: 11 units.

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the original rectangle.  

We have been given that a rectangle has a length 6 more than it's width. S the length of the original rectangle would be x+6.

We have been given that when the width is decreased by 2 and the length decreased by 4 the resulting has an area of 21 square units.

The width of new rectangle would be x-2.

The length of new rectangle would be x+6-4=x+2.

The area of new rectangle would be (x+2)(x-2).

Now we will equate area of new rectangle with 21 and solve for x as:

(x+2)(x-2)=21

Applying difference of squares, we will get:

x^2-2^2=21

x^2-4=21

x^2-4+4=21+4

x^2=25

Since width cannot be negative, so we will take positive square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{25}

x=5

Therefore, the width of original rectangle is 5 units.

Length of the original rectangle would be x+6\Rightarrow x+5=11.

Therefore, the length of original rectangle is 11 units.

\text{Area of original rectangle}=5\times 11

\text{Area of original rectangle}=55    

Therefore, area of the original rectangle is 55 square units.

Now we will find ratio of the original rectangle area to the new rectangle area as:

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

We know that perimeter of rectangle is two times the sum of length and width.

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((x+2)+(x-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((5+2)+(5-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(7+3)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(10)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Therefore, the perimeter of the new rectangle is 20 units.

NASA is conducting an experiment to find out the fraction of people who black out at G forces greater than 6. Step 1 of 2 : Supp
Andru [333]

Answer:

The estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs is 0.279.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs.

Number of people who passed out divided by the size of the sample.

We have that:

Sample of 502 people, 140 passed out at G forces greater than 6. So the estimate is:

p = \frac{140}{502} = 0.279

The estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs is 0.279.
