Answer:

The length of side BC is 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle: P=76 units

AB=4z

BC=3z+3=?

We need to determine z

The formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P=2(w+l)

Width: w=AB=4z

Length: l=BC=3z+3

Replacing in the formula:

76 = 2 [4z+(3z+3)]

Eliminating the parentheses:

76 = 2 [4z+3z+3]

Adding like terms:

76 = 2 (7z+3)

Solving for z: Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

76 / 2 = 2 (7z+3) / 2

38 = 7z+3

Subtracting 3 both sides of the equation:

38-3 = 7z+3-3

Subtracting:

35 = 7z

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7:

35 / 7 = 7z / 7

Dividing:

5 = z

z = 5

Then:

BC=3z+3

Replacing z by 5 in the formula above:

BC = 3(5)+3

Multiplying:

BC = 15 + 3

Adding:

BC = 18 units

Stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental design that this question uses is the stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

A stratified design is one where the population has been divided into strata that are homogeneous. A good number of participants would then be picked for each of the stratum. The homogeneous strata are also known as the blocks and here in this question we have color of paper as the block here.

The students are of different school levels, elementary, high school and middle school. Each of these levels have 100 students. The students in each levels are halved and each half is randomly assigned information on either a white paper or a blue paper.
