The perimeter of the rectangle below is 76

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

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

Answer: NO.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the 95% confidence interval indicates that the researcher can be 95% sure that the true value of population mean falls in it.

Given : A company is interested in estimating the costs of lunch in their cafeteria.

After surveying​ employees, the staff calculated that a​ 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of money spent for lunch over a period of six months is ​($720​, ​$900​).

Then, the correct interpretation would be : The company can be 95% sure that the true value of population mean falls in it.

A survey was taken of children between the ages of 3 and 7. Let A be the event that the person has 2 siblings, and let B be the
olganol [36]

Answer: Fourth option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A be the event that the person has 2 siblings.

B be the event that the person does not have a pet.

Since they are not independent events.

Because if P(A|B) = 0.18

in case if they are independent events then, P(A|B) = P(A).

But here P(A) = 0.4

So, they are not independent events.

Hence, Fourth option is correct.
