Mathematics

Answer:

1.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the pathway across all its side be x. This means we are adding a length of 2x to both the length and breadth to 12+2x and 16+2x respectively.

The new area thus becomes:

(12+2x)(16+2x) = 285

24x + 32x + 192 + 4x^2 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 - 285 =0

4x^2 + 56x -93 = 0

4x^2 + 62x - 6x - 93 = 0

2x( 2x + 31) - 3(2x + 31) = 0

(2x - 3)(2x + 31) = 0

This means x = 3/2 or -31/2

Since length cannot be negative , we choose the first and neglect the second meaning our answer is 3/2 which is 1.5 meters

A kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches.What is the volume of a similar sink that is larger by a scale factor of 2
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

14400 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l, b and h are length, breadth and height of a cuboid respectively, then

V=l\times b\times h

If another cuboid is larger by a scale factor of k, then kl, kb and kh are length, breadth and height of new cuboid respectively.

V_1=kl\times kb\times kh

V_1=k^3(l\times b\times h)

V_1=k^3V       ...(i)

It is given that a kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches and a similar sink is larger by a scale factor of 2.

Substitute k=2 and V=1800 in equation (i).

V_1=2^3(1800)

V_1=14400

Therefore, the volume of required sink is 14400 cubic inches.

Question 1
8090 [49]

The correct answer is C. The 13 moose are the individuals. There is one categorical variable and four quantitative variables.

Explanation:

In research, the individuals refer to the participants or population that is being analyzed. For example, if the purpose of the research is to know how many hours highschool students sleep, the individuals are high school students. In this context, the individual or population of this study ae the 13 moose.

Moreover, this research focuses on different variables such as gender, height, the number of hours each moose spends in the water, the weigh of the food eaten on average by each moose, and the average weight of food eaten every day. From these variables, the last four variables are quantitative because they can be measured using numbers, for example, the height is measured in inches. On the other hand, the first variable is categorical because each moose can be classified in only two categories: male or female.
