Answer:

10 yards by 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of each plot x yards by y yards.

If three plots are placed as the y-yards side are common to them then,  

The total perimeter will be (6x + 4y) = P = 120 yards {Given} ........... (1)

⇒ 3x + 2y = 60 ........... (2)

Now, the total area of the three plots will be 3xy = A = 450 sq, yards {Given} .......... (3)

⇒ x = \frac{150}{y} .......... (4)  

Now, solving equations (2) and (4) we get,

3(\frac{150}{y}) + 2y = 60

⇒ 225 + y² = 30y

⇒ y² - 30y + 225 = 0

⇒ (y - 15)² = 0

⇒ y = 15 yards.

Hence, from equation (4) we get,

x = 150/15 = 10 yards.

Therefore, the dimensions of each plot are 10 yards by 15 yards. (Answer)

The equation used to predict college gpa​ (range 0-4.0) is modifyingabove y with caret equals 0.22 plus 0.51 x 1 plus 0.002 x 2y
posledela

The college GPA for a high school GPA of 3.1 and a college board score of 500 will be 2.801

The equation to predict college GPA is :

y= 0.22+0.51x1+0.002x2

where ​x1 is high school GPA​ and x2 is college board score​.

According to the question, here x1= 3.1 and x2= 500

So, we will plug the values of x1 and x2 into the above equation..

y= 0.22+(0.51*3.1)+(0.002*500) \\ \\ y=0.22+1.581 +1\\ \\ y=2.801

So, the college GPA for a high school GPA of 3.1 and a college board score of 500 is 2.801

Show that if A is​ invertible, then det Upper A Superscript negative 1det A−1equals=StartFraction 1 Over det Upper A EndFraction
netineya [11]

Answer:

Therefore  

 det(A)*det(A^{-1}) = 1      and         det(A^{-1}) = 1/det(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that  if  

I  =  Identity Matrix    

then    det(I)=1.

Also remember that for any invertible matrix  

A*A^{-1}  = I =Identity Matrix.

Therefore    

det(A*A^{-1})  = det(A)*det(A^{-1}) = det(I) = 1

Therefore  

 det(A)*det(A^{-1}) = 1      and         det(A^{-1}) = 1/det(A)

The diagonal of a square is 8 cm.
VladimirAG [237]

the length of the side of this square is 4\sqrt{2} \:or \:5.65cm

Answer:

Solutions Given:

let diagonal of square be AC: 8 cm

let each side be a.

As diagonal bisect square.

let it forms right angled triangle ABC .

Where diagonal AC is hypotenuse and a is their opposite side and base.

By using Pythagoras law

hypotenuse ²=opposite side²+base side²

8²=a²+a²

64=2a²

a²=\frac{64}{2}

a²=32

doing square root on both side

\sqrt{a²}=\sqrt{32}

a=±\sqrt{2*2*2*2*2}

a=±2*2\sqrt{2}

Since side of square is always positive so

a=4\sqrt{2} or 5.65 cm
