Answer:

l = 16, w = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length

Let w = width

Area = w * l

128 = w * l

w = 128/l

Perimeter = 2w + 2l

48 = 2w + 2l

48 = 2(128/l) +2l

48 = 256/l +2l

Multiply everything by l

48l = 256 + 2l^2

l^2 + 128 = 24l

l^2 + 128 -24l = 0

(l-16)(l-8)= 0

L = 16

L = 8

If you try them out, and test it, l = 16 would work:

2(16) + 256/16 = 48

32 + 16 =48

16 * 128/16 = 128

16 * 8= 128

128 = 128

Since I'm not sure if you are in advanced math or not, I will do it simple with guess and check

Try w is

46.8 45.41 2190.24 2062.0681 2125.188

47.93 15.7 2297.2849 246.49 752.501

51.78 49.58 2681.1684 2458.1764 2567.2524

52.17 44.34 2721.7089 1966.0356 2313.2178

47.36 18 2242.9696 324 852.48

Total 292 211.79 14245.6934 8559.1077 10392.0488

Sample size: n =6

Now

$S_{yy}=\sum y^{2}-\frac{\left (\sum y \right )^{2}}{n}=1083.27$

$S_{xx}=\sum x^{2}-\frac{\left (\sum x \right )^{2}}{n}=35.03$

$S_{xy}=\sum xy-\frac{\left (\sum x \right )\left (\sum y \right )}{n}=84.94$

The coefficient of correlation is :

$r=\frac{S_{xy}}{\sqrt{S_{xx}S_{yy}}}=0.436$

Rationalise the denominator <br>

Margaret [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} }$

multiply

$\sqrt{5}$

do both the numerator and denominater

$\frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{5} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{2 \sqrt{15} }{ \sqrt{25} } = \frac{2 \sqrt{15} }{5}$
