Recall that A = 1/2bh. We are given that h = 4+2b So, putting it all together: 168 = 1/2 b(4+2b) 168 = 1/2(4b + 2b^2) 168 = 2b + b^2 b^2 + 2b - 168 = 0. Something that multiplies to -168 and adds to 2? There's a trick to this. Notice 13^2 = 169. So, it's more than likely in the middle of the two numbers we're trying to find. So let's try 12 and 14. Yep. 12 x 14 = 168. So this factors into (b+14)(b-12) So b = -14 or b =12. Is it possible to have a negative length on a base? No. So 12 must be our answer. Let's check this. If 12 is our base, then according to our problem, 2*12 + 4 would be our height... or 28. so what is 12 * 28 /2? 196. Check. Hope this helped!

X=base 
(2x+4)=height
Area of a triangle=(base x height)/2
We can suggest this inequality:

x(2x+4)/2<168
x(2x+4)<336
2x²+4x<336
2x²+4x-336<0
x²+2x-168<0

1) we change the inequality sign of inequality by equality sign.
x²+2x-168=0
x=[-2⁺₋√(4+672)] / 2
x=(-2⁺₋√676)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(-2-√676)/2=-14
x₂=(-2⁺√676)/2=12

2) we make intervals with these values.
(-∞, -14<span> )
</span><span>(-14,12)
</span>(12, +∞)

3) we check  it out if these intervals work
(-∞,-14), For instead; if x=-15⇒ (-15)²+2(-15)-168=27>0. this solution interval don´t work.

(-14,12), For example; if x=1 ⇒(-1)²+2(1)-168=-168<0 this solution interval works.
but the solutions have to be always positive numbers, therefore, the solution is:  (0,12).

(12,+∞) , For example, if x=13 ⇒ (13)²+2(13)-168=27>0, this solution  interval don´t work.

Answer: the inequality is : <span>x(2x+4)/2<168, and the interval solution is (0,12) for the values of the base. </span>

<h3>Answer:  22</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

  • x = measure of angle 1 = angle WXY
  • 2x = twice the measure of angle 1 = measure of angle 2 = angle YXZ

The two angles mentioned combine to form angle WXZ which is 66 degrees.

angle1+angle2 = angle WXZ

x+2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22

Angle 1 is 22 degrees and angle 2 is 22*2 = 44 degrees.

Check:

angle1+angle2 = 22+44 = 66 = angle WXZ

In college​ basketball, a shot made from beyond a designated arc radiating about 20 ft from the basket is worth three points ins
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean \mu = 0.45 and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497

b) 4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we are going to need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For proportions, we have that the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.45, n = 100

a)By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean \mu = 0.45 and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497

b)This is Z when X = 0.25.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.25 – 0.45}{0.0497}

Z = -4.02

4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered

surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.

What type of graph organizes data into 4 groups of equal size, and is often used to compare two sets of data.
aliina [53]

The plot that organizes the data into 4 groups of equal sizes is box and whisker plot.

The image below shows a box and whisker plot. Following are the elements of box and whisker plot:

Minimum = This is the smallest value of the data set

Q1 = First (Lower) Quartile of the data set. 25% of the data values lie below this point

Q2 = Second Quartile or Median. This is the central value so 50% of the data values lie below this point

Q3 = Third (Upper) Quartile of the data set. 75% of the data values lie below this point.

Maximum = This is the maximum value of the data set.

Based on box and whisker plot we can compare two or more sets of data by comparing the spread of the data. We can also directly observe from the box and whisker plot if the data is uniform, normal or skewed. Using box and whisker plot we can also visualize any outliers that may be in the data.

Can someone help me with and and can you please write how you got it so I can understand
EastWind [94]

Answer:

12x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so a rectangle has 4 sides, 2 of which are called lengths, and 2 of which are widths.

length = 2x-3

width = 4x+5

the perimenter is the total of the 4 sides.

2(2x-3) = 4x-6 (the total for lengths)

2(4x+5) = 8x+10 (the total for widths)

add the 2 together:

12x+4
