The 7th graders at Sunview Middle School were helping to renovate a playground for the kindergartners at a nearby elementary sch

ool. City regulations require that the sand underneath the swings be at least 15 inches deep. The sand under both swing sets was only 12 inches deep when they started.
The rectangular area under the small swing set measures 9 feet by 12 feet and required 40 bags of sand to increase the depth by 3 inches. How many bags of sand will the students need to cover the rectangular area under the large swing set if it is 1.5 times as long and 1.5 times as wide as the area under the small swing set? Show your work or explain your thinking.

Answer:

90 bags of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

9 feet × 1.5 = 13.5

12 feet × 1.5 = 18

Large pit area= 13.5 × 18 = 243ft squared

The small pit area=9 × 12 = 108ft squared

243 / 108 = 2.25 times larger

This means the large pit needs 2.25 times more sand.

40 × 2.25 = 90 bags of sand

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The value is   P(X \ge 9) = 0.9138

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The probability of passing the test is  p =  0.95

  The sample size is  n  =  10  

Generally the distribution of the comprehensive testing of equipment  follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

  Generally the probability that at least 9 pass the test  is mathematically represented as

    P(X \ge 9) =  P(X = 9 ) + P(X = 10 )

=> P(X \ge 9) =  [^{10}C_9 *  (0.95)^9 *  (1- 0.95)^{10-9}] + [^{10}C_{10} *  (0.95)^{10} *  (1- 0.95)^{10-10}]

=> P(X \ge 9) =  [0.3151] + [0.5987]

=> P(X \ge 9) = 0.9138

Free points, One last question, 3k+16=8+5k​
Tema [17]

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

3k + 16 = 8 + 5k

Subtract 3k from both sides

16 = 8 + 2k

Subtract 8 from both sides

8 = 2k

Divide both sides by 2

4 = k

The answer is 4

Hope this Helps!

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints U(-3,4) and V(9,8)
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y=-3x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint of UV (using the midpoint formula) is (3,6)

the slope of UV= 4/12= (1/3)

perpendicular slope is -3

now find line with slope -3 passing (3,6)

y-6=-3(x-3)

y=-3x+15

  Question 118094: Find the length x in the triangle. Side 1=8. Side 2=x. Side 3=12 (Scroll Down for Answer!)Did you know that Algebra.Com has hundreds of free volunteer tutors who help people with math homework?

Type Your Question Go!!! Answer by jim_thompson5910(34119) About Me  (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that the triangle is a right triangle and that side 3 is the hypotenuse. 

We basically have this triangle set up: 
 Since we can see that the triangle has legs of 8 and x with a hypotenuse of 12, we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side. 

Pythagoreans theorem: 
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse 


8%5E2%2Bx%5E2=12%5E2 Plug in a=8, b=x, and c=12. Now lets solve for x 

6+4+%2B++x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4 Square each individual term 
 


+x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4+-+6+4 Subtract 64 from both sides 

+x++%5E+2+=+8+0 Combine like terms 

s+q+r+t+%28++x++%5E+2+%29+=+s+q+r+t+%28+8+0+%29 Take the square root of both sides 

x=4%2Asqrt%285%29 Simplify the square root 

Which approximates to... x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6 
So our answer is x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6....
