Answer:

The side length of the large square is √2 times larger than the side length of the small square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a small square (square 1) and a large square (square 2). The area of the large square is twice that of the small square, that is,

A₂ = 2 A₁

A₂/A₁ = 2 [1]

The area of a square is equal to the length of the side (l) raised to the second power.

A = l²

l = √A

The ratio of l₂ to l₁ is:

l₂/l₁ = √A₂ / √A₁ = √(A₂/A₁)

We can replace [1] in the previous expression.

l₂/l₁ = √2

The side length of the large square is √2 times larger than the side length of the small square.

How does 4 digit addends have a 5 digit sum
denpristay [2]
A 4 digit addends could have a 5 digit sum because of the rule of regrouping.
Regrouping is a situation where carrying and borrowing is involves. So let’s have an example

  8999
<span>+5678
</span>14677

so in this example, we added 8999 to 5678.
9+8 = 17, so we bring down 7 and carry 1
9 + 7 = 16 + 1 = 17 , so again we bring down 7 carry 1
9 + 6 = 15 + 1 = 16, bring down 6 carry 1
8+5 = 13 + 1 =14, since this is our last number, bring down 14..
=> 14, 677

The weights of dogs at a kennel are Normally distributed with a mean of 18 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds.In whic
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

P(x=25)=P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 18 pounds

Standard Deviation = 3.5 pounds

x= 25

We need to find P(x=25)

First, we need to find z-score using formula: z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Finding z-score when x=25

z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{25-18}{3.5}\\z-score=2

So, we need to find P(z=2)=P(x=25)

Looking at z-score table we can find P(z=2)

P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

So, P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Jared creates a number sequence that has a first term of 2 and a second of term of 5. Each term after the second is created by s
dexar [7]

The rule for the sequence is S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Alternative form: S(n) = S(n-1) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we know the first two terms of the sequence:

S(1) = 2

S(2) = 5

We are told that each term after the second is created by subtracting the term before the previous term from twice the previous term. In other words, if we call:

S(n) the current term

S(n-1) the previous term

S(n-2) the term before the previous term

This statement translates into the following sequence:

S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Because we are subtracting the term before the previous term, S(n-2), from twice the previous term, 2S(n-1).

We can apply now the rule to find the first few terms of the sequence after S(1) and S(2):

S(3) = 2S(2) - S(1) = 2(5)-2=10-2 = 8

S(4) = 2S(3) - S(2) = 2(8)-5=16-5 = 11

S(5) = 2S(4) - S(3) = 2(11)-8=22-8 = 14

We notice also that each term of the sequence is just equal to the previous term plus 3, so the sequence can also be written as

S(n) = S(n-1) + 3

What is the equivalent to 3/-5
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: The answer would be 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equivalent form of 3/5 is 0.6, decimal form. The reason for this is because five goes into three only 0.6 times, so you divide the denominator by the numerator to get the equivalent, or decimal, form.
