Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Then the width = L/4

area = length * width

area = L * L/4 = 9

L^2/4 = 9

L^2 = 36

L = 6 or L = -6

Since we are dealing with a length, we eliminate the negative answer.

Answer: 6 units

P.S. Your equation is incorrect. L(L) = 9 would work for a square with 4 congruent sides and area 9. Here the sides have different lengths. The equation is L(L/4) = 9.

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle's width is one-fourth of its length.

w = 1/4 l

area is 9 square units

A = l*w = 9

  Replacing w with 1/4l

  l * (1/4l) = 9

1/4 l^2 = 9

Multiply each side by 4 to clear the fraction

4 * 1/4 l^2 = 4*9

l^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt (l^2) = sqrt(36)

l =6

A population has a mean muequals160 and a standard deviation sigmaequals20. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling
hoa [83]

Answer:

Mean 160

Standard deviation 2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 160, \sigma = 20

Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means with sample size n = 58.

Mean 160

Standard deviation s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{58}} = 2.63

What is 243.875 rounded to the nearest tenth
Kay [80]

Note that the tenth place value is 8 (bolded):

243.875

Look at the place value directly right of the bolded number (hundredth place value). It is a 7. Because 7 is greater than 5, round up

243.875 rounded to the nearest tenth = 243.9

243.9 is your answer

hope this helps
