Answer:

The answer is

<h2> 19 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

let w be the width and l be the length

Area of rectangle = 247 ft²

width is 6 feet less than its length is

w = l - 6

247 = l( 1 - 6)

l² - 6l - 247 = 0

(l + 13) (l - 19) = 0

l + 13 = 0 l - 19 = 0

l = - 13 l = 19

Since the length should be positive

The length of the rectangle is

<h3> 19 feet</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Length of the rectangle, L = 19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle, A = 247 ft²

Let the length of the rectangle be L

The width of the rectangle = W

Since the width of the rectangle is 6 ft less that the length;

W = L - 6

A = L * W

247 = L * (L - 6)

247 = L² - 6L

L² - 6L - 247 = 0

By solving the quadratic equation above:

(L - 19)(L + 13) = 0

L - 19 = 0, L = 19

L + 13 = 0; L = -13

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be negative, L = 19 ft

Leah loves chicken wings and is comparing the deals at three different restaurants. Buffalo Bills has 888 wings for \$7$7dollar
ella [17]

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = \frac{7}{8} =0.875

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = \frac{10}{12}= 0.833

Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17

Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = \frac{17}{20}= 0.850

Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.

They're not congruent.

If you count the numbers between AC and BE, they're different.

AC - goes from -7 to 0, which is 7 spaces
BE - goes from -2 to 6, which is 8 spaces

in a random sample of 150 voters, 60 support Trump. Set up a 96 percent confidence interval for the proportion of voters who sup
denis-greek [22]
Given:
n = 150, sample size
Denote the sample proportion by q (normally written as \hat{p}).
That is,
 q = 60/150 = 0.4, sample proportion.

At the 96% confidence level, the z* multiplier is about 2.082, and the confidence interval for the population proportion is
q \pm z^{*}[ \frac{q(1-q)}{ \sqrt{n} } ]

That is,
0.4 +/- 2.082* √[(0.4*0.6)/150]
= 0.4 +/- 0.0833
= (0.3167, 0.4833)
= (31.7%, 48.3%)

Answer: The 96% confidence interval is about (32% to 48%)
