Which expression gives the height, h, of the triangle

the length of a rectangle is 6 meters less than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 140m². Find the dimensions of the

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

A cake has a circumference of 25 1/7 inches. What is the area of the cake? Use 22/7 to approximate pi

Novosadov [1.4K]

To calculate for area given the circumference we proceed as follows:
C=2πr
where:
r=radius
thus given that C=25 1/7 in=176/7
thus plugging in our formula to solve for r we get:
176/7=2πr
thus
r=4.002~4.00 in
hence the area will be:
A=πr²
A=π×(4²)
A=50 2/7 in²

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett

valentinak56 [21]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is $\frac{211}{243}$ , hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is $\frac{232}{243}$ , hence:

$(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}$

$\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}$

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527$

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012$

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.
