A rectangular folder has a perimeter of 30 inches and an area of 54 square inches. What are the dimensions of the folder?

1 answer:

3 0

We know, perimeter = 2(l + w)
So, 2(l + w) = 30
2l + 2w = 30
Divide the equation 2,
l + w = 15

Now, Area = l * w
l * w = 54

Substitute the value of l from previous equation,
(15-w) * w = 54
15w - w² = 54
w² - 15w + 54 = 0
w² - 6w - 9w + 54 = 0
w(w - 6) -9(w - 6) = 0
(w-6)(w-9) = 0
w = 6 or 9

In short, Your Dimensions would be: 6 × 9 in

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(a) 26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side vertical line extends from y = -3 to y = +3, so is 3-(-3) = 6 units long.

The bottom side horizontal line extends from x = -5 to x = 2, so is 2 -(-5) - 7 units long.

The sum of these two sides is 6 + 7 = 13 units. These two sides make up half of the perimeter, which is the total length of all four sides.

The perimeter is 2 × 13 units = 26 units.

Suppose James randomly draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. He then places it back into the deck and draws a second ca

qwelly [4]

Answer:

1.92%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for first case, picking a queen out of deck, will be:

$\frac{4}{52}$

as there will be 4 queens in a deck, one of each suit.

For the second pick, the probability of picking a diamond card, will be:

$\frac{13}{52}$

here the total will remain 52 as he has replaced the first card and not kept it aside and there will be 13 cards in diamond suit (including the three face cards).

Thus the net probability for both cases will be:

$P = \frac{4}{52} * \frac{13}{52}\\ P = \frac{1}{52}\\ P = 0.01923\\P = 1.923\%\\\\P = 1.92\%$

Thus total probability for the combined two cases will be 1.92%
