Let the width path be x.
Length of the outer rectangle = 26 + 2x.
Width of the outer rectangle = 8 +2x.

Combined Area = (2x + 26)*(2x + 8) = 1008

2x*(2x + 8) + 26*(2x + 8 ) = 1008

4x² + 16x + 52x + 208 = 1008

4x² + 68x + 208 - 1008 = 0
4x² + 68x - 800 = 0.          Divide through by 4.
x²  + 17x - 200 = 0 . This is a quadratic equation.

Multiply first and last coefficients:  1*-200 = -200

We look for two numbers that multiply to give -200, and add to give +17

Those two numbers are 25 and -8.

Check:   25*-8 = -200         25 + -8 = 17

We replace the middle term of +17x in the quadratic expression with 25x -8x


 x² +17x - 200 = 0     

x² + 25x - 8x - 200 = 0     

x(x + 25) - 8(x + 25) = 0

(x+25)(x -8) = 0

x + 25 = 0    or   x - 8 = 0

x = 0 -25              x = 0 + 8

x = -25                    x = 8

The width of the path can not be negative.

The only valid solution is x = 8.

The width of the path is 8 meters.

Select the correct answer. which data set is the farthest from a normal distribution? a. 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6 b. 3, 4, 5, 6
tigry1 [53]

The answer choice which is the farthest from a normal distribution is; Choice E; 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10.

<h3>Which data set is farthest from a normal distribution?</h3>

A normal distribution, is a data set which when graphed must follow a bell-shaped symmetrical curve centered around the mean. Additionally, such distribution must adhere to the empirical rule that indicates the percentage of the data set that falls within (plus or minus) 1, 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

On this note, upon evaluation of the data sets, it follows that answer choice E represents the data set that's most farthest from a normal distribution.

Using the digits 0 to 9 ​
Gre4nikov [31]

Supplementary Angles:

\boxed{100°} and \boxed{80°}

Arithmetically speaking, the closest 2 supplementary angles can get (in 3 and 2 digits respectively) is the upwritten.

Complementary Angles:

\boxed{45°} and \boxed{45°}

Simply, in this case, for angles to be numerically as close as possible - make both the angles 45°.

What are the coordinates of the hole in the graph of the function?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The hole is at (5,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 − 3x − 10

-------------------

x−5

Factor the numerator

(x-5)(x+2)

-------------------

x−5

There is a hole at x=5 since it will cancel in the numerator and the denominator

f(x) = x+2  and letting x = 5

f(5) = 5+2

The hole is at (5,7)

Is this graph a function or not a function
kiruha [24]

Answer:

In the graph of a circle, we can easily draw a straight vertical line passing through its center. This will hit the top and the bottom of the shape. Since this line hits two points, a circle's graph is not a function. We can also observe the equation of a circle.

At Yo-Yo Yogurt, the scale says that Sara has 8 ounces of vanilla yogurt in her cup. Her father’s yogurt weighs 11 ounces. How m
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: 1 \frac{3}{16}\ lb

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Sara has 8 ounces of vanilla yogurt in her cup and her  father’s yogurt weighs 11 ounces. Then, the total ounces of frozen yogurt they buy altogether is:

total_{(ounces)}=8\ oz+11\ oz\\\\total_{(ounces)}=19\ oz

The next step is to make the conversion from ounces to pounds.

You need to remember that:

1\ lb=16\ oz

Therefore:

total_{(pounds)}=(19\ oz)(\frac{1\ lb}{16\ oz})=\frac{19}{16}\ lb

This result expressed as a mixed number, is:

total_{(pounds)}=1\frac{3}{16}\ lb
