Answer:

19.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the length of the diagonal of a square, first we need the length of it sides. We will get this information from the perimeter.

We calculate the perimeter of a square adding up the length of the 4 sides. As all the sides of a square are equal, we just take one side and multiply it by four.  

So, if the perimeter is 56 cm, that means 56 = 4*L, where L represents the length of the sides. If we want to know the value of L, we have to divide by 4 on both sides:

56 = 4*L

56/4 = 4/4*L

14 = L

Now we can find out the length of the diagonal using the Pythagorean equation  

\fbox {\textbf{Pythagorean equation}:} <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle)</em>

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal we want to find out and the legs are the two sides of the square.

So, we have  

D^2 = L^2 + L^2

D^2 = 14^2 + 14^2

D^2 = 392

D = \sqrt{392}

D = 19.8

Help me please i dont understand
ELEN [110]

Answer:

6/5 or 1.2, they're the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says "rate of change", it's really just asking for the slope. If you don't know what the slope is, essentially how much the y-value increases by whenever x increases by 1. This can be formally defined using the equation: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} which is essentially \frac{rise}{run}. The subtraction is finding the difference between the two numbers to see how much it's changed by. Btw the order doesn't matter, I could plug in (-3, -2) as (x2, y2) or I could plug it in as (x1, y1) as long as I make sure to input it in correctly. In this example I'll just say (-3, -2) = (x1, y1) and (2, 4) = (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the equation gives you: \frac{4- (-2)}{2- (-3)} = \frac{6}{5} that's the rate of change

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.
