The width of a rectangle is 12 inches more than the length. The perimeter is 76 inches. Find the width and the length.

stira [4]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.

If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .

Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24

⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x

⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.

So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

The mean number of daily surgeries at a local hospital is 6.2. Assume that surgeries are random, independent events. (a) The cou

Scilla [17]

Answer:

a) correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is 0.0536

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

mean number is given as 6.2

correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

we know that variance is given as $\sigma^2 = mean = 6.2$

hence, standard deviation is given as $\sqrt{6.2} = 2.48998$

thus standard deviation is 2.49

correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X =0) + P(X =1) + P(X =2)$

$= \frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^0}{0!} +\frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^1}{1!} +\frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^2}{2!}$

= 0.002029 + 0.012582+ 0.039006

= 0.053617

= 0.0536

Explain in words how to find the product of -4 (-1.5) using a number line.where do you end up

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

To multiply two minus numbers they will result as a positive number.

the product of any numbers when there is a negtive will always have 2 negtives invlved form three numbers including the answer.

-4 x -1.5 is the same as 4 x 1.5

the answer is 6

Three numbers like -1 x 4 will also be 2 numbers of negative.

= -4

We change this to -4 x 1.5 and shows the answer as -6

But the question had 2 negative numbers already and the answer is just positive 6.

The angle of elevation of the sun is 22∘. A 6ft tall man is standing in the shadow of a 76 ft tall tree so that the tips of thei

Anika [276]

Answer: 173.26 ft = 173 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h tree: 76 ft

h man: 6 ft

As we can see on the sketch, they form a right triangle, so:

tan 22 = 76/y ⇒ 0.404 = 76/y ⇒ y = 76*0.404 ⇒ y = 188.11 ft

tan 22 = 6/x ⇒ 0.404 = 6/x ⇒ x = 6*0.404 ⇒ x = 14.85 ft

distance between the man and the tree = y - x = 188.11 - 14.85 = 173.26 ft
