Answer:

l = 60 yd; w = 30 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two bits of information

(a) The perimeter of the rectangle

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

             P = 2l + 2w

             P = 180 yd     Insert into the formula

(1) 2l + 2w = 180

===============

(b) The length-to-width ratio

(2) l = 2w

Substitute the value of l from Equation (2) into Equation (1)

2×(2w) + 2w = 180

===============

Solve for w

4w + 2w = 180     Combine like term s

        6w = 180     Divide each side by 6

          w = 30 yd

===============

Solve for l

Substitute the value for w into Equation (1).

2l +2×30 = 180

   2l +60 = 180     Subtract 60 from each side

          2l = 120      Divide each side by 2

            l = 60 yd

The field is 60 yd long and 30 yd wide.

===============

<em>Check</em>:

P = 2×60 + 2×30

P = 120 + 60

P = 180 yd

Also

60 = 2 × 30

60 = 60

Is it a convenience sample or voluntary response sample for both
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

both of the questions are examples of convenience samples

Step-by-step explanation:

A voluntary response would be where the people get to choose to respond to the survey. In both of these cases, teachers are specifically asking for their students opinions.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 260 chemistry and physics textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry books sold was
Lynna [10]

Let:

x = Chemistry textbooks sold

y = Physics textbooks sold

The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:

x+y=260

The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:

x=3y

Let:

\begin{gathered} x+y=260_{\text{ }}(1) \\ x=3y_{\text{ }}(2) \end{gathered}

Replace (2) into (1):

\begin{gathered} 3y+y=260 \\ 4y=260 \\ y=\frac{260}{4} \\ y=65 \end{gathered}

Replace the value of y into (2):

\begin{gathered} x=3(65) \\ x=195 \end{gathered}

Use counting to determine the whole number that corresponds to the cardinality of these sets:______. (a) A= (xl x € Nand 20.&lt;
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardinality of a set is defined as number of element in a set. It is represented as n(X) where X is any set.

a) Given the set A =(x l x € N and 20.< x<27). According to the set, the set contains the values of natural numbers between 20 and 27. The values are 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26

A = (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

According to the set A, it can be seen that there are 6 elements in the set, <em>this means n(A) = 6.</em>

b) Given B=(x | xeN and x+1=x)

Since natural numbers starts from 1, the first element in the set is 2 i.e 1+1

The elements of the set B = (2, 3, 4, 4...)

<em>The number of whole number in the set is therefore infinite. </em>

c) For the set C={x l xe N and (x- 1)(x - 9) = 0)

We need to get the root of the equation  (x- 1)(x - 9) = 0

x-1 = 0 and x-9 = 0

x = 1 and x = 9

Hence the element C = (1,9)

<em>The number of whole number in the set is n(C) = 2</em>

d)  D={xlx E N, H X 5 100, and x is divisible by both 5 and 8)

Given the value of x between 5 and 100, the values of x divisible by 5 = (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 , 55, 60 , 65, 70, 75, 80 85, 90, 95)

values of x divisible by 8 = (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96)

<em>The total number of elements in both set = 29 i.e n(D) = 29 </em>
