Answer:

The dimension of the rug would be 17 ft × 9 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

length of the room = 27 ft.

width of the room = 19 ft.

suppose, she leaves a uniform strip of x ft. around the rug.

So,

The length of rug = (27-2x)ft.

Width of rug= (19-2x)ft.

∴ Area of the rug= length×width

                            =  (27-2x)(19-2x)

                            =  513-54x-38x+4x^2

                            =   513-92x+4x^2

According to the question,

513-92x+4x^2=153

513-92x+4x^2-153=0        ( subtract 153 both sides)

4x^2-92x+360=0

4(x^2-23x+90)=0

x^2-23x+90=0

x^2-(18+5)x+90=0            ( Middle term splitting)

x^2-18x-5x+90=0

x(x-18)-5(x-18)=0

(x-5)(x-18)=0

x-5=0 or x-18=0             ( zero product property)

x=5 or x=18

if x=18, dimension would be negative  ( Not possible)

Thus, x= 5

Hence,

length of rug= 27-10=17 ft.

width of rug= 19-10=9 ft.

How much weight did he gain over the six week period?
kolezko [41]
Convert all to decimals
1/4=0.25
1/2=0.5 so

2 and 1/2=2.5
3=3
-1 and 1/4=-1.25
4 and 1/4=4.25
1 and 1/4=1.25
-1 and 1/2=-1.5
add all together
2.5+3-1.25+4.25+1.25-1.5=8.25=8 and 1/4


answer is 8 and 1/4
B is correct answer

A manufacturing firm wants to package its product in a cylindrical container
IRINA_888 [86]
To solve the problem above, we will be using the equation in solving the surface area of a cylinder which goes. A = 2pi r^2 + 2pi r h, A is for the surface area, pi is 3.1416; h is the height and r is the radius. Basing on this formula the radius will be 0.3982 ft both top and bottom.

Answer:

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

6 10 2 6 3 3 3 6 6 6 6 5 8 9 10 10 7 9 3 6 5 10 9 9 10 3 8 6 6 3 3 6 6 5 4 10 9 3 5 7 10 6 3 8 6 8 3 3 5 5

Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n

n = sample size = 50

ΣX = 308

xbar = 308 / 50 = 6.16

Using a Calculator :

The sample standard deviation, s = 2.469

Confidence interval = xbar ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 50 - 1 = 49

Tcritical = 2.010

Hence,

Margin of Error= 2.010 * (2.469/sqrt(50)) = 0.7018

Lower boundary : (6.16 - 0.7018) = 5.4582

Upper boundary : (6.16 + 0.7018) = 6.8618

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)
