Answer: the wire should be cut into 12 cm and 28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides of a square is equal.

The perimeter of a square is the distance around the square.

Let L represent the length each side of one of the squares. Then the perimeter of this square is 4L.

The length of a side of one square is to be 4 longer than length of a side of the other. This means that the length of each side of the other square is L + 4

The perimeter of the other square would be 4(L + 4) = 4L + 16

Since the piece of wire is 40 cm long, then

4L + 4L + 16 = 40

8L = 40 - 16 = 24

L = 24/8 = 3

The perimeter of the first square is

4L = 4 × 3 = 12

The perimeter of the second square is

4L + 16 = 4 × 3 + 16= 28

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Yes! The given quadrilateral represents Parallelogram.

Reason: The given quadrilateral has opposite sides congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadrilateral with the four vertices.

  • Now in order to determine whether the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram or not, we need to check whether the opposite sides are congruent or not.

  • It is clear that the given quadrilateral has opposite sides congruent.

Therefore, the given quadrilateral represents Parallelogram.

Hence,

Yes! The given quadrilateral represents Parallelogram.

Reason: The given quadrilateral has opposite sides congruent.

Y is a random variable that is distributed N(-16, 1.21). Find k such that Prob(-15.043 < Y ≤ k) = 0.1546. (Round your answer
IgorLugansk [536]

Transform <em>Y</em> to <em>Z</em>, which is distributed N(0, 1), using the formula

<em>Y</em> = <em>µ</em> + <em>σZ</em>

where <em>µ</em> = -16 and <em>σ</em> = 1.21.

Pr[-15.043 < <em>Y</em> ≤ <em>k</em>] = 0.1546

Pr[(-15.043 + 16)/1.21 < (<em>Y</em> + 16)/1.21 ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546

Pr[0.791 < <em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] - Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791] = 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546 + Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791]

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546 + 0.786

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.940

Take the inverse CDF of both sides (<em>Φ(x)</em> denotes the CDF itself):

(<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21 ≈ <em>Φ⁻¹</em> (0.940) ≈ 1.556

Solve for <em>k</em> :

<em>k</em> + 16 = 1.21 • 1.556

<em>k</em> ≈ -14.118
