Answer:

The first side of the rectangle  =  3 ft

The other side =  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one side of the rectangle  = k feet

So, the other side of the rectangle = 4 ( First side) -4  =  (4 k -4 ) ft

Now, the area of the given same rectangle  = 24 sq ft

Area of the RECTANGLE = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ Area  = k x ( 4k - 4)

or, k ( 4k - 4)  = 24

\implies 4k^2 - 4k  = 24\\\implies k^2 - k = 6\\\implies k^2 - k - 6  = 0\\\implies k^2 - 3k + 2k - 6 = 0

or, k(k-3) +2(k-3) = 0

or, (k-3)(k+2) = 0

or, k = 3, or k = -2

As k = Length of the rectangle, so CAN NOT BE NEGATIVE.

⇒ k ≠ -2 , ⇒ k = 3 ft

So, the first side of the rectangle  = k =  3 ft

The other side = 4 k - 4   =  4 (3) - 4 = 12 - 4 =  8 ft

Answer:

So the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graphs all show continuous data. (I'll attach an image to show which ones I'm talking about)

Explanation:

This is because with continuous data, all points need to connect and it needs to continue. The 4th graph (with just points) would be discrete.

I hope this helps!! :)

Sorry I took so long...

WHAT IS THIS???????​
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

i think you have to mark where the dog leashes go on the line plot based on their length?? for example, a 3 foot dog leash is on the <em>list</em>, so maybe you're supposed to put an X or something above the number 3 on the <em>line plot</em>? so sorry if this didn't help..
