A rectangle is 5 cm wider than twice its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 cm, then what is the area?

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are two unknowns: The length "l" and the width "w"

The perimeter of a rectangle is found as P = 2*l + 2*w

We also know that the length is 5cm more than twice the width. l = 2*w + 5

These two equations gives us a system of linear equations.

P = 2*l + 2*w

l = 2*w + 5

We can use substitution to replace the "l" in the first equation with 2*w + 5

P = 2*(2*w + 5) + 2*w

P = 4*w + 10 + 2*w

P = 6*w + 10

we know the perimeter is 70

70 = 6* w + 10

subtract 10 from both sides

60 = 6* w

w = 10

Now that we know the width, we can find the length by substituting 10 for "w" in the second equation.

l = 2* 10 + 5

l = 20 +5

l = 25

the dimentions of the rectangle are 25cm x 10 cm

Write down the general zeroth order linear ordinary differential equation. Write down the general solution.

The zeroth derivative of a function y(x) is simply the function itself, so the zeroth order linear ODE takes the general form

y(x)=f(x)

whose solution is f(x).

PLEASE HELP
miss Akunina [59]

In the smallest of the three triangles (with sides a,b,3) we have

a^2+3^2=b^2

In the second-largest triangle (with sides a,108), the length of the missing side is \sqrt{a^2+108^2}. Then in the largest triangle (with sides b,111,\sqrt{a^2+108^2}), we have

b^2+\left(\sqrt{a^2+108^2}\right)^2=(108+3)^2=111^2

\implies b^2+a^2+108^2=111^2

\implies b^2+a^2=657

Equivalently, we have

(a^2+9)+a^2=657\implies 2a^2=648\implies a^2=324\implies a=18

In turn, we find

b^2=18^2+3^2=298\implies b=\sqrt{333}=3\sqrt{37}

Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514
