----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5                // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width

----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x)         // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5)                // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10                    // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x                            // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48                            // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8                                // Divide by 6 on both sides

----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Length= 5+2x
Width = x

Perimeter = 2(l+w)=58
= 2(5+2x+x)=58
= 2(5+3x)=58
= 10+6x =58
= 6x= 48
X= 8
Width=8
Length= 21

Assuming your hypothesis is supported, which of the following graphs predicts the response of the female cricket to the male’s s
siniylev [52]
<span>The correct answer for this question is this one: "
Hint 1. Predicting the outcome of the experiment if your hypothesis is supported First, review your hypothesis.

Your hypothesis states that female crickets respond to both the chirp rate of the male’s song and the local temperature when identifying potential mates. From this hypothesis, you make the following prediction: If a female cricket is at a different temperature from a male of the same species, she will not respond to the male’s song. 

Hope this helps answer your question.

Of all the employees,what is the approximate relative frequency of Managers who worked more than 40 hours ?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The approximate relative frequency of Managers who worked more than 40 hours will be  9.3\%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is mentioned below in the attached diagram.

From the question diagram which is attached below, it is clear that

  • there are total 86 employees, and
  • there are 8 are who work more than 40 hours per week.

Hence, the approximate relative frequency of managers who worked more than 40 hours will be:

                                   \frac{8}{86}=0.093  

Which is is equal to 9.3\%.

Therefore, the approximate relative frequency of Managers who worked more than 40 hours will be  9.3\%.
