Answer:

Width is 10ft and length is 6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a shape is the amount inside a shape. It is found using multiplication or A = l*w. Since the width is w and the length is 4ft less than its width or w - 4, use these expressions in the area formula to find their amount.

A = l*w\\60 = w(w -4)\\60 = w^2-4w

Subtract 60 from both sides and factor the quadratic to solve for w.

w^2 -4w - 60 = 0\\(w-10)(w+6) = 0

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 10 = 0 so w = 10

w + 6 = 0 so w = -6.

Since w represents a length or distance it cannot be negative, this means the width is 10. The length which is w - 4ft is 10 -4 = 6. The length is 6 ft.

The circumference of a circle is 5 Pi cm. What is the area of the circle?
Ber [7]

Answer:

6.25 pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is

C = 2*pi*r

We know the circumference is 5 pi

5 pi = 2 * pi *r

Divide each side by pi

5 pi/pi = 2 * pi *r/pi

5 = 2r

Divide by 2

5/2 = 2r/2

2.5 = r

We need to find the area of the circle

The area is given by

A = pi * r^2

   = pi * (2/5)^2

    = pi *6.25

    = 6.25 pi cm^2

In a certain city, 27% of the families have a MasterCard, 19% have an American Express card, and 22% have a Visa card. Nine perc
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

P(Master card) = 27% = 0.27

P(American express card) = 19% = 0.19

P( Visa card ) = 22% = 0.22

P( Master and American express card ) = 9% = 0.09

P( Visa and master card ) = 14% = 0.14

P( American express and visa card ) = 6% = 0.06

Now,

The  probability of selecting a family that has either a Visa card or an American Express card

= P( Visa card ) + P( American express card ) - P( Visa and American express card )

= 0.22 + 0.19 - 0.06

= 0.35

or

= 0.35 × 100% = 35%
