Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the base

h represents the height

area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches

From the question'

b = 18 + 3h

Slot in the value of b

216 = (18 + 3h) * h

expand

216 = 18h + 3h^2

subtract 216 from both sides

0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216

rearrange

3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0

divide through by 3

h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0

Now, lets solve!

h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0

h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0

(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0

h - 12 = 0

h = 12

and

h + 6 = 0

h = - 6

Taking the positive value of h

Hence, the height is 12 inches

Lets check

when h = 12 inches

Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches     .... correct

when h = -6inches

A = 18 * -6 ≠  216 square inches

So height is 12 inches

125,000 * 1.0625^t years

Step-by-step explanation:

compound interest = increase in amount

100 + 6.25 = 106.25

106.25/100 = 1.0625

therefore, 125,000 * 1.0625^years

In a study of 250 adults, the mean heart rate was 70 beats per minute. Assume the population of heart rates is known to be appro
klasskru [66]
This is a good question!

The steps are like follows:

Form the confidence level (99%), we calculate the "alpha" value
alpha=1-(99/100)=0.01

Now, calculate the critical probability (p-start)
p*=1-(alpha/2)=1-(0.01/2)=0.995

z-score could be calculated from p*,,,
z-score=<span>2.57583
(http://www.socscistatistics.com/tests/ztest/zscorecalculator.aspx)

Now, calculate the Margin of Error:
</span>standard<span> deviation = s
number of adults = n
</span><span>
ME=(z*s)/(sqrt n)=(</span><span>2.57583*12)/(sqrt 250) = 1.955

The confidence interval = mean +or- ME
                                      = 70+1.955</span>  or  70-1.955


So that we can conclude that <span>the 99% confidence interval for the mean beats per minute is 68.045 and 71.955

</span>

I hope you got the idea!
