What is the length and width of a rectangle with a perimeter of 28 feet and an area of 48 sq feet

Mathematics

nydimaria [60]3 years ago

Answer:

The rectangle is 8 ft by 6 ft.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length and y = width

Then, 2x+2y = 28 and xy = 48

Since 2x+2y = 28, y = 14 - x

So, x(14 - x) = 48

   x2 - 14x + 48 = 0

  (x-8)(x-6) = 0

  x = 8 or x = 6


Hope this helps!

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = l*w

Perimeter = 2(l+w)

48 = lw

28 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

28/2 = 2/2(l+w)

14 = l+w

Subtract w from each side

14-w =l+w-w

14-w =l

Substitute this into the first equation for area

48 = lw

48 = (14-w) *w

48 = 14w - w^2

Subtract 14w from each side

48 -14w = 14w-14w -w^2

-14w +48 = -w^2

Add w^2 to each side

w^2 -14w +48 = -w^2+w^2

w^2 -14w +48  =0

Factor

(w-6) (w-8) = 0

Using the zero product property

w-6=0  w-8=0

w=6   w=8

So the width could be 6  or the width could be 8

If the width is 6

14-w =l

14-6 =l

8 =l

The length is 8

If the width is 8

14-w =l

14-8 =l

8 =l

The length is 6

The first eight quizzes in this class had average scores of 8,9,9,8,8,9,8,7. This gives a sample mean of 8.25 and a sample stand
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>Test statistic </em>

<em>               </em>t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }  

            t = <em>1.076</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given Mean of the Population (μ) = 8.0

<em>Mean of the sample (x⁻) = 8.25</em>

Given data

                  8,9,9,8,8,9,8,7

Given sample size  n= 8

Given sample standard deviation(S) = 0.661

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<em>Null hypothesis : H:  (μ) = 8.0</em>

<em>Alternative Hypothesis :H:(μ) > 8.0</em>

<em>Degrees of freedom = n-1 = 8-1=7</em>

<em>Test statistic </em>

<em>               </em>t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }<em></em>

<em>              </em>t = \frac{8.25 -8.0}{\frac{0.661}{\sqrt{8} } }<em></em>

<em>            t =  1.076</em>

<em>Critical value </em>

<em>                    t₍₇,₀.₀₅₎   = 2.3646</em>

<em>The calculated value   t =  1.076 < 2.3646 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<em>Null hypothesis is accepted</em>

<em>Test the hypothesis that the true mean quiz score is 8.0 against the alternative that it is not greater than 8.0</em>

Which choice is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 19) and has a slope of
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The equation is;

y = 12x-41

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

slope intercept form is;

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is intercept

Since we already have the slope , the equation is;

y = 12x + b

To get b which is the y intercept, we simply substitute the value of the points given

Thus;

19 = 5(12) + b

19 = 60+ b

b = 19-60

b = -41

So the equation is;

y = 12x - 41

Factor 4a2 - 25.<br><br> A. (2a + 5)(2a + 5)<br> B. (2a - 5)(2a - 5)<br> C. (2a - 5)(2a + 5)
nikdorinn [45]

This is the diference of 2 perfect squares. 4 is a perfect square, x^2 is a perfect square, and 25 is a perfect square. The pattern for this is (ax + b)(ax - b). Our a is 2 since 2*2 = 4, and our b is 5 since 5*5 = 25. So your factors are (2a+5)(2a-5), choice C.
