Let w=width
L= length
3w+1=l
Perimeter -2(l+w)
2(W+3w+1)=42
Divide both sides by 2
W+3w+1=21
Subtract 1
W+3w=20
Add like terms
4w=20
Divide both sides by 4
W=5
The width is 5 inches

3w+1=l
Input the width into the equation
3(5)+1=l
15+1=l
16=l
The length of the rectangle is 16 inches

The rectangle is 5 x 16 inches

Find the measure of angle A.<br><br> 71° x+49<br> +72
slega [8]

Answer: 66 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the angle measures is 180, so:

71 + x + 49 + x + 72 = 180

2x + 192 = 180

2x = -12

x = -6

Meaning the measure of angle A = -6 + 72 = 66 deg.

Jim and Carla are scuba diving. Jim started out 12 feet below the surface. He descended 17 feet, rose 3 feet, and descended 8 mo
Maslowich

Answer:

Jim reached a greater depth by one foot, as he started 12 feet below the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim

12 feet+17 feet = 29

29-3 feet (rose 3 feet) = 26

26+8= 34 feet

Carla

0 feet (surface)+ 19 feet= 19

19-3 feet= 16

16+17= 33 feet

At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

P(20

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.
