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

8.52 The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches
sweet [91]

Answer:

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches.

This means that \mu = 32, \sigma = 1.5

There may be a problem when a child is in the top or bottom 5% of heights. Determine the heights of 2-year-old children that could be a problem.

Heights at the 5th percentile and below. The 5th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645. Thus

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 32}{1.5}

X - 32 = -1.645*1.5

X = 29.5

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Which graph shows the solution to this system of inequalities?<br> y&gt;-1/3x+1<br> y&gt;2x-3
Mademuasel [1]

Given:

The system of inequalities is:

y>-\dfrac{1}{3}x+1

y>2x-3

To find:

The graph of the given system of inequalities.

Solution:

We have,

y>-\dfrac{1}{3}x+1

y>2x-3

The related equations are:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+1

y=2x-3

Table of values for the given equations is:

    x                   y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+1             y=2x-3

   0                             1                              -3

   3                             0                              3

Plot (0,1) and (3,0) and connect them by a straight line to get the graph of y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+1.

Similarly, plot (0,-3) and (3,3) and connect them by a straight line to get the graph of y=2x-3.

The signs of both inequalities are ">". So, the boundary line is a dotted line and the shaded region or each inequality lie above the boundary line.

Therefore, the graph of the given system of inequalities is shown below.

a trapezoide has an area of 150 square meters. If the bases are 14 meters and 16 meters, what is the height of the trapezoid​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

h = 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a trapezoid is  

A = (1/2)(B + b)h   where B is the bottom base, b is the top base, and h is the height.  

We are given B = 16, b = 14, and A = 15, plug those values in and simplify

150 = (1/2)(16 + 14)(h)

      150 = (1/2)(30)(h)

          150 = (15)h             (half of 30 is 15)

                10 m =  h       (divide both sides by 15 to isolate h)
