He can round 0.85 up, because its over .50.

He can round 15.92 up, because it is also over .50.

16 + 1 = 17 is the estimate.

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation:

he can either round up .85 to 1 and 15.92 to 16 and add from there or round up the answer when you don’t estimate

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

each dot = 45 bc 540 / how many dots there are which is 12 = 45 then there are 2 dots worth of 45 making it 90

math

540/12=45

45 x 2 = 90

Suppose S and T are mutually exclusive events. Find P(S or T). P(S) = 20%, P(T) = 22%

Svetradugi [14.3K]

S and P are mutually exclusive events.
P ( S ) = 20% = 0.20
P ( T ) = 22 % = 0.22
The probability of mutually exclusive events:
P ( S or T ) = P ( S ) + P ( T )
P ( S or T ) = 0.20 +0.22 = 0.42
Answer: The probability of ( S or T ) is 0.42 or 42 %.

The area of a trapezoid is 69.6 in2 and its altitude is 8.7 in. Find the perimeter of the trapezoid if the sum of its legs is eq

BaLLatris [955]

1. To solve this problem, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is:

A=(B+b)h/2

A is the area of the trapezoid (A=69.6 in²).
(B+b) is the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.
h is the height of the trapezoid (h=8.7 in).

2. When you clear the sum of the bases (B+b), you have:

A=(B+b)h/2
2A=(B+b)h
 (B+b)=2A/h
 (B+b)=2(69.6 in²)/(8.7 in)
(B+b)=16 in

3. The problem says that the sum of its legs is equal to the sum of its bases, therefore, the perimeter is:

Sum of the legs=Sum of the bases (B+b)=16 in

Perimeter=16 in+16 in
Perimeter=32 in

The perimeter of a rectangular lot of land is 436 ft. this includes an easement of x feet of uniform width inside the lot on whi

telo118 [61]

Given the Perimeter of the Lot is 436 ft, and an inner building whose base measures 122ft by 60ft. The key in the problem is that the easement is uniform.

Let X be the measure of easement. See attached

You will derive the equation where if you add X on the length of the inner rectangle length and width, you have below equation

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2*(122+2X) + 2*(60+2x)
436 = 244+4x + 120+4x

Rearranging the equation by shifting all constant on one side.
8x = 436-244-120
8x = 72
x=9 ft

Answer is 9ft easement for with respect to the base of the inner building.
