Answer:

Width 130 ft and

Length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Length of the rectangular base is 70 ft less than three times the width;
  • Perimeter of the rectangular base is 900 ft

We are required  to determine the dimensions of the rectangular base;

Assuming the width of the rectangular base is x ft

Then length will be (3x - 70) ft

But;

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Thus;

900 ft = 2(3x-70) + 2(x)

900 ft = 6x -140 +2x

1040 = 8x

 x = 130

Thus;

Width = 130 ft

Length = 3x -70 = 320 ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular base are width 130 ft and length 320 ft

ABC is an isosceles triangle with angle ABC 52 degrees
coldgirl [10]

We need the picture to answer this question.  From the information
given, we can't be sure that XY is even on the same planet as the
triangle.  We certainly don't know how they're related.

All we can say for sure is that if one angle of an isosceles triangle is
52 degrees, then another one is either 52 degrees or 64 degrees.

belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the school sold raffle tickets, and each ticket has a digit either 1, 2, or 3. The school also sold 2 tickets with the number 000.

Therefore we have the following raffle tickets:

123

132

213

231

312

321

000

000

From the given information, we can deduce that the school sold 8 tickets and only one ticket can contain the number arrangement of 123, but 000 appeared twice.

Probability of 123 to be picked=

1/8 => 0.125

Probability of 000 to be picked=

2/8 => 0.25

Since the probability of 000 to be picked is greater than 123, a ticket number of 000 is more likely to be picked
