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

This is stupid I know lol but I'm having a hard time remembering the difference between a histogram and a bar graph. Can someone
Y_Kistochka [10]

<u>In Bar Graphs;</u>

- Bars have equal space

- One the y-axis, we have numbers & on the x-axis, we have data which can be anything.

<u> In Histograms;</u>

- Bars are fixed

- On the y-axis, we have numbers & and on the x-axis, we have data which in continuous & will always be number.

<u>An easy way you can remember the difference is looking at the spaces of the bars. </u>

<em>A bar graph has gaps</em>

<em>A histogram has no gaps.</em>

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = 1.26\times 10^{6}tons

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one  grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = a(r^{n-1})

where a = first term of the series, r = common ratio, n = number of terms

Now we have to calculate the weight of all wheat placed on 45th square.

So we will put the values in the given formula 45th term =

1\times (2^{45-1}) = 2^{44}=1.76\times 10^{13}

Then the weight of wheat will be = 2.51\times 10^{9}pounds=1.26\times 10^{6}tons
