Suppose a2 - 64 represents the area of a rectangle. If the length is represented by a + 8, what would represent the width? A) a

- 8 B) a + 8 C) (a + 8)(a - 8) D) (a - 8)(a + 8)

Area = L * W

a^2 - 64 = (a + 8)(a - 8)
a^2 - 64 = a^2 - 64

so ur answer is : width = (a - 8)

A basketball player makes 70% of his free throws the random numbers below represent 20 trials for a simulation let the numbers 0

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the simulation below:

(5,5) (0,6) (9,6) (7,4) (9,1) (7,3) (0,4) (9,3) (2,9) (1,4)

(6,8) (5,3) (1,7) (1,7) (1,8) (3,5) (7,2) (2,1) (0,6) (1,8)

n(S)=20

The numbers 0 to 6 represent a made free throw .
The numbers 7 to 9 represent a missed free throw.
Therefore, any result containing 7 to 9 does not satisfy our requirement that the player makes both throws.

Let Event A be the event that the player made both throws

The pairs in which the player made both throws are:

(5,5) (0,6) (0,4) (1,4) (5,3) (3,5) (2,1) (0,6)

n(A)=8

Therefore:

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{8}{20}=0.4\\$

The probability that the player made both throws is 40%.

10. When a rubber ball is dropped from a height, h cm on to a flat concrete floor, it rebounds to 3 5 h cm a height of Given a r

Xelga [282]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be H

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The nth term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where n is the term index, a is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the Nth term is

To find the total distance travel one has to sum over up to n=3. But there is little subtle point here. For the first bounce ( n=1 ), the ball has only travel H and not 2H. For subsequent bounces ( n=2,3,4,5...... ), the distance travel is 2×(3/4)n×H

a=2H..........r=3/4

However we have to subtract H because up to the first bounce, the ball only travel H instead of 2H

Therefore the total distance travel up to the Nth bounce is

For N=3 one obtains

D=3.625H

Given lines p and q are parallel, find the value of x that makes each diagram true.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: for a the answer is 140° and for b x=25°

Step-by-step explanation:

for a, when you have 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal,the corresponding angles are congruent. and the angle140 is congruent to the corresponding angle as they are vertical angles are congruent.

for b, angle x is congruent to the angle that is supplementary to 155 therefore 180-155=25°
