The defensive area is 510 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the rectangle

and

W be the width

According to given statement

L = 2W-15

Perimeter = 270

P = 2W+2L\\270 = 2W + 2(2W-15)\\270 = 2W + 4W -30\\270 +30 = 6W\\6W = 300

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6W}{6} =\frac{300}{6}\\W = 50\ yards\\\\and\\L = 2(50) -15\\= 100-15\\=85\ yards

We have to find the area first to find the defensive area

So,

Area = L* W\\= 85 * 50\\=4250\ square\ yards

Defensive area = 3/25 of total area

So,

=\frac{3}{25}*4250\\=3 *170\\=510\ square\ yards

Hence,

The defensive area is 510 square yards

1. A motorboat leaves a harbor and travels at an average speed of 15 mph toward an island. The average speed on the return trip
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

  30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the distance to the island. The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

so the total time for the round trip is ...

  d/15 +d/10 = 5

Multiplying by 30, we get

  2d +3d = 150

  d = 150/5 = 30

The island was 30 miles from the harbor.

Find the experimental probability that exactly 3 of 4
otez555 [7]

Answer:

4 / 20 (1 / 5)

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability is what actually happens in an experiment (as opposed to an authentic probability calculated from genetics).

In this experiment, there are 3 outcomes with :

3 tails and 1 head

(tails represent female, head represent male)

So, 4 / 20 of the time, this coin flip was what we call a "success" (meaning that it matches the guidelines that we want)

4 / 20 = 20% of the time

So, the probability of a group of 4 puppies being 3 females and 1 male is :

4 / 20 (1 / 5)

20%

An angle of measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) What is the exact value of cos(120)
notka56 [123]

The exact value of cos120 if the measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) is 0.5

<h3>Solving trigonometry identity</h3>

If an angle of measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2), the measure of cos(120) can be expressed as;

Cos120 = cos(90 + 30)

Using the cosine rule of addition

cos(90 + 30) = cos90cos30 - sin90sin30

cos(90 + 30) = 0(√3/2) - 1(0.5)

cos(90 + 30) = 0 - 0.5

cos(90 + 30) = 0.5

Hence the exact value of cos120 if the measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) is 0.5
