The width of the pathway is 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be 'w'

The area will be 130 square meters

The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7

Area = (10+w) (7+w)

130 = 70 + 17w + w^2

w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0

w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0

w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0

(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0

w = -20 ( or) w = 3

w is the width and cannot be negative.

So, w = 3 meters

The width of the pathway is 3m

Lynna [10]

The confidence interval for the mean population of drivers who do not like driving at night is 57.79% - 62.21%.

<h3><u>Confidence interval</u></h3>

To determine what is the 92% confidence interval for the population mean of drivers that do not like driving at night, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 1500 = 100
  • 900 =X
  • 900 x 100 / 1500 = X
  • 60 = X
  • 60 x 0.92 = 55.2
  • 60 x 1.08 = 64.8

Therefore, the confidence interval for the mean population of drivers who do not like driving at night is 57.79% - 62.21%.

Can someone please help me answer this question.?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

d=8.0 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

We are given the volume and the height

117.23 and the height 7

117.23 = 1/3 *3.14 *r^2 * 7

117.23 = 7.3266666666 *r^2

Divide each side by 7.3266666666

117.23/7.3266666666 = 7.3266666666 *r^2/7.3266666666

16.00045496 = r^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(16.00045496) =sqrt( r^2)

4.000 = r

We found the radius but it wants the diameter

d = 2*r

d =2*4.0

d=8.0 meters
