Answer:

36 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Data:

A = 864 ft²

 l = length of basement

w = ⅔l

Calculations:

864 = l × ⅔l

864 = ⅔l²

Multiply each side by 3:               2592 = 2l²

Divide each side by 2:                  1296 = l²

Take the square root of each side:     l = 36

The length of the basement is 36 ft.

Check:

w = ⅔l = 24 ft

864 = 36 × 24

864 = 864

Four cards numbered 1,5,8, and 9 are placed in a bag. A card is drawn at random and then replaced. The card is drawn at random a
anzhelika [568]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know the probability of drawing a 9 is 25 percent  or 1/4 because 9 is only one and doesn't repeat.

So the cards we drawn cards we drawn 2 times so multiply 1/4 times two.

1/4 * 2/1= 2/4 = 1/2

How many subsets of the set of divisors of 72 contain only composite numbers? For example, {8,9} and {4,8,12}$ are two such sets
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

257

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisors of 72 which are composite number are

4,6,8,9,12,18,36,72 (composite numbers are those numbers which are formed by the multiplication of two whole numbers}

So the total number of divisors which are composite are = 8

So total number of subset =2^n=2^8=256

In question it is said that also include empty set in count

So total number of subset =256+1=257

9. Verify experimentally that alternate angles are equal​
hoa [83]

Answer:

i am not sure if i answered your question correctly or not

Step-by-step explanation:

the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent . So, in the figure below, if k∥l , then ∠2≅∠8 and ∠3≅∠5

hope this help:)

What is the discriminate of the following quadratic equation?<br> 4x^2 - 2x + 6 = 0
hram777 [196]

-92

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation has the following form:

ax^2 + bx + c =0, \;\;\;a \neq 0

then its discriminant D is defined as

D = b^2 - 4ac

In our given quadratic equation, a = 4, b = -2 and c = 6, so its discriminant is

D = (-2)^2 - 4(4)(6) = -92

Note: The value of the discriminant D will determine the characteristics of the roots of the quadratic equation according to the following rules:

D > 0,\;\; there will be 2 real roots

D = 0,\;\; there will be 1 real root

D < 0,\;\; there will be 2 imaginary roots

Hence our given quadratic equation will not have any real roots but only imaginary ones.
