The perimeter of a rectangle is 

P = 2w +2l
P = 68 ft

and given the ratio l/w = 9/8 from this result 8l = 9w so l = (9w)/8

P = 2w +2l

68 = 2w +2((9w)/8)

68 = 2w +9w/4

4*68 = 8w +9w

272 = 17w

w = 272/17

w = 16 

so than we know that w=16 so than the length will be 

l = (9w)/8

l = 9*16/8

l = 9*2

l = 18

so than we know that 

l = 18
w = 16

Vijay has a collection of 50 number cubes that are each 1 cubic inch. He finds a box that is 4 inches high.He fits 12 cubes into
Lera25 [3.4K]

No, Vijay cannot fit all cubes into the box.

Solution:

Total number of cubes = 50

Volume of each cube = 1 cubic inch

Number of cubes fit in the bottom of the box = 12

Area of the box<em> = l</em> × <em>b</em> = 12 square inch

Height of the box = 4 inch

Volume of the box = <em> l</em> × <em>b </em>× h

                               = 12 × 4

Volume of the box = 48 cubic inch

So, 48 cubes can only fit in the box.

Hence, Vijay cannot fit 50 cubes into the box.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about the stepwise selection procedure?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

A. The stepwise selection procedure uses Adjusted R-square as the "best" model criterion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stepwise regression is a model which uses variables in step by step manner. The procedure involves removal or inclusion of independent variables one by one. It adds the most significant independent variable and removes the less significant independent variable. Usually stepwise selection uses R-square or Mallows Cp for picking the best fit.

The equation X squared plus Y squared minus 2X plus 7Y +1 equals zero can be written as which of the following equations
ad-work [718]

For this case we must write in algebraic symbology the expression described above:

We have an equation, then:

  • x squared plus y squared: x ^ 2 + y ^ 2
  • minus 2x plus 7y plus 1: -2x + 7y + 1
  • equals zero: = 0

We construct the equation:

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2-2x + 7y + 1 = 0

Answer:

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2-2x + 7y + 1 = 0
