Tomas drew a rectangular with an area of 6 square centimeters. What is the greatest possible perimeter for this rectangle

There is no "greatest" possible perimeter.

There's a smallest possible perimeter.  That's a square.
Since the area is 6 square centimeters, each side of the square is
√6 = about 2.45 cm, and the perimeter is about  9.8 cm (rounded).

But there's no 'greatest' perimeter.  You can take that square
and if you're careful, you can make it into rectangles that all have
the same area ... 6 square cm ... but the longer and skinnier
you make it, the greater the perimeter will be. 
You can give me a number as big as you want, and I can make
a rectangle with a perimeter of your number, but an area of only
6 square centimeters !

Here are some few examples.  They all have
the same area, but different perimeters:

2.45 cm by 2.45 cm ...   Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 9.8 cm

2 cm by 3 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 10 cm
1.5 cm by 4 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 11 cm
1.2 cm by 5 cm ...           Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12.4 cm
1 cm by 6 cm ...              Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 14 cm
0.8 cm by 7.5 cm ...        Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 16.6 cm
0.6 cm by 10 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 21.2 cm
0.5 cm by 12 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 25 cm
0.4 cm by 15 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 30.8 cm
0.3 cm by 20 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 40.6 cm
0.2 cm by 30 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 60.4 cm
0.1 cm by 60 cm ...         Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 120.2 cm

0.001cm by 6,000cm ... Area = 6 square cm ... Perimeter = 12,000.2 cm

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (3, -1) and (-1, 5)? y = - 2y = -3x + 7 2x + 3y -
Karolina [17]

The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:

5+1

m = ---------- = -3/2

-1-3

We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:

-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.

The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.

You can drag in the first empty box ∡3 and get ∡2≅∡3.

In the second box you can drag '' definition of angle bisector ''.

In the third empy box you can drag ∡1 and get ∡1≅∡3.

At last empy box you can drag ''transitive property of congruence''

Good luck!!!

Question:
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The probability that a ship that is declared defecive is sound is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(A|B) denote the conditional probability of A given B. We will make use of the equation

P(A|B) = P(A) × P(B|A) / P(B)

We have the probabilities:

  • P(Declared Defective (detected) | Defective) = 0.95
  • P(not Detected | Defective) = 1-0.95=0.05
  • P(Declared Sound | Sound) = 0.97
  • P(Declared Defective |Sound) = 1-0.97=0.03
  • P(Defective)=0.05
  • P(Sound)= 1- 0.05 = 0.95

We can calculate:

P(Declared Defective)= P(Detected | Defective)×P(Defective) + P(Declared Defective |Sound) ×P(Sound) = 0.95×0.05 + 0.03×0.95=0.076

P(S | Declared Defective) =

(P(Sound) × P(Declared Defective | Sound)) / P(Declared Defective)

=0.95×0.03 /0.076 =0.375

lakkis [162]

Answer:

-52

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value is always positive and so 33 would remain 33, but -52 would change to 52 which is greater than 33.
