Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common multiplier of the given ratio be x.

Therefore,

Number of males = 8x

Number of females = 6x

$8x + 6x = 112 \\ 14x = 112 \\ x = \frac{112}{14} \\ x = 8 \\ number \: of \: males = 8x = 8 \times 8 = 64 \\$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is that a log with the base of 3√(2) ?

If so....my calculator says the answer is 4

Let's see if we can do it w/ou the calculator:

3 sqrt(2)^x = 324 = 3^4 * 2^2 Now 'LOG' both sides:

x log (3 sqrt 2) = log (3^4 *2^2) = 4 log ( 3 * 2^(2/4)) = 4 log (3 sqrt2)

now divide both sides by log (3 sqrt2 )

x = 4 (If I did the math correctly ! )

Determine the lengths of the sides of the rectangle using the given area. Give answers both exactly and

Degger [83]

Answer:

Part a) Exactly values

The width of the rectangle is $\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}\ cm$

The length of the rectangle is $2\sqrt{70}\ cm$

Part b) Approximately values

The width of the rectangle is $4.2\ cm$

The length of the rectangle is $16.7\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=4x\ cm\\W=x\ cm$

substitute the values in the formula

$A=4x(x)$

$A=4x^2$

$A=70\ cm^2$

$70=4x^2$

Solve for x

Divide by 4 both sides

$\frac{70}{4}=x^2$

square root both sides

$x=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}$

The solution is the positive value

$x=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}$

therefore

Exactly values

$L=4\sqrt{70}}{2}=2\sqrt{70}\ cm\\\\W=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}\ cm$

Approximately values

$L=4\sqrt{70}}{2}=16.7\ cm\\\\W=\frac{\sqrt{70}}{2}=4.2\ cm$

Which method will NOT get you to the point (4,3.5)?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

A. Starting at the origin, go 3.5 spaces to the right and then 4 spaces up.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you were to plot this then the point would be (3.5,4) instead of (4,3.5)
