Answer:

L=2.3\ ft\\W=1.9\ ft\\H=1.7\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a portable kennel (rectangular prism) is equal to

V=LWH

where

L=(x+0.4)\ ft\\W=x\ ft\\H=(x-0.2)\ ft

V=7.4\ ft^3

substitute the given values in the formula of volume

7.4=(x+0.4)(x)(x-0.2)

Apply distributive property right side

7.4=x(x^2-0.2x+0.4x-0.08)

7.4=x(x^2+0.2x-0.08)

7.4=x^3+0.2x^2-0.08x

x^3+0.2x^2-0.08x-7.4=0

Solve the cubic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is x=1.9

see the attached figure

Find the dimensions

substitute the value of x

L=(1.9+0.4)=2.3\ ft\\W=1.9\ ft\\H=(1.9-0.2)=1.7\ ft

A gas at standard temperature and pressure was measured as having a mass of 1485 grams (g) in a volume of 750 liters (L). Which
tangare [24]

Answer:

Here we will use the relation:

Density = mass/volume.

We know that:

Mass = 1485g

Volume = 750L

Density = 1485g/750L = 1.98 g/L

We do not have the options in order to select the correct one, but knowing this density, we can suppose the possible gases.

Two "common" gases with densities similar to this one are:

Carbon Dioxide, with d = 1.977 g/L

Dinitrogen Monoxide, with d = 1.977 g/L

In both cases, if we round up we will get the same density that we calculated at the beginning, so either of these can be the correct option.

Answer:

The standard deviation of the age distribution is 6.2899 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the standard deviation is:

SD=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{(x_{i}-\bar x)^{2}}}

The data provided is:

X = {19, 19, 21, 25, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 40}

Compute the mean of the data as follows:

\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{x_{i}}

  =\frac{1}{11}\times [19+19+21+...+40]\\\\=\frac{299}{11}\\\\=27.182

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

SD=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{(x_{i}-\bar x)^{2}}}

      =\sqrt{\frac{1}{11-1}\times [(19-27.182)^{2}+(19-27.182)^{2}+...+(40-27.182)^{2}]}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{395.6364}{10}}\\\\=6.28996\\\\\approx 6.2899

Thus, the standard deviation of the age distribution is 6.2899 years.

Find the area of the shape, show work pls ill give brainiest
andre [41]

Answer:

6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.

Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.

To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

Base_{total}  = Base_{empty} + Base_{orange}  \\Base_{total} = 1.9ft + 3.1 ft\\Base_{total} = 5 ft

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.

Now the total area can be calculated:

Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total

Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft  

Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared

Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared

Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
