Answer: 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students that signed up for chemistry and algebra

two is 386.

Let x represent the number of students that signed up for both chemistry and algebra two

If 209 students signed up for algebra two, then the number of students that signed up for algebra two only is

209 - x

If 300 need to have signed up for chemistry, then the number of students that need to have signed up for chemistry only is 300 - x

Therefore,

x + 209 - x + 300 - x = 386

- x + 509 = 386

x = 509 - 386

x = 123

If 123 students would be signed up for both courses, then the probability that a student chosen at random from the 386 will be signed up for both of the courses is

123/386 × 100 = 32%

Un jardín rectangular de 50 cm de largo por 34 m de ancho está rodeado por un camino de arena uniforme.Halla la anchura de dicho
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

5.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the sand road can be calculated knowing its area and the dimensions of the rectangular garden as follows:

A_{g} = a.b

<u>Where:</u>

Ag: is the area of the rectangular garden

a: is the length of the rectangular garden = 50 cm = 0.5 m

b: is the width of the rectangular garden = 34 m

A_{s} = 540 m^{2}

<u>Where</u>:

As: is the area of the sand road

The relation between the area of the sand road and the area of the rectangular garden is the following:

A_{s} + A_{g} = (a+2x)*(b+2x)

540 m^{2} + 0.5m*34m = ab + 2ax + 2bx + 4x^{2}

557 m^{2} = ab + 2x(a + b) + 4x^{2}

557 m^{2} - 17m^{2} - 2x(34.5 m) - 4x^{2} = 0

540 - 69x - 4x^{2} = 0                              

By solving the above equation for x we have two solutions:

x₁ = -23.10 m

x₂ = 5.85 m

Taking the positive value, we have that the width of the sand road is 5.85 m.

I hope it helps you!

Find the area and perimeter.
lara [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle =  4x - 3 + x + 9 + 8

                                   = <u>4x + x</u> -<u> 3 + 9 + 8</u>

                                  = 5x + 14

Area  = \frac{1}{2}*base *height

         = \dfrac{1}{2}*8*3x\\\\= 4 * 3x\\\\= 12x
