A rectangular plot of ground is 5 meters longer than it is wide, It’s area is 20,000 square meters
1 answer:
I'm assuming you're looking for the dimensions of the plot. I'm going with that. ;) If the length of the plot is 5 meters longer than the width, then L = w + 5. The area for a rectangle is L*w, and we have an area value of 20,000 so our formula is 20000=(w+5)(w) and 
. We will bring the 20,000 over by subtraction and set the polynomial equal to 0 to factor and solve for w. 
Solving for w we get values of w=138.9 and -143.9. Of course the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -143.9 is out. Our width is 138.9 and the length is 138.9 + 5 so the length is 143.9. And there you go! Hope that's what you needed!

Answer:
The first option (5.7km)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a right angle triangle and we know two of its sides we can easily find out the thirds side (the value of d) by using the Pathagoras Theorem. In our case 7 and d are our legs and the hypotenuse is equal to 9, so...
(Based on the Pathagoras Theorem)
d ≈ 5.7km
There for aproximate distance across the lake is equal to 5.7km
Answer:
p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )
= 1 - 0.072806
= 0.9272
This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
51% of male voters preferred a Republican candidate
sample size = 5490
To win the vote one needs ≈ 2746 votes
In order to advice Gallup appropriately lets consider this as a binomial distribution
n = 5490
p = 0.51
q = 1 - 0.51 = 0.49
Hence > 5 while
< 5
we will consider it as a normal distribution
From the question :
number of male voters who prefer republican candidate ( mean ) ( u )
= 0.51 * 5490 = 2799.9
std = =
= 37.0399 ---- ( 1 )
determine the Z-score = (x - u ) / std ---- ( 2 )
x = 2746 , u = 2799.9 , std = 37.0399
hence Z - score = - 1.4552
hence
p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )
= 1 - 0.072806
= 0.9272
This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner
