Answer:

The Area of the rectangle is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One can use the vertices of the rectangle in coordinate form, by observing that (please see image attached):

(1) the distance between x-coordinates that share the same y-value give the length of the segments that define the horizontal sides of the rectangle,

(2) and the distance between y-coordinates that share the same x-value give the length of the segments that define the vertical sides of the rectangle,

Therefore, as an example of statement (1) above, the distance between the x-coordinates of : (-4,-3) and (-1,-3) which share the same "y-value" -3, is:

| -1 - (-4)| = |-1+4| = |3| = 3 which is the length of the horizontal side of the rectangle (the base of the rectangle).

As an example of statement (2), the distance between the y-coordinates of: ((-1,-3, and (-1,9) which share the same "x-value" -1, is:

| 9-(-3)| = |9+3|=|12|=12 which is the length of the vertical side of the rectangle (the height of the rectangle).

So, the area of the rectangle which is defined as the product of its base times its height, is given by:

Area=base\,*\.height\,= 3\,*\,12\,= 36

Water use in the summer is normally distributed with a mean of 311.4 million gallons per day and a standard deviation of 40 mill
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 0.965

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Water use in the summer is normally distributed with

\mu=311.4\text{ million gallons per day}

\sigma=40 \text{ million gallons per day}

Let X be the random variable that represents the quantity of water required on a particular day.

Z-score : \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\dfrac{350-311.4}{40}=0.965

Now, the probability that a day requires more water than is stored in city reservoirs is given by:-

P(x>350)=P(z>0.965)=1-P(z

We can see that on comparing the above value to the given P(X > 350)= 1 - P(Z < b) , we get the value of b is 0.965.

Joshua has (10+6a^2-5a) dollars in his savings account. Maranda had (4a^2a+3) dollars in her saving account how much more money
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Joshua has 2a^2 -6a + 7 more than Maranda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joshua has 6a^2 -5a + 10 dollars and Maranda has 4a^2 + a + 3 to find out how much more money Joshua has we need to subtract the amount he has by the amount of Maranda's account. Since both expressions are pollynomial we'll have to subtract the numbers wich are multiplying the same power, so we do as follow:

6a^2 - 5a + 10 - (4a^2 + a + 3)

6a^2 - 5a + 10 - 4a^2 -a -3

6a^2 - 4a^2 -5a -a + 10 -3

2a^2 -6a + 7

Joshua has 2a^2 -6a + 7 more than Maranda.

Chang made $156 for 13 hours of work at the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make $108?
sdas [7]

Answer:

  9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

"At the same rate" means time and wages are proportional.

  time/wages = t/$108 = (13 h)/$156

  t = 108(13 h)/156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . units of dollars cancel

  t = 9 h

Chang would have to work 9 hours to make $108.
