Answer:

The possible values of the perimeter of the rectangle is between 18 and

18.4 cm ⇒ [18 < perimeter of rectangle < 18.4] cm

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The perimeter of any quadrilateral is the sum of the length of its

  four sides

- The rectangle is a quadrilateral with each two opposite sides are

  equal in lengths, then its perimeter = 2l + 2w, where l, w are its

  length and width

∵ The the length of the rectangle is a

∵ 5.4 < a < 5.5 cm

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2a + 2b

- Lets multiply the inequality by 2

∴ 5.4 × 2 < a × 2 < 5.5 × 2

∴ 10.8 < 2a < 11 ⇒ (1)

∵ The width of the rectangle is b

∵ 3.6 < b < 3.7 cm

- Lets multiply the inequality by 2

∴ 3.6 × 2 < b × 2 < 3.7 × 2

∴ 7.2 < 2b < 7.4 ⇒ (2)

- <u><em>Add inequalities (1) and (2)</em></u>

∵     10.8 < 2a < 11

  +   7.2 < 2b < 7.4

∴  18 < 2a + 2b < 18.4

∵ 2a + 2b represents the perimeter of the rectangle

∴ The possible values of the perimeter of the rectangle is between

  18 and 18.4 cm ⇒ [18 < perimeter of rectangle < 18.4] cm

When a certain polynomial is divide by binomial x-3, the result is 4x-5+6/x-3. What is the polynomial
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
\frac{p(x)}{x-3} = 4x-5 + \frac{6}{x-3}

The polynomial p(x) can be found by multiplying 'x-3' to every term
p(x) = (4x-5)(x-3) + 6

Now distribute and you have your answer.
p(x) = 4x^2 -12x-5x+15 +6 \\  \\ p(x) = 4x^2 -17x+21

The number of bags of mulch you need to cover a planting area varies jointly with the area to be mulched (a) in sq ft and the de
Lena [83]

Answer:

  22 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula

   z = kxy

Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.

  n = kad

  10 = k·(120)(1/4)

  10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.

  n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9

  n = 22 2/9

You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.

How many sequences of 0s and 1s of length 19 are there that begin with a 0, end with a 0, contain no two consecutive 0s, and con
sladkih [1.3K]

65 sequences.

Lets solve the problem,

The last term is 0.

To form the first 18 terms, we must combine the following two sequences:

0-1 and 0-1-1

Any combination of these two sequences will yield a valid case in which no two 0's and no three 1's are adjacent

So we will combine identical 2-term sequences with identical 3-term sequences to yield a total of 18 terms, we get:

2x + 3y = 18

Case 1: x=9 and y=0

Number of ways to arrange 9 identical 2-term sequences = 1

Case 2: x=6 and y=2

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 2-term sequences and 2 identical 3-term sequences =8!6!2!=28=8!6!2!=28

Case 3: x=3 and y=4

Number of ways to arrange 3 identical 2-term sequences and 4 identical 3-term sequences =7!3!4!=35=7!3!4!=35

Case 4: x=0 and y=6

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 3-term sequences = 1

Total ways = Case 1 + Case 2 + Case 3 + Case 4 = 1 + 28 + 35 + 1 = 65

Hence the number of sequences are 65.

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

9.1k = 63.7

/9.1     /9.1

k = 7

Check your answer:

9.1k = 63.7

9.1 (7) = 63.7

63.7 = 63.7

This statement is true.

Which of the following statements is true
Tresset [83]
Hello There!

The first statement is incorrect as congruent angles have the same measure but it doesn't have to 45°. It can be any value.
The second one is also incorrect. Congruent angles have the same measure but don't always total to 180° (which is what supplementary means). It would only be true if they are congruent right angles.
The third one is also incorrect as they don't always total to 90° either (Which is what complementary means). 
The fourth one is correct, this is because congruent angles are simply angles with the same measure.

In short, you're answer is 4. Congruent angles always have the same measure. 


Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
