A cuboid with a volume of 924cm^3 has dimensions

Leona [35]

The values of x are -22 and 10

The dimensions are 4 cm , 11 cm , 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A cuboid with a volume of 924 cm³
It has dimensions 4 cm , (x + 1) cm and (x + 11) cm

We want to show that x² + 12x - 220 = 0, and solve the equation to find its dimensions

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its three dimensions

∵ The dimensions of the cuboid are 4 , (x + 1) , (x + 11)

∴ Its volume = 4(x + 1)(x + 11)

- Multiply the two brackets and then multiply the product by 4

∵ (x + 1)(x + 11) = (x)(x) +(x)(11) + (1)(x) + (1)(11)

∴ (x + 1)(x + 11) = x² + 11x + x + 11 ⇒ add like terms

∴ (x + 1)(x + 11) = x² + 12x + 11

∴ Its volume = 4(x² + 12x + 11)

∴ Its volume = 4x² + 48x + 44

∵ The volume of the cuboid = 924 cm³

- Equate the expression of the volume by 924

∴ 4x² + 48x + 44 = 924

- Subtract 924 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 48x - 880 = 0

- Simplify it by dividing all terms by 4

∴ x² + 12x - 220 = 0

Now let us factorize it into two factors

∵ x² = x × x

∵ 220 = 22 × 10

∵ 22(x) - 10(x) = 12x ⇒ the middle term

∴ x² + 12x - 220 = (x + 22)(x - 10)

∴ (x + 22)(x - 10) = 0

- Equate each factor by 0 to find x

∵ x + 22 = 0 ⇒ subtract 22 from both sides

∴ x = -22

∵ x - 10 = 0 ⇒ add 10 to both sides

∴ x = 10

∴ The values of x are -22 and 10

We can not use x = -22 because there is no negative dimensions, then we will use x = 10

∵ The dimensions are 4 , (x + 1) , (x + 11)

∵ x = 10

∴ The dimensions are 4 , (10 + 1) , (10 + 11)

∴ The dimensions are 4 cm , 11 cm , 21 cm

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLEIST

Answer:

25 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of millimeters for 160 kilometers

$\frac{5}{32}$ = $\frac{x}{160}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

32x = 800

x = 25

So, 25 millimeters represent 160 kilometers

At a university, 60% of the 7,400 students are female. The student newspaper reports the results of a survey of a random sample

omeli [17]

Given Information:

Population mean = p = 60% = 0.60

Population size = N = 7400

Sample size = n = 50

Required Information:

Sample mean = μ = ?

standard deviation = σ = ?

Answer:

Sample mean = μ = 0.60

standard deviation = σ = 0.069

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution is approximately normal as long as the expected number of successes and failures are equal or greater than 10

np ≥ 10

50*0.60 ≥ 10

30 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

n(1 - p) ≥ 10

50(1 - 0.60) ≥ 10

50(0.40) ≥ 10

20 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

The mean of the sampling distribution will be same as population mean that is

Sample mean = p = μ = 0.60

The standard deviation for this sampling distribution is given by

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$

Where p is the population mean that is proportion of female students and n is the sample size.

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(0.40)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.24}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{0.0048} }\\\\\sigma = 0.069$

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.069.

Which of these numbers of simulations of an event would be most likely to produce results that are closest to those predicted by

LuckyWell [14K]

C. 80 simulations would be the most likely to reproduce results predicted by probability theory. Due to the law of large numbers, as the number of trials increase, the actual ratio of outcomes will converge on the theoretical, or expected, ratio of outcomes.
