The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P = 2(L + W) ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}$

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}$

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}$

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

A line passes through the points (7, 10) and (7, 20). Which statement is true about the line? It has a slope of zero because x 2

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Points:

(7, 10) and (7, 20)

Slope-intercept form:

y= mx+b

slope is:

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (20-10)/(7-7)= 10/0,

denominator of the fraction is zero, we can't divide by zero, so this line has no slope

----------

It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero.

no, numerator is not zero

It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

no, it has no slope

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero.

no, numerator is not zero

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Complete the statement of each of these rules:

never [62]

Answer:

a) (+) × (?) = (+)

(?) = (+)

b) (-) × (+) = ?

? = (-)

c) (?) × (-) = ?

? is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (+) × (?) = (+)

From the given equation in the question, by dividing both side of the equation by (+), we have;

((+) × (?))/(+) = (+)/(+)

(?) = (+)/(+) = (+)

Therefore, we have;

(+) × (+) = (+)

(?) = (+)

b) (-) × (+) = ?

From the given equation in the question we apply the operation rules as follows;

(-) × (-) = (+)

(-) × (+) = (-)

Therefore;

(-) × (+) = ? = (-)

? = (-)

c) (?) × (-) = ?

From the rules of multiplication, we have;

(-) × (-) = (+)

(+) × (-) = (-)

Therefore, when (?) = (-), ? = +, from which we have;

(?) ≠ ?, which is an error

Similarly, when (?) = (+), ? = -, therefore, (?) and ?, always changes sign

Therefore, the equation, (?) × (-) = ?, is undefined.

Answer:

The 92% confidence interval for the true proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones is (0.3336, 0.5064).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
