Answer:

The value of x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P = 3 × S, where S is the length of each side

∵ The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches

∴ P = 63 inches

→ By using the rule of the perimeter above

∵ P = 3 × S

→ Equate the right sides of P

∴ 3 × S = 63

→ Divide both sides by 3

∴ S = 21 inches

∴ The length of each side is 21 inches

∵ The length of each side is (4x - 3)

→ Equate (4x - 3) by the length of each side

∴ 4x - 3 = 21

→ Add 3 to both sides

∵ 4x - 3 + 3 = 21 + 3

∴ 4x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x

∴ x = 6

∴ The value of x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample Response: No, the triangle is not possible. The triangle inequality rule states the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. 6 + 4 is 10, which is less than 11.

Find the area of the circle to the nearest whole number, if necessary!

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The circle has an area of about 1385 square mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that circles have an area that can be found with the following formula:

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, focus your eyes on the circle. We are shown that the diameter of this circle is 42 mm, but we only want the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 21 mm. Now, we can solve for the area of the circle.

$A=\pi (21)^2\\A=441\pi \\A=1385.44236...$

So, to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is 1385 square mm.

A random sample of 16 statistics examinations was taken. The average sample score was 76.2 with a sample variance of 144. The 99

dlinn [17]

99% confidence interval for the population average examination score is between a lower limit of 67.35 and an upper limit of 85.05. The correct option is C.

<h3>What is the margin of error in statistics?</h3>

The margin of error is a statistic that describes how much random sampling error there is in survey results. One should have less faith that a poll's findings would accurately reflect those of a population census the higher the margin of error.

The interval will be calculated as below:-

Confidence interval = mean +/- margin of error (E)

mean = 76.2

variance = 144

sd = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(144) = 12

n = 16

Degree of freedom (df) = n - 1 = 16- 1 = 15

Confidence level (C) = 99% = 0.99

Significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01 = 1%

t-value corresponding to 15 df and 1% significance level is 2.95

The margin of error will be:-

E = t×sd/√n = 2.95 × 12/√16 = 8.85

The interval will be:-

Lower limit = mean - E = 76.2 - 8.85 = 67.35

Upper limit = mean + E = 76.2 + 8.85 = 85.05

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval for the population average examination score is between a lower limit of 67.35 and an upper limit of 85.05. The correct option is C.

Explain why their are no solutions to the system of inequalities y ≤2x-5 y ≥2x+1

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Sorry this is late and I think this is right.

They are both parallel, they have the same slope, and do not intersect. If you were to draw a slope out for it, you would find this to be true.

For example: Say the question called for you to explain why there aren't any solutions to these system of inequalities:

y < - 1/2x -3

y > 1/2x + 2

y= -x/2 -3 and y= -x/2 + 2 have the same exact slope, are parallel, and never intersect. The first line is 5 units below the second line when x = 0. Because the lines are parallel, it is always below the second line. The solutions of y < - x/2 -3 are the points in the plane below the first line. The solutions of y > 1/2 + 2 are points above the second line.

I hope this helps you. Good luck on whatever you're working on and stay safe! Please let me know if this helped you or didn't.
