Answer:

The width of the rectangular room =x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 48 meters.

To find: The width of the room.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular room= x meters, then the length of the rectangular room will be = 2x.

Now, Perimeter of rectangular room=2(l+b)

⇒48=2(2x+x)

⇒24=3x

⇒x=8 meters

Then, the width of the rectangular room =x= 8 meters and the breadth of the rectangular room=2x=2(8)=16 meters.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of thw room be L and the width be W. If the rectangular room is twice as long as it is wide then L = 2W.

The formula for perimeter of a triangle will be addition of all the sides of the rectangle.

Since we have two sides and 2 width in a rectangle, the perimeter;

P = L+L+W+W

P = 2L+2W

Given perimeter = 48m

48 = 2L+2W

Substituting L = 2W into the equation gives;

48 = 2(2W)+2W

48 = 4W+2W

48 = 6W

W = 48/6

W = 8m

Therefore the width of the rectangular room will be 8m

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\mu=144\ \ ; \sigma=392$

Let x be the random variable that represents the cost for the hospital emergency room visit.

We assume that cost for the hospital emergency room visit is normally distributed .

z-score for x=1000 ,

$z=\dfrac{1000-1400}{392}\approx-1.02\ \ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]$

Using z-value table , we have

P-value =P(x>1000)=P(z>-1.02)=1-P(z≤ -1.02)=1-0.1538642

=0.8461358≈0.8461 [Rounded nearest 4 decimal places]

Hence, the probability that the cost will be more than $1000 = 0.8461

What happens to the volume of a square pyramid if the base dimensions remain the same, but the height is cut to one third of the

Nadya [2.5K]

The volume becomes 1/3 of the original. With a rectangular base, volume of a pyramid is V=(length*width*height)/3. Cutting the height to 1/3 of the original length will make the total volume 1/3 of the original volume.

Find the following probabilities based on the standard normal variable Z. (You may find it useful to reference the z table

hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. P(Z > 1.12) = 1-N(1.12) = 1-0.8686431=0.1313569

b. P(Z S-2.35) => P(Z <= 2.35) = 0.009386706

(please check interpretation of question b)

c. POSZ s 1.34) => P(0 <= Z <= 1.34) = 0.9098773 - 0.5 = 0.4098773

(please check interpretation of question c)

d. P(-0.8 sz s 2.44) => P(-0.8 <= 2.44) = 0.9926564 - 0.2118554 = 0.780801
