The Pigeonhole Principle espouses that if there are more objects than the places the objects are supposed to fit into, some of those places will have more than one object. For instance, if there are 20 pigeons and only 19 pigeonholes, one pigeonhole will have more than one pigeon.
If one hundred people in your neighbourhood leave between 7:30 and 8:00 A.M. and arrive 30 minutes later that means they will arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 A.M. This means that 100 people will have to arrive in 30 minutes.
We would have to fit 100 people in 30 minutes. The minutes are the pigeonholes and the people are the pigeons. There will therefore be a situation where at least 2 people will arrive at the same minute because there are many more people than minutes for them to arrive in.
If you look at the data values, you'll notice that there are three , and the only line plot that depicts this is choice C, so that is the correct answer.
X can stand for the width. 2x can stand for the length since it is twice the width. The perimeter would then equal 6x. 6x is equal to 36. Divide by 6 to isolate x. X equals 6 inches. So twice the width would be 12 inches.
