The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. If 2 inches are taken from the length and added to the width, the fig

ure becomes a square with an area of 272.25 sq inches. If the width of the rectangle is x, what is the length of the rectangle in terms of x?

L = W+4 (the length is 4 inches more than length (given))

.

L-2 (if 2 inches are taken from L) and added to the width (W+2) the figure becomes a square.

A square has 4 equal sides.

L-2 = W+2

.

We are told the area of the square is 272.25.

(L-2)(X+2) = 272.25

.

Substituting from L = W+4

(l+4 -2)(w+ 2) = 272.25

(w+2)(w+2) = 272.25

.

Taking the square root

(W+2) = sqrt(272.25) = 16.5

.

Subtracting 2 from both sides

W = 12

and

L = W+4 = 16

.

Is the length 4 more than width? Yes.

If you subtract 2 from length and add 2 to width, and then multiply them, is the result 272.25? Yes.

Done. kindlyrecheck=)

sry if something's wrong ^_^

The length of time before a seed germinates when falling on fertile soil is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 60
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

b. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 600, \sigma = 100

What is the probability that a seed will take more than 720 hours before germinating?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 720. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{720 - 600}{100}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a pvalue of 0.88.

1 - 0.88 = 0.12

So the correct answer is:

b. 0.12

Three friends, Jose, Michael, and Andrea, play a game in which each decides to be either a liar or a truth teller. A liar must a
Rina8888 [55]

This question is based on logic.

As given, there are three friends, Jose, Michael, and Andrea. They are playing a game where each decides to be either a liar or a truth teller. A liar must always lie and a truth teller must always tell the truth.

As Michael stated, "Jose said that he is a liar." this means Michael is a truth teller because as per the game rule, he is telling the truth. So this gives Jose as a liar.

Andrea said, " If one of us is a liar, then we are all liars." This makes Andrea a liar as Michael's statement already proved that he is the truth teller.

Hence, Michael is a truth teller and Jose ans Andrea are liars.

The sum of three consecutive numbers is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. What is the smallest of the three numbers?
gulaghasi [49]

The smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

<h3>How to solve algebraic word problems?</h3>

Let the 3 consecutive integers be;

x, y and z

Thus;

y = x + 1

z = x + 2

Now, we are told that their sum is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. Thus;

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 29

3x + 3 = 4x + 8 - 29

4x - 3x = 3 + 21

x = 24

Thus, we can conclude that the smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.
