Answer:
Area of the shaded region= 
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the shaded region= Area of the triangle- Area of the rectangle
Dimensions of the triangle:
Base= 40 inch
Height= 40 inch
Area of a triangle=

Area of the rectangle= Length*Width
Length=30 inch
Width=10 inch
Area:

Area of the shaded region= 
The answer is 4/3 and I checked two times
Answer:
The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean of 1060, standard deviation of 195.
Empirical Rule to estimate the approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865.
865 = 1060 - 195
So 865 is one standard deviation below the mean.
Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 100 - 68 = 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that approximately 32/2 = 16% are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean and approximately 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean. So
The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.
Answer:
no. see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This much of Josh's working is correct:
x^2-6x=7
x^2-6x+9=7+9
(x-3)^2=16
At this point Josh apparently overlooked the fact that he needed to take the square root of both sides of the equation. Had he done that, he would have ...
x -3 = ±4
x = 3+4 . . . or . . . 3 -4
x = 7 or -1
_____
Josh reported values of x that would match ...
x -3 = ±16
He <em>violated the equal sign</em> by taking the square root on the left, and multiplying by ±1 on the right. Doing different operations on the two sides of the equation will mean the value of x is changed to something other than what you're looking for.
