Answer:

  66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the measures of <em>all</em> of the sides. There are two side measures that are missing from the diagram.

The missing horizontal measure is ...

  17 m - 8 m = 9 m

The missing vertical measure is ...

  16m -7 m = 9 m.

If you add these to the sum you already calculated, you will get the correct answer:

  48 m + 9 m + 9 m = 66 m . . . perimeter of the figure

_____

If you're paying attention, you see that the sum of the measures of the two shorter horizontal segments is the same as the measure of the longer horizontal segment. Likewise, the sum of the measurements of the two shorter vertical segments is the same as that of the longer vertical segment.

In other words, the perimeter of this (and any) L-shaped figure is the same as the perimeter of a rectangle having the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as the long sides of the figure.

  P = 2(17 m +16 m) = 2(33 m) = 66 m

Determine whether the following value is a continuous random variable, discrete random variable, or not a random variable.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a. The number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs: is a discrete random variable.

b. The usual mode of transportation of people in City Upper A: is not a random variable because its outcome isn't numerical.

c. The number of statistics students now doing their homework: is a discrete random variable.

d. The number of home runs in a baseball game: is a discrete random variable.

e. The exact time it takes to evaluate 67 plus 29: is a continuous random variable.

f. The height of a randomly selected person: is a continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable often used in statistics and probability, is a variable that has its possible values as numerical outcomes of a random experiment or phenomenon. It is usually denoted by a capital letter, such as X.

In statistics and probability, random variables are either continuous or discrete.

1. A continuous random variable is a variable that has its possible values as an infinite value, meaning it cannot be counted.

Example are the height of a randomly selected person, time it take to move from Texas to New York city, etc.

2. A discrete random variable is a variable that has its possible values as a finite value, meaning it can be counted.

Examples are the number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs, the number of chicken in a district etc.

BRAINLIEST AND FIVE STARS TO CORRECT ANSWER
Llana [10]
The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.

We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.

Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.

Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.

I hope this helps!

(-1/3) to the power of five?
Bumek [7]

\bf \left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)^5\implies \left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\implies -\cfrac{1^5}{3^5}\implies -\cfrac{1}{243}


recall minus * minus * minus * minus * minus is minus.
