Answer:

The perimeter of other rectangles are 50, 28, 22 units

The area of all possible rectangles are same and equals to 24 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Orbet used 24 square tiles to make a rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 units.

To find -  What would be the perimeters of the other rectangles Orbet could make using only these 24 tiles? How do the areas of the rectangles compare?

Proof -

We know that

Are of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

And Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth )

Now,

Given that,

Orbet used 24 square tiles

And perimeter of the rectangle made = 20

So,

Possible Length of rectangle = 6

Possible breadth of Rectangle = 4

Or Vice-versa.

Total number of Rectangles possible = 4

Possibilities are -  1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6

Case I :

Length of rectangle = 1

Breadth of rectangle = 24

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(1 + 24) = 2(25) = 50 units

Area of rectangle = 1 × 24 = 24 unit²

Case II :

Length of rectangle = 2

Breadth of rectangle = 12

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(2 + 12) = 2(14) = 28 units

Area of rectangle = 2 × 12 = 24 unit²

Case III :

Length of rectangle = 3

Breadth of rectangle = 8

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(3 + 8) = 2(11) = 22 units

Area of rectangle = 3 × 8 = 24 unit²

Case IV :

Length of rectangle = 4

Breadth of rectangle = 6

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(4 + 6) = 2(10) = 20 units

Area of rectangle = 4 × 6 = 24 unit²

∴ we get

The perimeter of other rectangles are 50, 28, 22 units

The area of all possible rectangles are same and equals to 24 unit²

Which statement describes the system of equations?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-4y=-4  ...(1)

25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2)

multiply (1) by -5 you have : 25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2) same equation , same line

so : The system has infinitely solutions.

The hire purchase price of a fridge is 16400. 25% is paid as deposit, the rest is spread over 12 equally monthly instalments. If
Flauer [41]

Answer: a. 13120

b. 4100

c. 1025

d. 3280

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) find the costs price of the fridge

Since the cash price is 20% less the hire purchase price, then the cost of the fridge will be:

= (100% - 20%) × 16400

= 80% × 16400

= 0.8 × 16400

= 13120

(b) calculate the deposit

Since 25% is paid as deposit, the deposit will be:

= 25% × 16400

= 0.25 × 16400

= 4100

(c) what is the monthly installments

Monthly installments will be:

= (16400 - 4100)/12

= 12300/12

= 1025

(d) what is the differences between the cash price and the hire purchase price.

This will be:

Hire purchase price = 16400

Cash price = 13120

= 16400 - 13120

= 3280

Whats the Axis of Symmetry? willing to give 15 points !!
nydimaria [60]

The axis of symmetry of a parabola in the form

y=ax^2+bx+c

is a vertical line

x=k

where k is the x coordinate of the vertex of the parabola.

The x coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is given by

-\dfrac{b}{2a}

which in your case is

-\dfrac{-6}{2\cdot \frac{1}{4}}=\dfrac{6}{\frac{1}{2}}=6\cdot 2=12

So, the axis of symmetry is the line x=12.

Why are quartiles generally more reliable for judging outliers than mean and standard deviation?
lesya [120]
<span>Quartiles are generally more reliable for judging outliers than mean and standard deviations for 2 reasons. The mean is simply the average of all of the numbers, meaning that an outlier can easily be obscured by the masses. Standard deviation is a better method, however only going over by one standard deviation in either direction would also mask an outlier. A strong outlier however will pull a quartile farther in that direction than would normally be expected.</span>
