Answer:

length of the rectangle is 19 cm and the width of the rectangle is 8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2 W

Where:

L = length and W = width

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 54 cm

Its length is 3 more than twice its width.

2L + 2W = 54 .... Equation 1

"length is 3 more than twice its width."

L = 2W + 3.....Equation 2

Substituting 2W + 3 for L

We have:

2L + 2W = 54 .... Equation 1

2(2W + 3) + 2W = 54

4W + 6 + 2W = 54

6W = 54 - 6

6W = 48

W = 48/6

W = 8cm

L = 2W + 3.....Equation 2

L = 2(8) + 3

L = 16 + 3

L = 19 cm

Therefore:

length of the rectangle is 19 cm and the width of the rectangle is 8 cm.

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 19 of them play basketball and 12 of them play baseball. There are 8 students who p
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is  \frac{23}{30} or 0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in the class = 30

Number of students who plays basket ball = 19

Number of students who plays base ball = 12

Number of students who plays base both the games = 8

To find:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball=?

Solution:

P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)---------------(1)

where

P(A) = Probability of choosing  a student playing basket ball

P(B) =  Probability of choosing  a student playing base ball

P(A \cap B) =  Probability of choosing  a student playing both the games

<u>Finding  P(A)</u>

P(A) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing basket ball }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(A) = \frac{19}{30}--------------------------(2)

<u>Finding  P(B)</u>

P(B) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing baseball }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(B) = \frac{12}{30}---------------------------(3)

<u>Finding P(A \cap B)</u>

P(A) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing both games }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(A) = \frac{8}{30}-----------------------------(4)

Now substituting (2), (3) , (4) in (1), we get

P(A \cup B)= \frac{19}{30} + \frac{12}{30} -\frac{8}{30}

P(A \cup B)= \frac{31}{30} -\frac{8}{30}

P(A \cup B)= \frac{23}{30}

Membership to a national running club is shown in the table. Which answer describes the average rate of change from Year 3 to Ye
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from Year 3 to Year 5 will be given by the slope of the line joining the points;

(3, 96.8) and (5, 83.6)

The slope of a line given two points is calculated as;

( change in y)/( change in x)

In this case y is the number of members for a given year x.

average rate of change = (83.6-96.8)/(5-3)

                                        = -6.6

Since the number of members is given in thousands, we have;

-6,600

The negative sign implies a decrease in the number of members. Therefore, membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5
