The area of a rectangle is 28 m', and the length of the rectangle is 1 m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the r

ectangle.

Answer:

8m ×3.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length ×width

Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W meters respectively.

Area of rectangle= LW

LW= 28 -----(1)

L= 2W +1 -----(2)

Subst. (2) into (1):

(2W +1)(W)= 28

<em>Expand:</em>

2W² +W= 28

<em>-28 on both sides:</em>

2W² +W -28= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(W +4)(2W -7)= 0

W +4=0 or 2W -7=0

W= -4 (reject) or W= 3.5

Substitute W= 3.5 into (2):

L= 2(3.5) +1

L= 7 +1

L= 8

∴ The dimensions of the rectangle is 8m ×3.5m.

−1.2(3x − 3) = 4(3x +0.9)<br><br><br> help pls
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

- 1.2(3x - 3) = 4(3x + 0.9) \\  - 3.6x + 3.6 = 12x + 3.6 \\  12x + 3.6x = 3.6 - 3.6 \\ 15.6x = 0 \\  \\ x =  \frac{0}{15.6}  \\  \\ x = 0

I hope I helped you^_^

What does a multiplier/divider outside the function do to the graph?
Morgarella [4.7K]
If the coefficient squared is greater than one (multiplication), it stretches the graph vertically by the factor of the coefficient.

If the coefficient squared is less than one (division), it compresses the graph vertically by the factor of the coefficient.

14. The figure shows a slice of an apple pie in the shape of a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 8cm. A cut is made al
Strike441 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Using the law of cosines, we can find that

cos(O) = \frac{8^{2}+8^{2} - 7^{2}}{8*8*2} ≈ 0.62, so O ≈ 0.9

(ii) Since the whole pie has 2π radians (or 360 degrees), we can divide 0.9 by 2π to get around 6.9 slices from the pie

(iii) The area of the shaded segment can be found by finding sector OAB and subtracting triangle OAB from that. Sector OAB can be found by finding the area of the pie (π*8², since 8 is the radius) and dividing that by 6.9, so we get 64π/6.9 ≈ 29. Then, the area of the triangle is √p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c), with p being the perimeter and a, b, and c being the sides. Plugging 7, 8, and 8 in, we get 25.1781 as our area, so the difference is around 3.8

Can you guys help me? Please and thank you! :)

The theoretical probability is what is expected based on using math. Since there is only one card that is number 1, and there are 400 possible outcomes, then the theoretical probability is 1/400 which is 0.25%.
Now find the experimental probability by find the number of times card 1 is picked, and the number of cards in total. 128/400 = 0.32 which is 32 percent.
The experimental probability is higher than the theoretical probability.
Hope this helps
