Answer:

4512 handshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question, that there are

96 people in the room = 48 couples

Assuming that no husband or wife shakes each others hand but everyone else shakes hands exactly once

This means

48 couples will shake 94 people because they are excluded

This is calculated as

48 × 94 = 4512 handshakes

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than the width. The area is 33 square inches. Find the length and width . Round to th
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

the length and width . Round to the nearest tenth are 8.8 inches and 3.8 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area A of a rectangle is the product of the length L and width W. This may be expressed mathematically as

A = L * W

As such, given that the length is 5 inches more than the width,

L = W + 5

33 = W(W + 5)

W² + 5W  - 33 = 0

Using the formula method which states that

s = -b±√(b²-4ac)/2a

W = -5 ± √5² - 4(1)(-33)/2

= -5 ± 12.53/2

= 7.53/2 (since length cannot be negative)

= 3.755 inches

L = 3.755 + 5

= 8.755 inches
