The height of a parallelogram is 5 feet more than it's base. If the area of the parallelogram is 204 square feet, what is its ba

siniylev [52]

The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

$x(x+5)=204 \\
x^2+5x=204 \\
x^2+5x-204=0 \\
x^2+17x-12x-204=0 \\
x(x+17)-12(x+17)=0 \\
(x-12)(x+17)=0 \\
x-12=0 \ \lor \ x+17=0 \\
x=12 \ \lor \ x=-17$

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

$\hbox{the base:} \\ x=12 \\ \\
\hbox{the height:} \\ x+5=12+5=17$

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.

Carmen saved 592 pennies. Her sister saved 128 pennies. Together, they put 250 pennies in wrappers and took them to the bank. Wh

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

500 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Carmen saved 592 pennies.

Her sister saved 128 pennies.

Together, they put 250 pennies in wrappers and took them to the bank

We need to find out the total number of pennies Carmen and her sister have left

So,

= 592 pennies + 128 pennies - 250 pennies

= 470 pennies

= 500 pennies

The amount of time a certain brand of light bulb lasts is normally distribued with a mean of 1800 hours and a standard deviation

DedPeter [7]

Answer: 68% of light bulbs last between 1765 hours and 1835 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 1800 hours and the standard deviation is 35 hours.

1 standard deviation = 1 × 35 = 35

1800 - 35 = 1765 hours

1800 + 35 = 1835 hours

Therefore, 68% of light bulbs last between 1765 hours and 1835 hours.

About 1.2 million people live in a region with a 6-mile radius what is the population destiny in people per square mile

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

10616 people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of people living in the region = 1.2 million

Radius of the area = 6 mile

Since radius of region is given, area of can be calculated by using formula to get area of circle which is $\pi r^2$ where r is radius of circle.

the value of pie is 3.14 which will be used in the calculation

Area of region

$\pi r^2 \\=> 3.14 * 6^2\\=> 113.04$

population density of any place is calculated by dividing the total population of region with area of the region

mathematically it can be written as

population density of any place = the total population of region / area of the region

substituting the value of total population of region with 1.2 million and area of the region as calculated 113.04 square mile we have

population density of any place = 1.2 million/113.04 square mile

= 0.0106157113 million / square mile

Since one million is equal to 1,000,000

0.0106157113 million will be equal to 0.0106157113 * 1,000,000

= 10615.7113

rounding 10615.7113 nearest to unit value, it will be 10616.

Therefore, population density is 10616 people per square mile.
