Hi.

Formula for area: A = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given information:
• l = 2w - 1
• A = 21 in^2

We can plug in our values accordingly and solve for w.

A = 2l + 2w
21 = 2(2w - 1) + 2w
21 = 4w - 2 + 2w
23 = 6w - 2
23 = 6w
3.83 = w

Plug 3.83 for w into 2w - 1 to find length.

2(3.83) - 1
7.66 - 1
6.66

Finally, check your work by plugging your values into the original equation.

21 = 2(6.66) + 2(3.83)
21 = 13.32 + 7.66
21 = 20.98

Answer:
The length is approximately 6.66 inches.

Answer:

CV for A = 21.8%

CV for B = 15.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for coefficient of variation is:

CV = Standard Deviation / Mean

So,

For A:

Mean = Sum/No. of items

= 391300/14

=$27950

and

SD = $6085.31

CV for A = 6085.31/27950 * 100

=21.77%

Rounding off to one decimal

CV for A = 21.8%

For B:

Mean = Sum/No. of items

= 43.58/11

=3.96

and

SD = 0.615

CV for B = 0.615/3.96 * 100

=15.53%

=15.5% ..

Find the slope of a line that passes through the
Doss [256]

Given that,

Point 1 = (-6,9)

Point 2 = (2,9)

To find,

The slope of a line that passes through the given pair.

Solution,

We have,

x₁ = -6, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 9.

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\=\dfrac{9-9}{2-(-6)}\\\\=0

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through the given pair is 0.
