A D C B

AC=3

AD = 1.5 since D is the midpoint

DC = 1.5

C is the midpoint DB then DC=CB

since DC=1.5 then CB=1.5

AB=AD + DC+CB

AB = 1.5 + 1.5+1.5

AB = 4.5cm

A heptagon has unequal sides that are in a pattern. Each side is 2 more than twice the side of the smaller one before it. Write

bixtya [17]

Heptagon has unequal sides and each side is 2 more than twice the side of the smaller one before it.

Heptagon is a 2 dimensional geometric shape that has got 7 sides.

Lets say the length of smallest side is 'x' units.

Length of the second side will be 2 more than twice the smaller side so the side length will be:

$2\times x+2=2x+2$

Now the length of the third side will be 2 more than twice the second side that is:

$2(2 \times x+2)+2=2(2x+2)+2=4x+4+2=4x+6$

Similarly, length of the fourth side will be:

$2(4x+6)+2=8x+12+2=8x+14$

Similarly, length of the fifth side will be:

$2(8x+14)+2=16x+28+2=16x+30$

Again, length of the sixth side will be

$2(16x+30)+2=32x+60+2=32x+62$

And the length of the seventh side will be

$2(32x+62)+2=64x+124+2=64x+126$

Now, perimeter of any geometric shape is the sum of the lengths of the sides:

Adding all the sides we get:

$x+(2x+2)+(4x+6)+(8x+14)+(16x+30)+(32x+62)+(64x+126)$

$=x+2x+2+4x+6+8x+14+16x+30+32x+62+64x+126$

$=127x+240$

Therefore, the expression for the perimeter of the required heptagon is $127x+240$ .

The price of a gallon of milk follows a normal distribution with a mean of $3.20 and a standard deviation of $0.10. What proport

Inga [223]

Answer:

$P(x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean $\=x=\$3.20$

Standard deviation $\sigma =\$0.10$

Estimated price $y=\$3.12$

Generally the equation for P(x<3.12) is mathematically given by

$P(x$

Since from Z table

$P(x$

Therefore the proportion of the milk vendors that have prices that were less than $3.12 per gallon is

$P(x$

Sally is having a problem with her puppy leaving the yard so she decides to build a new fence. The length of the yard is 8 feet

Rufina [12.5K]

Please check the attached file for the diagram of Sally's yard.

Let $w$ be the width of the yard.

Let $l$ be the length.

We are given that the length of the yard is 8 feet more than 4 times the width. Let us convert this into a mathematical equation.

4 times the width will be $4w$ . Now, 8 feet, or 8 more than 4 times the width will be $4w+8$ . We know that this is the value of the length of the yard and thus we can write this as:

$l=4w+8$

As we can see we have found the relationship between the length, $l$ and the width, $w$ of the yard.

We have been told that the total length of the fence required for the yard is 106 feet. This obviously means that the perimeter of the rectangular yard is 106 feet.

Now, we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter= $2(l+w)=2((4w+8)+w)$ this is because we know that the length, $l$ is given by $l=4w+8$ .

Continuing further we get:

$106=8w+16+2w=10w+16$ This is because Perimeter=length of the fence=106 (given)

Therefore, $10w=90$

or, $w=9$ so, we just now found the width of the yard which is 9 feet. We are required to find the length. We can easily find the length using the relationship between $w$ and $l$ which is:

$l=4w+8$ giving us:

$l=4\times9+8=44$

Thus the length of the fence is 44 feet.
