A square has a side length of x inches. Each side of the square will be increased by 8 inches to create a larger square. If the

larger square has a perimeter of 40 inches, what is the side length, in
inches of the original square?

X = 2

A square has 4 sides. To get the perimeter of a square, you could multiply the length of one side by 4.

One side of the larger triangle is x inches plus an additional 8 inches, which can be written as (x+8)

To get the perimeter of the larger square, multiply the expression (x+8) by 4. The question states the larger square’s perimeter is 40 inches.

You end up with this equation: 4(x + 8) = 40

To solve first distribution 4 into (x + 8).
4x + 32 = 40 | subtract 32 from both sides
4x = 8 | divide each side by 4
x = 2 inches

So the side length of the original square is 2 inches. To check your work, go back and plug x = 2 into the original equation. 8 in + 2 in = 10 inches, and 10 inches x 4 = 40 inches, so x = 2 is the solution

vDetermine if a Poisson experiment is described, and select the best answer: Suppose we knew that the average number of typos in
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is

P(x=0) = e^{-0.08} = 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Poisson distribution</u>:-

Explanation of the Poisson distribution :-

The Poisson distribution can be derived as a limiting case of the binomial

distribution under the conditions that

i) p is very small

ii) n is very large

ii) λ = np (say finite

The probability of 'r' successes = \frac{e^{-\alpha }\alpha^r  }{r!}

Given the average number of typos ∝ = 0.08 per page.

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is = p(x=0) = \frac{e^{-0.08 }\(-0.08)^0  }{0!}

After calculation P(x=0) = e^{-0.08} = 0.923

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos =0.923

Which of the following equations represents the perpendicular bisector of WX graphed below?
kotykmax [81]
The coordinates of the 2 given points are W(-5, 2), and X(5, -4).

First, we find the midpoint M using the midpoint formula:

\displaystyle{ M_{WX}= (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},  \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )=  (\frac{-5+5}{2},  \frac{2+(-4)}{2} )=(0, -1).

Nex, we find the slope of the line containing M, perpendicular to WX. We know that if m and n are the slopes of 2 parallel lines, then mn=-1.

The slope of WX is \displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{2-(-4)}{-5-5}= \frac{6}{-10}= -\frac{3}{5}.

Thus, the slope n of the perpendicular line is \displaystyle{  \frac{5}{3}.

The equation of the line with slope \displaystyle{ n= \frac{5}{3} containing the point M(0, -1) is given by:

\displaystyle{ y-(-1)=\frac{5}{3}(x-0)

\displaystyle{ y+1= \frac{5}{3}x

\displaystyle{ 3y+3=5x

\displaystyle{ 5x-3y-3=0

Answer: 5x-3y-3=0

When k=7 and q=35 find the value of p in direct proportion method
Arisa [49]
I think the answer is 5.

y = kx is the equation for direct proportionality. I’m guessing your “q” is the “y”, because 35 is easily divisible by 7.

35 = 7x
x = 5
