Answer:

square: 12 ft sides
octagon: 6 ft sides

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be worked in your head.

If the perimeters of the square and regular octagon are the same, the side length of the 4-sided square must be the same as the length of 2 sides of the 8-sided octagon. Since the side of the square is 6 ft more than the side of the octagon, each side of the octagon must be 6 ft, and each side of the square must be 12 ft.

__

We can let s represent the side length of the octagon. Then we have ...

8s = perimeter of octagon

4(s +6) = perimeter of square

These are equal, so ...

4(s +6) = 8s

s +6 = 2s . . . . . . divide by 4

6 = s . . . . . . . . . . subtract s

The octagon has 6-ft sides; the square has 12-ft sides.

The one-time fling! Have you ever purchased an article of clothing (dress, sports jacket, etc.), worn the item once to a party,

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$(a)\ P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$(b)\ P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

$(c)\ P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 8$ --- 8 friends

$p = 15\%$ --- proportion that one-time fling

This question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is represented as:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x* p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

Solving (a): P(x = 0) --- None has done one time fling

$P(x = 0) = ^8C_0* (15\%)^0 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1* 1 * (1 - 0.15)^{8}$

$P(x = 0) = 0.85^8$

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

Solving (b): $P(x \ge 1)$

To do this, we make use of compliment rule:

$P(x = 0) + P(x \ge 1) =1$

Rewrite as:

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - P(x = 0)$

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - 0.2725$

$P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

Solving (c): $P(x\le 2)$ --- Not more than 2 has one time fling

This is calculated as:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

We have:

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$P(x = 1) = ^8C_1* (15\%)^1 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-1}$

$P(x = 1) = 8* (0.15) * (1 - 0.15)^7$

$P(x = 1) = 0.3847$

$P(x = 2) = ^8C_2* (15\%)^2 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-2}$

$P(x = 2) = 28* (0.15)^2 * (1-0.15)^6$

$P(x = 2) = 0.2376$

So:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.2725 + 0.3847 + 0.2376$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$

Family traveled 25 miles in 1/2 hour. If it’s currently 3:00 pm and the destination is 225 miles away, what time will they arriv

dangina [55]

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the speed first to find the time it will take the family to complete the trip.

Given

Distance = d = 25 miles

Time = t = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours

$Speed =\frac{d}{t}\\=\frac{25}{0.5}\\=50 miles\ per\ hour$

Now,

Distance remaining = 225 miles

Speed = 50 miles per hour

$s=\frac{d}{t}\\t=\frac{d}{s}\\t=\frac{225}{50}\\t=4.5\ hours$

As we see that the time required to complete the journey is 4.5 hours.

It is currently 03:00 PM, the family will reach at 03:00+4.5 = 07:30 PM

A ball is thrown downward from a cliff. Its position at time t seconds is given by the formula s(t) = 16t2 + 32t, where s is in

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

It takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a position function s(t) where s stands for the number of feet the ball has fallen, so we have to replace s with the given value of 215 ft and solve for the time t.

Setting up the equation.

The motion equation is given by

$s(t) =16t^2+32t$

We can replace there s = 215 ft to get

$215=16t^2+32t$

Solving for the time t.

From the previous equation we can move all terms in one side to get

$16t^2+32t-215=0$

At this point we can solve for t using quadratic formula.

$t = \cfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation

$at^2+bt+c=0$

So we get

$a=16\\b=32\\c=-215$

Replacing on the quadratic formula we get

$t = \cfrac{-32\pm \sqrt{32^2-4(16)(-215)}}{2(16)}$

Using a calculator we get

$t=-4.8 , t = 2.8$

Physically speaking the only result that makes sense is to move forward in time that give us t = 2.8 seconds.

We can conclude that it takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.
