Answer:

The width is 24.5in

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangular yoga mat can be found using the formula;

P=2l+2w.

\Rightarrow 179=2l+2w...(1).

It was given that the width of the mat is eight less than half the length.

w=\frac{1}{2}l-8...(2)

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

179=2l+2(\frac{1}{2}l-8).

\Rightarrow 179=2l+l-16.

\Rightarrow 179+16=2l+l.

\Rightarrow 3l=195

Divide both sides by 3;

l=65

We put l=65 into equation 2 to get;

w=\frac{1}{2}\times65-8

w=32.5-8

w=24.5in

Find the value of a. Then find the angle measures of the quadrilateral.
sweet [91]

Answer:

a = 60°

60°, 60°, 120°, and 120°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

Therefore:

a° + a° + 2a° + 2a° = 360°

Add like terms

6a = 360

Divide both sides by 6

a = 60

2a = 2(60) = 120°.

Angle measure from least to greatest are 60°, 60°, 120°, and 120°.

There are 95 white pieces of paper in a hat along with 5 blue pieces of paper. What is the theoretical probability that a blind-
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event taking place.

-Given there are 95 white and 5 blue pieces, the total number of papers is 100.

-The theoretical first attempt probability is equivalent to the number of each paper divided by the total:

P(blue)= \frac{no \ of \ blue}{total}\\\\=\frac{5}{100}\\\\=0.05

Hence, the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt is 0.05 or 5%

It says ( Find the length of the hypotenuse )<br> ~<br> Pls?<br> Thanks!
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use Pythagorem Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2)

When using the pythagorem theorem the hypoteneuse would be the c^2 and the two other sides would be a and b (the order doesn't matter).

So, our formula would be:

4^2+3^2=c^2

Simplifies into:

25=c^2

In order to remove the exponent 2, we would have to square root both sides by 2. After doing so, you get the answer 5.

Hope this helps! :)
