Mathematics

lana [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Portrait is in the shape of a rectangle.

And the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Let the length of the portrait = l

And width of the portrait = w

Area of the portrait = lw

lw = 40

l = \frac{40}{w}

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + width)

Perimeter of the portrait = 2(l + w)

26 = 2(l + w)

l + w = 13 ----------(2)

By substituting the value of 'l' in equation (1) from equation (2)

\frac{40}{w}+w=13

40 + w² = 13w

w² - 13w + 40 = 0

w² - 8w - 5w + 40 = 0

w(w - 8) - 5(w - 8) = 0

(w - 5)(w - 8) = 0

w = 5, 8 feet

From equation (2)

l = 8, 5 feet

Therefore, dimensions of the portrait are (5 feet by 8 feet) Or (8 feet by 5 feet).

mylen [45]
The slope of the line is
\frac{3}{2}
It can be found from any two points that fall on a line by using the formula
y2 - y1  \\  -  -  -  -  \\ x2 - x1
2 is x or y from the second point and 1 is x or y from the first point

For example in that problem the first point is -2,0 and the second one is 0,3

In Passage 2, the author claims that freedoms granted
yarga [219]

Correct answer is A. In Passage 2, the author claims that freedoms granted by society’s leaders have privileged one gender over the other.

In lines 72-78, Wollstonecraft argues that the laws passed by society’s leaders allow men to “contend for their freedom” but serve to “subjugate women.” In this context, “subjugate” means to control. Wollstonecraft is arguing that society’s leaders grant men freedoms that are denied to women.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because Wollstonecraft does not

claim that society’s leaders have granted freedoms that created a

general reduction in individual virtue, caused arguments about

happiness, or ensured equality for all people.

<h3>This question is based on paragraph from Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Originally published in 1792, which is given below -</h3>

Passage 2 -

"Contending for the rights of woman, my main argument is built on this simple principle, that if she be not prepared by education to become the companion of man, she will stop the progress of 45 knowledge and virtue; for truth must be common to all, or it will be inefficacious with respect to its influence on general practice.

suppose that a biologist is watching a trail known for wildebeest migration. During the first minute, 24 wildebeests migrated pa
Monica [59]

Answer:

=1050 wildebeests

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form an arithmetic series for the wildebeest migration.

Sₙ=n/2(2a+(n-1)d) where  n is the number of terms, d is the common difference and a is the first term.

a=24

n=20

d=3

Sₙ=(20/2)(2(24)+(20-1)3)

Sₙ=10(48+57)

=1050 wildebeests
