The perimeter of a rectangular piece of plastic is 30 millimeters. The area is 54 square millimeters. What are the dimensions of

the piece of plastic?

Answer:

6 mm and 9 mm are the dimensions of the piece of plastic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind the formulas for the area and perimeter of a rectangle:

A = lw

P = 2 (l + w)

List the factors of 54:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

POSSIBLE DIMENSIONS of the piece of plastic:

1 mm and 54 mm:

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 110 mm

2 mm and 27 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 58 mm

3 mm and 18 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 42 mm

6 mm and 9 mm

Area - 54 mm^2

Perimeter - 30 mm

The rectangular piece of plastic with the dimensions 6mm and 9 mm corresponds with the area and perimeter of the piece of plastic mentioned. So these are the correct dimensions.

Hope this helps!

Finn changes his mind and, from now on, decides to take the normal route to work everyday. On any given day, the time (in minute

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day is 31.04 minutes.

There is a 61.92% probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by the the z-score formula:

On a normaly distributed set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a value X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Each z-score value has an equivalent p-value, that represents the percentile that the value X is:

The problem states that:

Mean = 35, so $\mu = 35$

Variance = 81. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so $\sigma = \sqrt{81} = 9$ .

Find the 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day. Do not include any units in your answer.

Looking at the z-score table, $z = -0.44$ has a pvalue of 0.333. So what is the value of X when $z = -0.44$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.44 = \frac{X - 35}{9}$

$X - 35 = -3.96$

$X = 31.04$

The 33rd percentile of the time it takes Finn to get to work on any given day is 31.04 minutes.

Over the next 2 days, find the probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.

$P = P_{1} + P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day. The first step to solve this problem is finding the z-value of $X = 40.5$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{40.5 - 35}{9}$

$Z = 0.61$

$Z = 0.61$ has a pvalue of 0.7291. This means that the probability that it took LESS than 40.5 minutes for Finn to get to work is 72.91%. The probability that it took more than 40.5 minutes if $P_{1} = 100% - 72.91% = 27.09% = 0.2709$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that Finn took more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day. Sine the probabilities are independent, we can solve it the same way we did for the first day, we find the z-score of

$X = 38.5$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{38.5 - 35}{9}$

$Z = 0.39$

$Z = 0.39$ has a pvalue of 0.6517. This means that the probability that it took LESS than 38.5 minutes for Finn to get to work is 65.17%. The probability that it took more than 38 minutes if $P_{1} = 100% - 65.17% = 34.83% = 0.3483$

So:

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.2709 + 0.3483 = 0.6192$

There is a 61.92% probability that Finn took more than 40.5 minutes to get to work on the first day or more than 38.5 minutes to get to work on the second day.

C, as they are on the same plane, (it is uncommon to find non co-planar lines)
D, as that symbol means parallel

A is untrue as they are on the same plane
B is untrue as that symbol means perpendicular
E is untrue as perpendicular means the two lines intersect and form 90 degree angles
F is untrue as parallel lines never intersect
