A rectangle and a square have the same area. The length of the rectangle is seventy feet more than two times its width. The leng

th of a side of the square is thirty feet. What equation would help you solve for the dimensions of the rectangle? What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Using the side of the square find the area:

Area = 30^2 = 900 square feet.

The rectangles area is the same, 900 square feet.

Let the width = X

The length would be 2X + 70

Area = length x width

X * 2x+ 70 = 900

This expands to 2x^2 * 70x = 900

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

-70 +/- sqrt(70^2-4*2(-900))/2*2

X = 10

Width = x = 10 feet

Length = 2x + 70 = 90 feet

How does temperature affect phase changes?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer. Temperature affects phase change by slowing down the movement in between the atoms, thus causing a change in kinetic energy, which in turn causes the atoms to undergo forms of combining or a type of disepersion.

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimat

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A. Yes, using the additional survey information from part (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>

There is no estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.96$ , hence:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 92.2$

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to $\pi = 0.5$ , the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

In the adjoining figure, the parallel lines are marked by arrow lines. The value of angle 1 is:

dlinn [17]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

40°, 70° and 90° are the measures of the three angles of the quadrilateral.

Measure of fourth angle of the Quadrilateral

= 360° - (40° + 70° + 90°)

= 360° - 200°

= 160°

Measure of angle 1 will be equal to the measure of the linear pair angle of 160° as they are corresponding angles.

Thus,

$m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree$

$\implies\huge\purple{\boxed{ m\angle 1 = 20\degree}}$

Alternate method:

$m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-(40\degree+70\degree+90\degree)]$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-200\degree]$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 20\degree$
