Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2x the width and 2x the length gives you the perimeter. This can be represented by the equation:

2w + 2L = P

Use the information given in the word problem to fill in the variables.

2(59) + 2L = 238

118 + 2L = 238

move 118 to the other side of the equation.

2L = 238 - 118

2L = 120

move 2 to the other side of the equation.

L = $\frac{120}{2}$

L = 60

find the value of" A" such that triangle DEF with vertices D (a,1) , E(10,7) and F(7 ,11) is a right angle at E?

Ronch [10]

a=2

Answer:

(m1) slope of DE=(7-1)/(10-a)=6/(10-a)

(m2) slope of EF=(11-7)/(7-10)=4/-3=-4/3

since line are perpendicular

m1m2=-1

6/(10-a) ×-4/3=-1

6/(10-a)=3/4

6×4=3(10-a)

24=30-3a

3a=30-24

a=6/3=2

If mark celebrated his 8th birthday 10 years ago then mark is 18 years old. Jess is twice as old as mark so Jess is 36 years old. Julie is 26 less than mark and jess combined so Julie is 28 years old. Gwen is two years older than Julie so Gwen is 30 years old. The twins are 2 less than 1/3 of gwen so the twins are 8 years old

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Variance =10900.00

Standard deviation=104.50

Step by step Explanation:

Admissions Probability for 1100= 0.2

Admissions Probability for 1400=0.3

Admissions Probability for 1300 =0.5

To find the expected value, we will multiply each possibility by its probability and then add.

mean = 1100*0.2 + 1400*0.3 + 1300*0.5 = 1290

To find the variance, we will start by squaring each possibility and then multiplying it by its probability. We will then add these and subtract the mean squared.

E(X^2)=( 1100²*0.2)+ (1400²*0.3 )+ (1300²*0.5) = 1675000

Variance(X)=E(X²)- [E(X)]²

= 1675000 - (1290)²

=10900

Hence, the Variance(X)=10900

Then to calculate the standard variation , we will use the formular below,

standard variation (X)=√ var(X)= √10900

=104.5

Hence the standard variation=104.5
