Answer:

I'd say that it's a good start, but he is assuming that his rate of growth will remain the same.

Since there are relatively few people 6'10" tall, it's likely that his extrapolation is too high.

Maybe if he could study the growth rates and heights at various ages of people who did achieve 6'10" height, he would have a sounder basis for his theory.

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in japan. One possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat,
Maksim231197 [3]

a) Given

Total area = 81 feet squared.

 Let the area of the square mat = x feet.

From question, area of the rectangular mat is twice that of square mat.

 So, the area of the rectangular mat = 2 x feet.

Now,

Total area = 81 feet squared

Then,

      4(2 x) + x = 81\\ \\ 9 x = 81\\ \\  x = \frac{81}{9}\\ \\ x = 9\\

Hence  the area of the one rectangular mat = 2*9 = 18 feet squared

b) Let the width of the rectangular mat = y feet.

  Then length of the mat = 2 y feet.

   Area of the rectangle = 2 y* y = 2 y^{2}

   and area of rectangle = 18 feet squared.

   So,

 2 y^{2} = 18\\ y^{2} = 9\\ y= \pm3\\

Width can not be negative.

Hence, the width of the rectangular mat = 3 feet

and  length of the rectangular mat = 3*2 = 6 feet

The sets F and H are given below.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

  F ∪ H = {c, d, e, f, g, h}

  F ∩ H = { }

Step-by-step explanation:

The union is the list of elements that are in either of the two sets.

  F ∪ H = {c, d, e, f, g, h}

The intersection is the list of only those elements that appear in both sets. (There are none.)

  F ∩ H = { } . . . . the empty set
