We know that
<span>Of all the rectangles having same area, square has the least perimeter
</span>
area of square=x²
where
x is the length side of the square
A=72 cm²
72=x²
x=√72-----> x=6√2 cm

Perimeter of square=4*x------> 4*(6√2)-----> P=24√2 cm
P=33.94 cm

the answer is
the perimeter is equal to 24√2 cm or 33.94 cm

lara [203]
Answer is 14.14
Reason
Using Pythagorean theory
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The two legs are a and b, the longest diagonal opposite the right angle is c
10^2 + 10^2 = c^2
200 = c^2
Take square root of both sides
14.14 = c

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 60

For the alternative hypothesis,

h1: µ < 60

This is a left tailed test

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 100,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 52

µ = population mean = 60

s = samples standard deviation = 22

t = (52 - 60)/(22/√100) = - 3.64

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.00023

We would reject the null hypothesis if α = 0.05 > 0.00023
