Answer:

432 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know perimeter of rectangle is 2(length + width)

we already know that length is 8 yards

and perimeter is 84 feet

we need to find width first

then

we find area of garden by using formula

area of rectangle = length * width

first we need to convert yards into feet as perimeter is in yards

1 yard = 3 feet

8 yards = 3*8 feet = 24 feet

now we plug value of length and perimeter in formula

perimeter = 2(length + width)

84 = 2(24 + width)

84/2 = 24 + width

=> 42 = 24 + width

=> width = 42 - 24 = 18

Thus, width of garden is 18 feet

now

area of the garden =  length * width = 24* 18 feet square

area of the garden= 432 square feet

Other way to explain:

perimeter = 2 *length + 2 *width

length = 24 feet (8 yards = 24 feet)

since perimeter = 84 feet

84 = 2 * 24 + 2 * width

36 = 2 * width

18 = width

width = 18 feet

area of rectangle is length * width = 24 * 18 = 432 square feet

Answer:

I do not fully know your question, but your slope is m=1, your y-intercept is 12, and your x-intercept would be (-12,0). I hope this helps. Try to reconstruct your question next time.

A length is measured at 21 cm correct to two significant figures, what is the lower bound of the length and upper bound?
Andreyy89

Answer:

20.5 and 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

A cat had a litter of 5 kittens. If each sex is equally likely, what is the probability that 3 or less were female kittens?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

0.8125

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that 3 or less of her kittens were female.

Since each bsex is of likely probability, the probability of a male kitten = probability of a female kitten = 0.5

Now to calculate for 3 or less female kitten we are calcualting P(f) ≤ 3

In each case, we use the Bernoulli approximation

P(f) ≤ 3 = 5C3 m^{2} f^{3} + 5C2 m^{2}  f^{3} + 5C1 m^{4}  f + 5C0 m^{5}  f^{0}

Where m is the probability of a male kitten and f is the probability of having a female kitten with both values = 0.5

P(f) ≤ 3 =(0.3125) + (0.3125) + (0.15625) + (0.03125) = 0.8125
