The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width. the perimeter is 130. what is the area?

1 answer:

7 0

L the length W the width

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width
L = 5+ 2W

the perimeter is equal the sum of sides =130

L+L+W+W =130

by subtitution we replace L by L = 5+ 2W

5+ 2W+5+ 2W +W+W = 130

6W= 120

w= 20 L = 5+ 2W= 5+ 40=45

Given that average age of employees of a large company is Normal

X - average age of employees

X:N(32,4)

The average age of employees in sales dept is 27 years.

Prob that an employee, chosen at random, will be younger than 27 years.

= P(X<27)

Let us convert x into Z

Z = (x-32)/4 = -5/4 = -1.25

Reqd prob = P(Z<-1.25) =0.5-0.3925
