Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, first we need to figure out how much of the board Rafi cut off.

To do this, we need to multiply the length of each piece by the number of pieces he cut off.

3 7/8 = 3.875

3.875 * 3 = 11.625

Now, because we knew Rafi cut off 11.625 feet off of the board, we just need to subtract this length from the length of the entire board to find the remaining length.

15 1/2 = 15.5

15.5 - 11.625 = 3.875

There is 3.875 feet or 3 7/8 of the board left.

A rectangle is 10 feet longer than it is wide. The area is 39 square feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

length = 13 ft

Width = 3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = w ft

Length = ( w +10 ) ft

Area = 39 square ft

length * width = 39

(w +10)* w = 39

w *w + 10*w = 39

w² + 10w - 39 = 0

w² + 13w - 3w - 3*13 = 0

w(w + 13) - 3(w + 13) = 0

(w + 13) (w - 3) = 0    {Ignore w + 13 , as measurement cannot be in negative}

w - 3 = 0

      w = 3

length = 3 +10 = 13 ft

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 11.7 years, and standard deviation of
lesya692 [45]

Answer: 9.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean(m) = 11.7 years

Standard deviation (s) = 1.2 years

Recall the z-score formula :

Z = (x - m) / s

We can find the z-score by locating the value of 2% in the negative z-table, then solve for x.

2% = 0.02

0.02 falls most closely to 0.02018whuch is under - 2.05.

Using the z-score value in the formula above :

-2.05 = (x - 11.7) / 1.2

Cross multiply

(-2.05 × 1.2) = x - 11.7

-2.46 = x - 11.7

x = - 2.46 + 11.7

x = 9.24 years

A pyramid has a base with a demension 5 inches by 7 inches .The height of the pyramid is unknown .If the volume of the pyramid i
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is given as:

V = \frac{l* w*h}{3}

where l = length of base of pyramid

w = width of base of pyramid

h = height of pyramid

The volume of the cylinder is already known ( 105 in^3 ) and the other two dimensions are known as 5 in and 7 in.

From the formula of the volume of the pyramid, the height of the pyramid is given as:

h = \frac{3V}{l*h}

Hence, the height of the pyramid is:

h = \frac{3 * 105}{5 * 7}\\ \\h = \frac{315}{35} = 9in

The pyramid's height is 9 inches.
