Answer:

Let the measure of each side of the square be " x " cm.

then ,

area of square = x²

After we folded the square into a rectangle ,

length of rectangle = x

breadth of rectangle = x/2

perimeter of rectangle = 36 cm

x +  \frac{x}{2}  + x +  \frac{x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\    \frac{2x + x + 2x + x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\   \frac{6x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\ 6x = 36 \times 2 \\  \\ 6x = 72 \\  \\ 6x =  \cancel{\frac{72}{6} } = 12cm

hence ,

side of square = 12 cm

therefore ,

area of square = 12 × 12 = 144 cm²

Masteriza [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The vertical axis should begin with 0 inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertical axis must start with 0 inches to ensure accuracy for the measures of every plant since 28% of the plants in the garden are under 6 inches.

If the vertical axis begins with 6 inches or above, we can miss a lot of the gardener's data, especially the plants which are under 6 inches.

Therefore, to ensure that the graph does not mislead any measures of the plant, the vertical axis must begin with 0 inches.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

D.2.58

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995, so Z = 2.58.

The answer is given by option D.

when a cannonball is fired, the equation of its pathway can be modeled by h=-16t squared + 128t. find the time it will take for
Rashid [163]
At the time the cannonball reaches the ground, the vertical height of the cannonball from the ground is 0, i.e. h = 0.

Thus, the time it will take the cannonball to reach the ground is given by

-16t^2+128t=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t(-16t+128)=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t=0\ or\ -16t+128=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow16t=128 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t= \frac{128}{16} =8

Therefore, it will take the cannonball 8 seconds to reach the ground.
