Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

Explain what each of the following sample correlation coefficients tells you about the relationship between the x and y values i
Alchen [17]

Answer: The description are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficients is a statistical measure that measures the relationship between the two variables.

(a) r = 1, it means that there is a Perfect positive relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable also increases with a fixed proportion.

(b) r = -1, it means that there is a perfect negative relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable decreases with a fixed proportion.

(c) r = 0, this is a situation which shows that there is no relationship between the two variables.

(d) r = 0.86, this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong positive relationship between the two variables.

(e) r = 0.06, it is nearly zero which represents that either there is a very minor positive relationship between the two variables or there is no relationship between them.

(f) r = -0.89,  this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong negative relationship between the two variables.

I need to equation for the radius of a 400m running track I know the answer is 36.5 and I know the formula is =2<img src="https:
miskamm [114]
This formula only applies if the track is circular.  If it is, then we write the equation:

2*r*pi=400

Dividing by 2pi, we see that:

r=200/pi

This is approximately 63.66.
