The <em>perimeter</em> of any shape is given by the sum of it's <em>all sides</em> and as <em>here the shape</em> is <em>square</em> so it's all <em>sides</em> must be <em>equal</em> and it <em>have 4 sides</em>. So if we assume it's one side to be <em><u>s</u></em> , then perimeter = (s+s+s+s) = <em><u>4s</u></em> , so in our question :

{:\implies \quad \sf 4s=28}

{:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{28}{4}=7}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{s=7\:\: inches}}}

<em>Hence , the length of each side of the square is 7 inches </em>

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

.90(85.00) would give the same result

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhonda is using the total cost of the item ($85.00) multiplied by the discount (10%) to find the total discount:  85 x 0.10 = 8.50.  Once Rhonda subtracts the discount ($8.50) from the total:  $85 - $8.50 = $76.50.  The other way to look at the problem, is that Rhonda is only paying for 90% of the total cost of the items, instead of 100% since she is receiving the 10% discount.  So, she would get the same final total by multiplying the cost of the items ($85.00) by 90%, or 0.90.

Eborah finds that the theoretical probability of flipping "heads" on a fair coin was 50%. After she flipped the fair coin 100 ti
eimsori [14]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Theoretical probability = 50%

The experimental probability = number of desired outcome / number of trials

Hence, experimental probability = 45 / 100 = 0.45

0.45 = 0.45 * 100% = 45%

Percentage difference in theoretical and experimental probability :

Theoretical - experimental

50% - 45% = 5%
