Answer:

3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 20 feet

area = 21 feet²

If the desk is a rectangle:

perimeter = 2l + 2w = 2 (l+w) = 20

                                    2 (l+w) = 20 , divide both sides by 2

                                          l+w = 10

area = l · w = 21

What numbers we know that have sum as 10 and their product as 21?

l + w = 10

l · w = 21

factors of 21 are 1,3,7

3+7 = 10

3 ·7 = 21

The dimensions of the desk could be 3 feet by 7 feet.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

Mindy left at 8 a.M. And will arrive at 1 p.M.; jelly left at 8 a.M. And will arrive at 2 p.M. How many miles is the trip if Kel
uysha [10]

Answer:

300 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance equation is D = RT

Where

D is the distance

R is the rate

T is the time

<u>Mindy</u>

8 am to 1 pm = 5 hours

<u>Kelly</u>

8 am to 2 pm = 6 hours

Kelly's rate is 10 mph SLOWER than mindy, so if we let Mindy's rate be "m", so Kelly's rate will be " m - 10 "

Now using the distance equation, we can write:

Mindy >>> D = RT >>> D = 5m

Kelly >>> D = RT >>>  D = 6(m-10) >>> D = 6m - 60

Since both the distances are equal, we can write:

5m = 6m - 60

m = 60

We want the distance, we know:

D = 5m

D = 5(60)

D = 300 miles

The distance is 300 miles

What is the first quartile of this data set
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

C:12

Step-by-step explanation:

should be 13.5

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set.

so the middle number of 10,11,12,15,17,19 is 13.5   since 12+15=27/2=13.5

the closest answer choice is C! Hope this helped!
