Answer:

  • Length and width of rectangle is 24 and 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Length of rectangle is three times the width
  • Perimeter of rectangle is 64 Inches

<u>To Find:</u>

  • Length and Width

<u>Solution:</u>

Let's assume Width of rectangle x inches and length be 3x inches. To calculate the dimensions of The rectangle we will use the formula of Perimeter of rectangle:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B)

→ 64 = 2(3x + x)

→ 64 = 2(4x)

→ 64/2 = 4x

→ 32 = 4x

→ 32/4 = x

→ 8 = x

Hence,

  • Length of the rectangle = 3x = 3(8) = 24 inches

  • Width of the rectangle = x = 8 inches

Answer:

  • Length = 24 inches

  • Width = 8 inches

⠀

Step-by-step explanation :

⠀

As it is given that, the legnth of a rectangle is three times its width and the perimeter is 64 in and we are to find the length and width of the rectangle. So,

⠀

Let us assume the width of the rectangle as w inches and therefore, the length will be 3w inches .

⠀

Now, According to the Question :

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { \pmb{\frak {2 ( Length + Breadth )= Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 (3 x  + x )= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 (4x )= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{8x= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ x =  \dfrac{64}{8}  }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline{ \boxed { \pmb{\mathfrak {x = 8}} }}} }\: \: \bigstar

⠀

Therefore,

  • The width of the rectangle is 8 inches .

⠀

Now, We are to find the length of the rectangle:

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 3x  }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 3 \times 8 }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline{  \boxed{ \frak{\pmb{Length = 24}}}}}} \:  \:  \bigstar

⠀

Therefore,

  • The length of the rectangle is 24 inches .

⠀

A man weighing 80 kg gets into an elevator. The elevator starts moving upward with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is the reacti
maria [59]

The reaction force exerted by the floor of the elevator on the man is D.944 N

Step-by-step explanation:

When the elevator is accelerating upwards at 2 m/s² there occurs a fictitious force acting downwards to produce a downward acceleration of 2 m/s².

The formula to apply here is ;

Weight due to gravity=mg where m is mass of the man and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Due to additional downward acceleration the total acceleration downwards will be : 9.8+2 = 11.8 m/s²

The man weighs down on the elevator floor with a force of ;

F=m(a+g) where m is mass of man, a is acceleration

F=80( 9.8+2)

F=80(11.8)= 944 N

The reaction force by the floor of the elevator is thus 944 N

50 students live in a dormitory. The parking lot has the capacity for 30 cars. Each student has a car with probability 12 , inde
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

P(X is greater than 30) = 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample proportion (p) = 0.5

Sample size = 30

The Binomial can be approximated to normal with:

\mu = np = 50 \times 0.5 \\ \\ \mu= 25

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p) } \\ \\  \sigma = \sqrt{50 \times (0.5)(1-0.5) } \\ \\ \sigma = 3.536

To find:

P(X> 30)

So far we are approximating a discrete Binomial distribution using the continuous normal distribution. 30 lies between 29.5 and 30.5

Normal distribution:

x = 30.5, \mu = 25, \sigma = 3.536

Using the z test statistics;

z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{30.5 - 25}{3.536}

z = \dfrac{5.5}{3.536}

z = 1.555

The p-value for P(X>30) = P(Z > 1.555)

The p-value for P(X>30) = 1 - P (Z< 1.555)

From the z tables;

P(X> 30) = 1 - 0.9400

Thus;

P(X is greater than 30) = 0.06

The dimensions of the nations smallest post office are 8 ft 4 in x 7 ft 3 in. Why would you use the measurement 8 ft 4 in. inste
allsm [11]

Answer:

The explanation in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1\ ft=12\ in

In this problem is correct to use the measurement 8\ ft\ 4\ in instead of 7\ ft\ 16\ in  

because

16\ in=12\ in+4\ in=1\ ft+4\ in

therefore

7\ ft\ 16\ in=7\ ft\ +1\ ft+4\ in=8\ ft\ 4\ in
