The whole square would be a total of 60 inches(5 feet)

Each side would be 15 inches(1 foot and 3 inches)

Well since we know that the perimeter of a square is four times the length of one of its sides. We just have to divide 5 by 4 to get the length of one side:

5feet /4 sides = 1.25 feet

And to finish off, we have to convert feet to inches:

<u>1 foot      </u>= <u>12 inches</u>
1.25 feet    x inches

x inches = 12 inches x 1.25 feet ÷ 1 foot
x inches = 15 inches

Therefore, each side is 15 inches long.

Hope this helps!

We will traduce the sentences into equations. 
Let x be the number of hours in the first job, and y be the number of hours in the second job. 
Then the equations are:
x+y\leq25\\11x+9y\geq 150

The above system has many solution, we can select for example:
x = 1, y = 16. So we can work one hour at the first job and 16 hour at the second job.

zzz [600]

Answer:

option C.

Yes, the water tank is about 245 cubic feet too small

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Determine the volume of the cylindrical tank

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2} h

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

we have

r=6\ ft\\h=2\ ft\ 2\ in=2+(2/12)=\frac{13}{6}\ ft

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

V=(3.14)(6)^{2}(\frac{13}{6})

V=244.92\ ft^3

Compare with 251 cubic feet

244.92\ ft^3 < 251\ ft^3

therefore

Yes, the water tank is about 245 cubic feet too small

The percent change from one period to another is calculated from the formula:

<span><span> Where:<span>PR = Percent Rate
VPresent = Present or Future Value
VPast = Past or Present Value</span></span><span>The annual percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
(415.79-200)/200*100=107.89
The annual<span> percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>

A website randomly selects among 10 products to discount each day. The color printer of interest to you is discounted today. Det
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a) P = 0.039

b) The expected number of days is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropiate distribution to use in this case is the geometric distribution, in order to calculate the probability of a success after k failure trials.

The probability of success, as each of the 10 products are assumed to have fair probabilities, is:

p=1/10=0.1

Then, the probability that our product is not selected any given day is:

q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

a) The probability that exactly this product is selected exactly 10 days from now is the probability that is not selected (probbility q) for the next 9 days and selected (probability p) at the 10th day:

P=q^9p^1=0.9^9\cdot0.1=0.3874\cdot0.1=0.039

b) The expected number of days is calculated as:

E(X)=\dfrac{1}{p}=\dfrac{1}{0.1}=10
