Marcie wants to enclose her yard with a fence. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle attached to a triangle. The formula for t

he area of the enclosed space is A = lw + 0.5bh. Solve for b .
a. b = A divided by the quantity l times w plus 0.5 times h B . b = The quantity A minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h
c. b = A – lw – 0.5h
d. b = A + lw + 0.5h No Idea :o

Let

l------> the length side of the rectangle

w----> the width side of a rectangle

b----> the base of the triangle

h----> the height of the triangle

we know that

the area of the yard is equal to

$A=lw+0.5bh$

Solve for b------> ( that means clear variable b)

Subtract $lw$ both sides

$A-lw=lw+0.5bh-lw$

$A-lw=0.5bh$

Divide by $0.5h$ both sides

$(A-lw)/(0.5h)=0.5bh/(0.5h)$

$b=(A-lw)/(0.5h)$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

The quantity A minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h

$A=lw+0.5bh \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |-lw \\
A-lw=0.5bh \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\div 0.5h \\
\boxed{b=\frac{A-lw}{0.5h}}$

The answer is B.

In-s [12.5K]

Given:

$|x-4(72)|=2$

To find:

The highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament.

Solution:

We have,

$|x-4(72)|=2$

$|x-288|=2$

It can be written as

$x-288=\pm 2$

Add 288 on both sides.

$x=288\pm 2$

$x=288-2$ and $x=288+2$

$x=286$ and $x=290$

Therefore, the highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament are 290 and 286 respectively.

A study is being conducted in which the health of two independent groups of ten policyholders is being monitored over a one-year

uysha [10]

Answer:

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We use two binomial trials to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of at least nine participants finishing the study in a group.

0.2 probability of a students dropping out. So 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 probability of a student finishing the study. This means that $p = 0.8$ .

10 students, so $n = 10$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

Then

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.8)^{9}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.2684$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.8)^{10}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.1074$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2684 + 0.1074 = 0.3758$

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group.

Calculate the probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups?

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group. This means that $p = 0.3758$

Two groups, so $n = 2$

We have to find P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.3758)^{1}.(0.6242)^{1} = 0.4691$

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Daniel is organizing his rock collection of 18 rocks into equal groups. How many possible ways can Daniel line up his rock colle

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct options are (2, 3 and 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that Daniel has a rock collection of 18 rocks.

He wants to organize these 8 rocks into equal groups.

The factors of 18 are:

Factor (18): {1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18}

A group is a selection of more than 1 items. So, there cannot be 18 groups.

And there cannot be 1 group, since then Daniel would not be organizing the rocks.

So, the possible ways Daniel line up his rock collection are {2, 3, 6 and 9}.

Thus, the correct options are (2, 3 and 6).

GalinKa [24]

To find the area of the rectangular prism, use the formula:

A = width x height x length

A = 2 x 2 x 3

A = 12

Now multiply A with 0.75

12 x 0.75 = 9

x = 9 in³

hope this helps

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Quite simple. There are 52 weeks in a year. She gets paid 26 times, every other week.

38,350 / 26 = her salary from last year per check.

46,462 / 26 = her new salary per check

(46,462 - 38,350) / 26 = the difference per week
