Answer:

The dimensions of the two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

W = 4 yards and L = 5 yards or W = 5 yards and L = 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

W = 2 yards and L = 10 yards or W = 10 yards and L = 2 yards

The perimeter of the two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

P₁ = 18 yards

2nd Arrangement:

P₂ = 24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Bella is putting down patches of sod to start a new lawn.

She has 20 square yards of sod.

We are asked to provide the dimensions of two different rectangular regions that she can cover with the sod.

Recall that a rectangle has an area given by

Area = W*L

Where W is the width of the rectangle and and L is the length of the rectangle.

Since Bella has 20 square yards of sod,

20 = W*L

There are more than two such possible rectangular arrangements.

Out of them, two different possible arrangements are;

1st Arrangement:

20 = (4)*(5) = (5)*(4)

Width is 4 yards and length is 5 yards or width is 5 yards and length is 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

20 = (2)*(10) = (10)*(2)

Width is 2 yards and length is 10 yards or width is 10 yards and length is 2 yards

Therefore, the dimensions of two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

W = 4 yards and L = 5 yards or W = 5 yards and L = 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

W = 2 yards and L = 10 yards or W = 10 yards and L = 2 yards

What is the perimeter of each region?

The perimeter of a rectangular shape is given by

P = 2(W + L)

Where W is the width of the rectangle and and L is the length of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the 1st arrangement is

P₁ = 2(4 + 5)

P₁ = 2(9)

P₁ = 18 yards

The perimeter of the 2nd arrangement is

P₂ = 2(2 + 10)

P₂ = 2(12)

P₂ = 24 yards

So the perimeter of the 1st arrangement is 18 yards and the perimeter of the 2nd arrangement is 24 yards.

Note:

Another possible arrangement is,

20 = (1)*(20) = (20)*(1)

Width is 1 yard and length is 20 yards or width is 20 yards and length is 1 yard.

masha68 [24]

I say it is C. Basically I just eliminate the potential answered down. A could not be the one since not all student in 2nd period got 100% and average students got below 95%. B cannot be it since both box plot have the same median. I do not think D is it because of how the answer is told. "The 4th period class should get the reward. Their lowest score is an outlier, and should be thrown out," it sound childish and makeing a joke to put "and should be thrown out." I may be wrong but that is my opinion. The relatively the best and reasonable answer is C.

Suppose that public opinion in a large city is 55% in favor of increasing taxes to support renewable energy and 45% against such

Harman [31]

Answer:

The approximate probability that more than 360 of these people will be against increasing taxes is P(Z> 0.6-0.45)

√0.45*0.55/600

The right answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

sample size, h=600

probability against increase tax p=0.45

The probability that in a sample of 600 people, more that 360 people will be against increasing taxes.

We find that P(P>360/600)=P(P>0.6)

The sample proposition of p is approximately normally distributed mith mean p=0.45

standard deviation σ=√P(1-P)/n=√0.45(1-0.45)/600

If x≅N(u,σ∧∧-2), then z=(x-u)/σ≅N(0,1)

Now, P(P>0.6)=P(P-P > 0.6-0.45)

σ √0.45*0.55/600

=P(Z> 0.6-0.45)

√0.45*0.55/600
