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.

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as L = 10 lo

butalik [34]

Answer:

The approximate loudness of a rock concert with a sound intensity of $10^{-1}$ is 110 Db.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is : $L=10 log (\frac{I}{I_0})$

$I_0=10^{-12}$

We are supposed to find What is the approximate loudness of a rock concert with a sound intensity of $10^{-1}$

So, $I = 10^{-1}$

Substitute the values in the formula :

$L=10 log (\frac{10^{-1}}{10^{-12}})$

$L=10 log (10^{11})$

L=110 Db

So, the approximate loudness of a rock concert with a sound intensity of $10^{-1}$ is 110 Db.

A carnival game allows a group of players to each draw and keep a marble from a bag. The bag contains 5 gold marbles, 25 silver

laila [671]

1. What’s the probablity of a second person winning the small prize?
There are now 99 total marbles, and 24 silver marbles. So, 24/99 is 0.24 probability.
2. Which player is most likely to win a big prize?
Since each player draws a silver marble (aka a small prize) there are less small prize marbles in the bag after each turn. So, the first person would have a 5% chance (or 0.05)of winning the big prize gold marble, but the last person would have a slightly bigger chance (5.15% or 0.0515) of winning a big prize.
3. How could the game be made fair for each player?
Well it’s quite simple, just have each player return their marble and the number of marbles would be kept constant, giving everyone an equal chance. Or you could have them all play at the same time, either way.
