A rectangular piece of land is 40m long and 25m wide. A path of uniform width and 426 m^2 area sorrounds
1 answer:
Answer:
Width of the uniform path that surrounds the piece of land = 3 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the path that surrounds the piece of land be x.
The situation described is sketched in the attached image to this solution.
The dimension of the Length of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = (40 + 2x) m
The Breadth of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = (25 + 2x) m
The area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it
= (Area of the piece of land) + (Area of the uniform path that surrounds it)
Area of the piece of land = Length × Breadth = 40 × 25 = 1000 m²
Area of the uniform path that surrounds it = 426 m² (Given in the question)
The area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it = 1000 + 426 = 1426 m²
But the area of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it is also
= (Length of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it) × (Breadth of the piece of land including the uniform path that surrounds it
= (40 + 2x) + (25 + 2x)
= 1000 + 80x + 50x + 4x²
= (4x² + 130x + 1000) m²
Equation these 2 areas
4x² + 130x + 1000 = 1426
4x² + 130x - 426 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation
x = 3 or -35.5
Since the width cannot be negative,
x = 3 m

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The cross section of a sphere is a circle with area
, where radius is given as 4
- The cross section of the cube is a square with area
, where a is side length of square
The circle area = the square area. Thus we have:
Answer:
6.33... and 0.333...
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is
.
It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions. Using the formula will require less work than finding the factors if factorable. We will substitute a=9, b=-54 and c=-19.
We will now solve for the plus and the minus.
The plus,,,
and the minus...
The probability of picking one girl would be . That is because there are 5 girls out of the 12 students, and the probability of an event occuring is:
.
Using that same logic, the next student should be easier. We reduced the student population by 1, so we have 11 possible ways it can happen now instead of 12, so that gives us:, for the probability of picking a boy as the second pick.
And lastly, using the same logic shown above, the probability of picking a girl on the third pick would be:.
We are not done, though. We have the separate probabilities, but now we have to multiply then together to figure out the probability of this exact event happening:
Which when reduced is:
