X = E/W dimension 
<span>y = N/S dimension </span>

<span>4x + 4x + 2y + 2y = 64 </span>
<span>8x + 4y = 64 </span>
<span>4y = 64 - 8x </span>
<span>y = 16 - 2x </span>

<span>Area = xy = x(16 - 2x) = 16x - 2x^2 </span>

<span>Maximum of y = ax^2 + bx + c is when x = -b / 2a </span>

<span>so x = -16 / -4 = 4 </span>

A large restaurant is being sued for age discrimination because 15% of newly hired candidates are between the ages of 30 years a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take P as the proportion of new candidates between 30 years and 50 years

A) The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0 : p = 0.5

H1: p < 0.5

b) Type I error, is an error whereby the null hypothesis, H0 is rejected although it is true. Here, the type I error will be to conclude that there was age discrimination in the hiring process, whereas it was fair and random.

ie, H0: p = 0.5, then H0 is rejected.

A particular convex pentagon has two congruent, acute angles. The measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the s
NNADVOKAT [17]

1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

A pound of oranges costs $2 less than a pound of pears. Together, ten pounds of oranges and eight pounds of pears cost $61. How
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Let us say that:

o = cost of oranges per pound

p = cost of pears per pound

 

so that:

o = p – 2

 

Therefore:

10o + 8p = 61

10 (p – 2) + 8p = 61

10p – 20 + 8p = 61

18p = 81

p = 4.5

p = $4.5 per pound

 

So 3 pounds of pears would cost:

total cost = 3 * 4.5

total cost = $13.5

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.
