The area of a rectangular field is 2275 m2. The field is enclosed by 200 m of fence. What are the dimensions of the field?

1 answer:

4 0

So it is enclosed by 200 m of fence
perimiter=200 m
it is a rectangle to
p=legnth+legnth+width+width or
p=l+l+w+w or
p=2l+2w or
p=2(l+w)
so
p=200
200=2(l+w)
divide both sides by 2
100=l+w
area=l times w
area=2275
lw=2275
l+w=100
combine and solve
l+w=100
subtract w
l=100-w
subisutute 100-w for l in other eqution
(100-w)(w)=2275
distribute
-w^2+100w=2275
add (w^2-100w) to both sides
0=w^2-100w+2275
factor
find what 2 numbers add up to -100 and multiply to get 2275
guess (or factor 2275 and find factors that add up to -100)
figure out that they are -65 and -35
0=(w-65)(w-35)
set each to zero
0=w-65
0=w-35

solve for w
w=65 or 35
65>35 so
65 m=legnth
35 m=width

A salesman normally makes a sale (closes) on % of his presentations. Assuming the presentations are independent, find the pro

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

$(a)\ 0.0864$

$(b)\ 0.096$

$(c)\ 0.24$

$(d)\ 0.936$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p \to$ close

$q \to$ fail to close

$p = 60\%$

$p = 0.60$

First, calculate the value of q

Using complement rule

$q = 1 - p$

$q = 1 - 0.60$

$q = 0.40$

So, we have:

$p = 0.60$ and $q = 0.40$

Solving (a): Fails to close on the 4th attempt

This means that he closes the first three attempts. The event is represented as: p p p q

So, we have:

$Pr = p*p*p*q$

$Pr = p^3*q$

$Pr = 0.60^3*0.40$

$Pr = 0.0864$

Solving (b): He closes for the first time on the 3rd attempt

This means that he fails to close the first two attempts. The event is represented as: q q p

So, we have:

$Pr = q * q * p$

$Pr = q^2 * p$

$Pr = 0.40^2 * 0.60$

$Pr = 0.096$

Solving (c): First he closes is his 2nd attempt

This means that he fails to close the first. The event is represented as: q p

So, we have:

$Pr = q * p$

$Pr = 0.40 * 0.60$

$Pr = 0.24$

Solving (d): The first he close is one of his 3 attempts

To do this, we make use of complement rule

The event that he does not close any of his first three attempts is: q q q

The probability is:

$Pr = q*q*q$

$Pr = q^3$

The opposite is that the first he closes is one of the first three

So, we have:

$Pr' = 1- Pr$ --- complement rule

$Pr' = 1- q^3$

$Pr' = 1- 0.40^3$

$Pr' = 1- 0.064$

$Pr' = 0.936$

A ramp leading into a building makes a 15o angle with the ground. the end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building.

Oksanka [162]

We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Demand for an electric fan is related to its selling price p (in dollars) by the equation n = 1960 − 70 p where n is the number

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$14

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue from sales of fans is the product of the number of fans sold and the price at which they are sold:

R(p) = n·p = (1960-70p)p

R(p) = 70(28 -p)p

This equation describes a parabola that opens downward and has zeros at p=0 and p=28. The axis of symmetry is halfway between those zeros, at p=14. It goes through the vertex or point of maximum revenue.

The price for maximum revenue is p = 14 dollars.
