 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

Answer:

0.7 ; 0.65 ; 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.5 ; P(B) = 0.3

P(not successful) = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 ; P(A') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

1.)

Both events are independent events, hence the outcome of one does not depend on the other. That is the failure of the Asian project has nothing to do with the European project.

Probability that European project isn't successful;

P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

2.)

Probability that atleast one of the 2 projects is successful :

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15

P(AUB) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.65

3.)

Probability that only the Asian project is successful, given that atleast one of the two projects is successful :

[P(A) - P(AnB)] ÷ P(AuB)

[0.5 * 0.15] ÷ 0.65

= 0.075 ÷ 0.65

= 0.1153846

= 0.115

Ne Friday night, a group of friends bought 5 containers of popcorn and 4 granola bars at the movie theatre for $42.50. The next
Tomtit [17]

In this question , it is given that p represents cost of 1 container of popcorn . Therefore cost of 5 containers of popcorn = 5p and cost of 3 containers of popcorn = 3p .

And g represents cost of 1 container of granola bars. THerefore cost of 4 containers of granola bars = 4g and cost of 6 containers of granola bars = 6g .

According to the given question, the required linear equations are

5p+4g=42.50 , 3p+6g =34.50 .

And these are the the required system of linear equation .

The equation 1.5r + 15 = 2.25r represents the number r of movies you must rent to spend the same amount at each movie store. how
EleoNora [17]
1.5r+15=2.25r
First of all, you have to arrange the numbers according to those similar to them. So that will be;
15=2.25r-1.5r
1.5r is subtracted from 2.25r because it crossed over an equality sign to get its position close to 2.25r. And when a number crosses over an equality sign, the sign on the number chages to the opposite. 1.5r has an invisible positive sign which became negative when it crossed. Anyway;
2.25r-1.5r is the same as 2.25-1.5. And that is 0.75r
  Therefore;
15=0.75r
To find out what r is, you have to divide the both sides by 0.75. This is done to remove the 0.75 close to r to finally reveal what r is. Anyway;
15/0.75=0.75r/0.75
15 divided by 0.75 is 20. And 0.75r divided by  0.75 is r. So;
20=r
r=20. So the answer is 20 movies. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

t = 0.53 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We write expressions for the distances walked by these two people, sum them up and set the sum equal to 4 miles:

(3.5 mph)(t) + (4mph)(t) = 4 mi

Combining these terms:  

(7.5 mph)(t) = 4 mi

                               4 mi

Solving for t:  t = ---------------- = 0.53 hr

                              7.5 mph
