Hey there!

Each step is three feet. This can be represented by 3s= feet. We can plug that in to figure out our side lengths.

20(3)=60

40(3)=120

Now we can multiply these two together to get the area.

120(60)= 7,200

Therefore, his backyard is about 7,200 square feet.

I hope this helps!

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by  

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)

Determine the value of $a$. [asy] pair w=(0,4); pair x=(0,0); pair y=(4,0); pair z=y+7/sqrt(2)*(1,1); dot(w); dot(x); dot(y); do
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is rendered and attached below.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, \angle XYW=45^\circ

\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7

A friend tells you that he has a cubic equation with exactly three complex roots. Determine which explanation best explains why
Ksju [112]
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.

a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.

therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.

if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.

Shelby mixes a 25% bleach solution with 5 cups of a 10% bleach solution, resulting in a 20% bleach solution. The table shows the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of equations to solve this.

Cups of 25% bleach solution used = x

Cups of 1-% bleach solution used = 5

Cups of solution we get = y

The first equation becomes:

x + 5 = y

Using the decimal forms of each percentage solution

25% solution for x cups = 0.25x

10% solution for 5 cups = 0.1(5)

20% solution for y cups = 0.2 y

The second equation becomes:

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

So the system of equations is:

x + 5 = y

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

Solve both equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y:

x = 10 cups

y = 15 cups

The formula T= 2pi sqrt(L/32) relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing
tester [92]

The length of pendulum is 2.485 feet

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Given that,

The formula T= 2pi sqrt(L/32) relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing back and forth

<u><em>Therefore, the given formula is:</em></u>

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }

We have to find the length of pendulum that makes one full swing in 1.75 seconds

So the modify the given equation to find "L"

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }\\\\ \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }=\frac{T}{2 \pi}\\\\\text{Taking square root on both sides }\\\\\frac{L}{32} = \frac{T^2}{4 \pi^2}\\\\L = \frac{T^2}{4 \pi^2} \times 32\\\\L = \frac{T^2}{\pi^2 } \times 8

Substitute T = 1.75 seconds and \pi = 3.14

L = \frac{1.75^2}{3.14 \times 3.14} \times 8\\\\L = \frac{3.0625}{9.8596} \times 8\\\\L = 2.485

Thus length of pendulum is 2.485 feet approximately
