A vacant lot is being converted into a community garden. The garden and the walkway around its perimeter have an area of 238 ft2. Find the width of the walkway if the garden is 12 ft wide by 15 ft long. ft
Let us say that:
x = width of walkway
So the area is:
(12 + 2x) (15 + 2x) = 238
2x because we must add x on both sides of length and width
Expanding:
180 + 24x + 30x + 4x^2 = 238
4x^2 + 54x = 58
By completing the square:
x^2 + 13.5x + 45.5625 = 60.0625
(x + 6.75)^2 = 60.0625
x + 6.75 = ±7.75
x = -14.5, 1
Since dimension cannot be negative, therefore:
width = 1 ft
Final answer:
The width of the walkway around the garden is 3.87 ft.
Explanation:
The width of the walkway around the garden can be found by subtracting the area of the garden from the total area of the garden with the walkway.
Calculate the total area of the garden with the walkway by multiplying the length and width: 12 ft * 15 ft = 180 ft2.Subtract the area of the garden from the total area (238 ft2 - 180 ft2) to find the area of the walkway: 58 ft2.Since the walkway surrounds the garden, divide the walkway's area by the length or width of the garden to find the width of the walkway: 58 ft / 15 ft = 3.87 ft.Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. the sample space s is the collection of the 52 cards. assume that the probability set function assigns 1/52 to each of the 52 outcomes. let a = {x: x is a jack, queen, or king}, b = {x: x is a 9, 10, or jack and x is red}, c = {x: x is a club}, d = {x: x is a diamond, a heart, or a spade}.

1/5(15x-20) = 1/3(12x-9)
multiply the 15 and 20 on the left by 1/5 to get
3x-4
now multiply 12 and 9 by 1/3 to get
4x-3
now you have 3x-4 =4x-3
now solve for x
3x-4 =4x-3
subtract 3 x from each side:
-4 = x-3
add 3 to each side
-1 = x
x = -1
A drivers uses 2.7 gallons of gasoline to drive her car 72.9 miles. what was her cars mileage?
divide 72.9 by 2.7
72.9 / 2.7 = 27 miles per gallon
Answer:
27 mi/gal
Step-by-step explanation:
The car mileage refers to the number of miles that a vehicle can run per gallon of fuel. A higher car mileage is desirable because it means that the vehicle has a better performance (travels more distance per gallon of fuel.) A driver uses 2.7 gallons of gasoline to drive her car 72.9 miles. The car mileage is:
72.9 miles / 2.7 gallon = 27 miles/gallon
The car can travel 27 miles per gallon of gasoline.
The probability that a given computer chip will fail is 0.02. find the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail.
Probability of an event is the measure of its chance of occurrence. The probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004
How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.
Bernoulli trials are those trials which end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))
Suppose we have random variable X pertaining binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as
[tex]X \sim B(n,p)[/tex]
The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by
[tex]P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
For the given case, as failing or working of chips usually doesn't depend on other chips' working condition, so they're independent(assuming). There are two cases for each chip's working(random experiment) that it is either working or failed.
If we take Success of the considered binomial experiment(working status of chip) = Chip working fine
Then, as per given data, we have
P(chip working fine ) = 1 - P(chip not working) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98 = Probability of success in Bernoulli experiment (chip's working status).
There are n = 5 chips, p = probability of success = 0.98, q = 1-p = 0.02
If we take X = number of chips of of 5 chips working, then:
[tex]X \sim B(n = 5, p = 0.98)[/tex]
Then, the needed probability is P(Exactly two chips fail) = P(Exactly 5-2 = 3 chips work) = P(X = 3)
And thus, the needed probability is calculated as:
[tex]P(X = 3) = \: ^5C_3(0.98)^3(0.02)^2 = \dfrac{5.4.3}{3.2.1} \times 0.941192 \times 0.0004 = 0.003764768[/tex]
(using the probability mass function of binomial distribution).
Thus, the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004

Use the scale factor to find the area of the enlarged figure. Explain your steps.
The area of the enlarged figure will be 327.68 square units
The scale factor will be the ratio of the similar sides of a rectangle.
For the given triangles, the required scale factors will be expressed as:
[tex]\frac{4}{8} =\frac{a}{25.6}\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{a}{25.6}\\2a = 25.6\\a=\frac{25.6}{2} \\a=12.8[/tex]
Next is to get the area of the bigger rectangle:
[tex]Area = Length \times Width\\Area=a\times 25.6\\Area=12.8\times 25.6\\Area=327.68 units^2[/tex]
Hence the area of the enlarged figure will be 327.68 square units

If sinθ = 3/4 and is in the first quadrant, then cosθ = _____.
Answer: The answer is [tex]\cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: Given that
[tex]\sin \theta=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\theta[/tex] is in Quadrant I.
We are to find the value of [tex]\cos \theta.[/tex]
We have the following trigonometric identity :
[tex]\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{9}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{7}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]
Since [tex]\theta[/tex] lies in the first quadrant, so cosine of [tex]\theta[/tex] will be positive.
Thus,
[tex]\cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}.[/tex]
