Doris has a fish pond 15 by 18 ft. She wants to put grass in a strip of uniform with around the pond. She has enough grass seed for 234 ft squared. How wide will the strip be? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, when appropriate

Answers

Check the picture below.

so if we simply subtract the strip area with the pond and the area of the pond only, what's leftover is the area of the strip alone, so

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{area of the grass \underline{with} pond}}{(15+2x)(18+2x)}-\stackrel{\textit{area of the pond}}{(15)(18)}=\stackrel{\textit{their difference}}{232} \\\\\\ 270+30x+16x+4x^2-270=232\implies 46x+4x^2=232 \\\\\\ 23x+2x^2=116\implies 2x^2+23x-116=0[/tex]

[tex]~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{2}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+23}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-116}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{-23\pm \sqrt{23^2-4(2)(-116)}}{2(2)}\implies x = \cfrac{-23\pm \sqrt{1457}}{4}[/tex]

now, the negative root will simply yield a negative value, which is not applicable here, so we'll only use the positive root, since it's the only feasible one for the phenomena

[tex]x = \cfrac{-23+ \sqrt{1457}}{4}\implies x \approx 3.792667341996157\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x = 3.8}[/tex]

Answer:

3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the grass strip.

So the length of the grass strip=18+2x

Area of the grass strip =2(18+2x)(x)+2(15)(x)=2(18x+2x^2)+2(15x)=(36x+4x^2)+30x=4x^2+66x^2

But the available grass seed is enough for 234 ft squared

4x^2+66x=234

4x^2+66x-234=0

x={-66+-[(66)^2–4(4)(-234)]^1/2}/2(4)

x={-66+-[4356+3744]^1/2}/8={-66+-[8100]^1/2}/8

x={-66+-(90)}/8

Two values of x: x=(-66+90)/8=24/8=3 and the other value of x=(-66–90)/8=-19.5. Adopt the positive value of x=3 feet (answer)

So the width of the strip is 3 feet.

Check for the area of grass strip around the fish pond : Area=2(18+6)(3)+2(15)(3)=2(24)(3)+90=144+90=234 square feet

Other area check =4x^2+66x=4(3)^2+66(3)=36+198=234 square feet

Therefore the strip is 3 feet wide

Consider rolling two fair dice and observing the number of spots on the resulting upward face of each one. Letting A be the event that at least one of the dice results in 6 spots on its upward face, and E be the event that exactly one of the dice results in 6 spots on its upward face, give the value of P(E|A). (Note: This value can be easily obtained by looking at p. 2.3 of the class notes and using a reduced sample space.

P(E|A)

First, list out the outcome of each

Data with 950 observations are drawn from a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 19. Approximately how many observations are more than 116

Answers

Answer:  there are 22 observations that are more than 116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable.

Given: Sample size = 950

Mean = 78

Standard deviation = 19

The probability that the observations are more than 116 is given by :-

[tex]P(X>116)=P(\dfrac{X-mean}{standard \ deviation}>\dfrac{116-78}{19})\\\\=P(Z>2)\\\\=1-P(Z<2)\\\\=1-0.9772\ \ \ [\text{Using p-value calculator}]\\\\=0.0228[/tex]

Number of observations are more than 116 = [tex]0.0228\times950[/tex]

[tex]=21.66\approx22[/tex]

Hence, there are 22 observations that are more than 116.

What are trigonometric ratios?

The sides and angles of a right-angled triangle are dealt with in Trigonometry. The ratios of acute angles are called trigonometric ratios of angles. The six trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), cosecant (cosec), and secant (sec).

In the given triangle ABC, BC=5 and ∠A=55°.

We know that, sinθ= Opposite leg length/Hypotenuse length

Here, sinA=BC/AB

sin55°=5/AB

0.82=5/AB

AB=5/0.82

AB=6.1 units

Therefore, the measure of length of AB in the triangle ABC is 6.1 units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ;

9x - 6y = 19

Where, x = - 6

Solve for y

9x - 6y = 19

plug the value of x

9 ( -6 ) - 6y = 19

- 54 - 6y = 19

Add 54 to both sides

- 54 + 54 - 6y = 19 + 54

-6y = 73

divide both side by -6

-6y / -6 = 73 / -6

y = 73 / -6

Please help i’m very confused

Answers

Answer:

680

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of red to white 4 : 7

Number of white = 280

White + red buttons = x

7x / 11 = 280

7x = 280 * 11

7x = 3080

x = 3080 / 7

x = 440

Number of red buttons 440 - 280 = 160

Number of red bottons ;

Blue + red buttons = x

3 : 2 ; blue : red

3 + 2 = 5 ;

2x / 5 = 160

2x = 160 * 5

2x = 800

x = 800 / 2

x = 400

Number of Blue buttons :

400 - 160 = 240

White + red + blue

280 + 160 + 240 = 680 buttons

we know that 2x+x must equal 36, so we can set up the equation 2x+x=36

we then add 2x to x to make 3x=36, divide both sides by 3, and get x=12.

now that we know what x equals, 2(12) is 24 and (12) is 12 :)

Answers

Given:

In the given circle, the measure of major arc TV is 220 degrees.

To find:

The measure of angle TUV.

Solution:

In a circle, the measure central angle of arc is equal to its corresponding arc measure and according to central angle theorem, the measure of subtended angle on an arc is half of the measure of central angle of that arc.

So, the measure of subtended angle is half of the measure of its corresponding arc.

[tex]m\angle TUV=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{Measure of major arc TV}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle TUV=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 220^\circ[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

A and B are exhaustive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = \{1,2,4\}[/tex]

[tex]B = \{2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

[tex]C =\{3,4\}[/tex]

[tex]D = \{2,4,5\}[/tex]

Solving (a): The mutually exclusive events

These are events that have no common or mutual elements

Events A to D are not mutually exclusive because each of the events have at least 1 common element with one another.

Solving (b): Exhaustive events.

Two events X and Y are said to be exhaustive if:

[tex]S = P(X\ n\ Y)[/tex]

i.e. if the sample space equals the intersection of X and Y

For events A to D, we have:

[tex]A\ n\ B = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

and the sample space is:

[tex]S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

By comparison;

[tex]A\ n\ B = S[/tex]

Hence, A and B are exhaustive.
