give area of a rectangle measuring 12 ft by 9ft and please show all the work

Answers

Answer:

Area= 108ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, you must do the following formula:

Area= Length × Width

A represents Area

L represents Length

W represents Width

Because the length (length is always longer than width) is 12 ft and the width (width is always shorter than length) is 9 ft. Your equation should be:

A= L × W

= 12ft × 9ft

= 108 ft²

Remember: The answer to a question asking for the area of a shape that is 2D, is always squared (let x represents the answer: x²). And the question asking the area of a shape that is 3D always cubed (let x represents the answer: x³). Always write the unit of measurement (let x represent the answer and cm as the example of unit of measurement: x cm²)

I hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's too complicated.

A Gallup poll asked 1200 randomly chosen adults what they think the ideal number of children for a family is. Of this sample, 53% stated that they thought 2 children is the ideal number. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all US adults that think 2 children is the ideal number.

Answer:

at 95% Confidence interval level: 0.501776   < p < 0.558224

Step-by-step explanation:

sample size n = 1200

population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex]= 53% - 0.53

At 95% confidence interval level;

level of significance ∝ = 1 - 0.95

level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The critical value for [tex]z_{\alpha/2} = z _{0.05/2}[/tex]

the critical value [tex]z _{0.025}= 1.96[/tex] from the standard normal z tables

The standard error S.E for the population proportion can be computed as follows:

[tex]S,E = \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p \times (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]S,E = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.53 \times (1-0.53)}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]S,E = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.53 \times (0.47)}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]S,E = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.2491}{1200}}[/tex]

[tex]S,E = 0.0144[/tex]

Margin of Error E= [tex]z_{\alpha/2} \times S.E[/tex]

Margin of Error E= 1.96 × 0.0144

Margin of Error E= 0.028224

Given that the confidence interval for the proportion  is  95%

The lower and the upper limit for this study is as follows:

Lower limit: [tex]\hat p - E[/tex]

Lower limit: 0.53 - 0.028224

Lower limit: 0.501776

Upper limit: [tex]\hat p + E[/tex]

Upper limit: 0.53 + 0.028224

Upper limit: 0.558224

Therefore at 95% Confidence interval level: 0.501776   < p < 0.558224

It is given that,

[tex]a=\begin{pmatrix}4\\-10\end{pmatrix},b=\begin{pmatrix}-2\\1\end{pmatrix},c=\begin{pmatrix}-4\\6\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

a)

We need to find the value of a+b+c.

[tex]a+b+c=\begin{pmatrix}4\\-10\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}-2\\1\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}-4\\6\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]a+b+c=\begin{pmatrix}4+(-2)+(-4)\\-10+1+6\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]a+b+c=\begin{pmatrix}-2\\-3\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

b)

(i) We need to find the value of a+2c.

[tex]a+2c=\begin{pmatrix}4\\-10\end{pmatrix}+2\begin{pmatrix}-4\\6\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]a+2c=\begin{pmatrix}4\\-10\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}-8\\12\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]a+2c=\begin{pmatrix}4+(-8)\\-10+12\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]a+2c=\begin{pmatrix}-4\\2\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

(ii) It is given that a+2c=kb, where k is an integer. We need to find the value of k.

[tex]a+2c=k\begin{pmatrix}-2\\1\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{pmatrix}-4\\2\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}-2k\\k\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

a rectangle is 12 in wide and 18 in tall.if it is reduce to a height of 3 inches, then how wide will it be?

Answers

Answer:

2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

18/3=6 , 6 is the scale factor

12/6=2

Answer:

width= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 inches is the original height and we are now reducing that to 3 inches.

In order to do that, we have to divide 18 by 3 which equals 6.

Next, take the width of the rectangle, which is twelve and divide it by the scale factor of 6 which  equals 2.

Your final answers should be: width= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

The length of the major axis of the ellipse is 10

i.e

2 a = 10

Also, the ellipse is the curve that consists of 2 focal points  in order that the total of the distance to the 2 focal points would remain constant for each and every point displayed in the curve

Now we assume that P is the curve point

So,

PF1 + PF2

Victoria is scuba diving off the coast of Hawaii. When she is ready to come back to the surface, she rises 40 yards at a safe speed. She climbs 1 foot every 2 seconds. How many minutes will it take her to reach the surface?

Answers

Answer:

it will take her 79.76 minutes to rise to the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance to the surface = 40 yards

speed of rising = 1 foot per seconds

1 foot = 1 second

since the total distance is in yards, let's convert from foot to yards:

1 yard = 3 feet

1 foot = 1/3 yards = 0.333 yards

0.33 yards = 1 second

Next, let's convert from seconds to minutes

60 seconds = 1 minute

∴ 1 second = 1/60 minute

1 second = 0.0167 minute

Therefore the speed at which she rose:

speed

0.333 yards = 0.0167 minutes

Now for a distance of 40 yards:

[tex]1\ yard = \frac{0.0333}{0.0167} minutes\\\therefore\ 40\ yards = \frac{0.0333}{0.0167} \ \times\ \frac{40}{1} \\= \frac{1.332}{0.0167} \\= 79.76\ minutes[/tex]

Using the cosine formula since the length of the three sides are given:

a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)

To find P:

QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 – 2(PQ)(PR)cos(P)

Soda Tak claims that Diet Tak has 40mg of sodium per can. You work for a consumer organization that tests such claims. You take a random sample of 60 cans and find that the mean amount of sodium in the sample is 41.9mg. The population standard deviation in all cans is 5.2mg. You suspect that there is more than 40mg of sodium per can. Find the z-score.

Answers

Answer:

Z - score = 2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of samples (N) = 60

Sample mean (x) = 41.9mg

Population mean (μ) = 40mg

Population standard deviation (sd) = 5.2

Using the relation :

Z = (x - μ) / (sd / √N)

Z = (41.9 - 40) / (5.2 / √60)

Z = 1.9 / (5.2 / 7.7459666)

Z = 1.9 / 0.6713171

Z = 2.8302570

Therefore, the z-score = 2.83

the maximum value of 3/5sinx-12cosx+19

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric expression is :

11 cos^2 x +3 sin^2 x+6sinx cosx +5

or, we can write it as,

(9 cos^2 x + 2 cos^2 x) + (2 sin^2 x + sin^2 x) + 6sinx cosx +5

Again, after rearranging the terms, we can write the whole expression as,

(9 cos^2 x + sin^2 x + 6sinx cosx) + (2 cos^2 x + 2 sin^2 x) + 5

Then if you factor the following underlined section as you would with a polynomial:

(9 cos^2 x + sin^2 x + 6sinx cosx) + (2 cos^2 x + 2 sin^2 x) + 5

You get:

(3 cos x + sin x)^2 + 2 (cos^2 x + sin ^2 x) + 5

Now, the term inside the second bracket (cos^2 x + sin ^2 x) is a very popular trigonometric identity and it's value is equal to one.

So, now the whole expression becomes,

(3 cos x + sin x)^2 +7

Now, the maximum and the minimum value of the whole expression depends upon the maximum and the minimum value of the term (3 cos x + sin x), which is of the form (a cosx + b sinx),

The maximum and minimum value of (a cosx + b sinx) is relatively easy to find.

So, I've attached a screenshot from a relevant document below:

Here, a=3 and b=1,

So, R= √10

As the value of cosine of any angle lies between -1 to 1, so the value of the value of expression cos(x − α) will lie between -1 to 1.

Hence, the maximum and the minimum value of (a cosx + b sinx) will be -R and R and all the values of the expression will lie between them.

i.e., in our case between (-√10) to √10.

Again, coming back to our original expression,

(3 cos x + sin x)^2 +7

The value of the term in bracket will lie between (-√10) and √10.

But, there is a catch here, as the squares of negative terms come out be positive, hence we can't take the negative term to find the minimum value of our expression. the minimum value of the expression will be at the minimum non-negative value in the range, which is zero.

So, the minimum value will be,

(0)^2 + 7=7

and the maximum value will be,

(√10)^2 +7 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: D) 55.7 degrees approximately

=====================================================

The reference angle has AC = 12.3 as the opposite side and BC = 8.4 as the adjacent side. The tangent ratio ties the opposite and adjacent sides together.

--------

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(theta) = AC/BC

tan(theta) = 12.3/8.4

theta = arctan(12.3/8.4)

theta = 55.6697828044967

theta = 55.7 degrees approximately

--------

arctan is the same as inverse tangent which is written as [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The side you have drawn in is 4√3 (calculate via pythagoras as √(8²-4²) = √48 = √16·3 = √4²·3 = 4√3)

So the area of the small triangle is 4*2√3 and the area of the small rectangle is 2*4√3. Together makes 4*2√3 + 2*4√3 =  16√3

The average annual amount American households spend for daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.a. Suppose you learn that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for dailytransportation. What is the standard deviation of the amount spent?b. What is the probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000?c. What is the range of spending for the 3% of households with the highest daily transportationcost?

Answers

Answer:

(a) The standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.

(a) It is stated that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for daily transportation.

Let X = the amount spent on daily transportation

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                          Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation = $6,312

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation

Now, 5% of American households spend less than $1000 on daily transportation means that;

                      P(X < $1,000) = 0.05

                      P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}[/tex] ) = 0.05

                      P(Z < [tex]\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}[/tex] ) = 0.05

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of below 5% is given as -1.645, this means;

                           [tex]\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}=-1.645[/tex]                

                            [tex]\sigma=\frac{-\$5312}{-1.645}[/tex]  = 3229.18

So, the standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is given by = P($4000 < X < $6000)

      P($4000 < X < $6000) = P(X < $6000) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] $4000)

 P(X < $6000) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{\$6000-\$6312}{\$3229.18}[/tex] ) = P(Z < -0.09) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.09)

                                                            = 1 - 0.5359 = 0.4641

 P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] $4000) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{\$4000-\$6312}{\$3229.18}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -0.72) = 1 - P(Z < 0.72)

                                                            = 1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358  

Therefore, P($4000 < X < $6000) = 0.4641 - 0.2358 = 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is given by;

                    P(X > x) = 0.03   {where x is the required range}

                    P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}[/tex] ) = 0.03

                    P(Z > [tex]\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}[/tex] ) = 0.03

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of top 3% is given as 1.88, this means;

                           [tex]\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}=1.88[/tex]                

                         [tex]{x-\$6312}=1.88\times 3229.18[/tex]  

                          x = $6312 + 6070.86 = $12382.86

So, the range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.
