A frame around a rectangular family portrait has a perimeter of 60 inches. The length is 15 inches less than 2 times the width.

Find the length and width of the frame

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the rectangular family portrait, which means its length can be described as 2x - 15.

Perimeter formula:-

P=2(l+w)=2(2x-15+x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2(3x-15)=6x-30    (1)

Setting the perimeter of the frame equal to 60 inches, we substitute P=60 into (1), yielding

60=6x-30

By adding 30 to both sides, we get

6x=90

Dividing both sides by 6 gives us

x=15

as a result, Width = 15 inches

Additionally, Length = 2(15) - 15 = 15 inches.

Therefore, the dimensions of the frame are both 15 inches in length and width.

2(2w-5) + 2w = 50

4w - 10 + 2w = 50

6w - 10 = 50

6w = 60

w = 10

The length is calculated as 2(10) - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15

I hope this is useful!!

At a small coffee shop, the distribution of the number of seconds it takes for a cashier to process an order is approximately no
Leona [4187]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

A. 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the provided details;

The average time taken for a cashier to handle an order, μ = 276 seconds

The deviation from the average, σ = 38 seconds

The z-score for an order processing time of x = 240 seconds can be calculated as follows;

Z=\dfrac{x-\mu }{\sigma }

Thus;

Z=\dfrac{240-276 }{38 } \approx  -0.9474

The resulting probability

P(z = -0.9474) = 0.17361

Hence, the estimated proportion of orders processed in under 240 seconds is roughly 0.17361 or 0.17 when rounded to two decimal places.

NASA is sending a probe to Alpha Centauri and then to Sirius. A problem with the probe is noticed while it is at Alpha Centauri,
zzz [4035]
Total time taken = 9.0252 *10^12 s. Step-by-step explanation: Data provided: - Distance from Earth to Alpha Centauri: 4.3 light years. - Distance from Earth to Sirius: 8.6 light years. - Probe speed: V = 18.03 km/s. - 1 AU equals 1.58125 x 10^-5 light-years. Objective: Determine the total time the probe has been in motion from leaving Earth to reaching Sirius. Solution: - Journey is tracked for each destination sequentially:                      Earth ------> Alpha Centauri: d_1 = 4.3 light years                      Alpha Centauri ------> Earth: d_2 =4.3 light years                      Earth ------> Sirius: d_3 = 8.6 light years                      Sum of distances = D = 17.2 light years. - Now, we convert the total distance into kilometers (SI units):                             1 AU  ----------> 1.58125 x 10^-5 light-years                             x AU  ----------> 17.2 light years. - By proportions:                              x = 17.2 / (1.58125 x 10^-5) = 1087747.036 AU. Also,                             1 AU  ---------------------> 149597870700 m                              1087747.036 AU  ----> D m. - Using proportions:                              D =  1087747.036*149597870700  = 1.62725*10^17 m. - Finally, applying the speed-distance-time formula:                               Time = Distance traveled (D) / V                               Time = 1.62725*10^17 / (18.03*10^3). Final answer: Time = 9.0252 *10^12 s.

The value of y at x=-1in the equation 5y=2 is
Zina [3917]

Answer: y = 2/5 --> y = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 5y = 2 represents a horizontal line at y = 2/5.

This means that the y-coordinate holds the value of 2/5 = 0.4 for any x-coordinate.

Noah drew a scaled copy of Polygon P and labeled it Polygon Q. If the area of Polygon P is 5 square units, what scale factor did
babunello [3666]

Answer:

The scale factor equates to 3.

Detailed explanation:

Please refer to the provided image for clarity regarding this issue.

We know that

If two shapes are similar, then the ratio of their areas corresponds to the square of the scale factor.

Let

z -----> scale factor

x -----> area of polygon Q

y ----> area of polygon P

Thus, we have

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

so, we proceed with

y=5\ units^2

Determining the area of polygon Q

The polygon Q can be divided into five distinct squares.

Refer to the additional figure N 2.

The area of polygon Q, which represents the total area of the five squares, is

x=5(3^2)=45\ units^2

Calculating the scale factor

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

Thus, we derive

x=45\ units^2

y=5\ units^2

By substituting the values, we find

z^{2}=\frac{45}{5}

z^{2}=9

Taking the square root of both sides results in

z=3

Thus,

The scale factor resolves to 3.
