Response:

The fence's width is 6 feet.

Detailed explanation:

To start, let’s define some variables.

Let the width of the fence be denoted as w, and the length as l.

Next, determine the length: the width is 2 feet less than half of the length.

w = l/2 - 2

Alternatively, l/2 can be expressed as w + 2, leading to l = 2(w + 2).

The total perimeter of the fence is 44 feet. The perimeter for a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

P = 2(l + w)

Inserting what we know:

P = 44 and l = 2(w + 2)

44 = 2(2(w+2) + w)

44 = 2(2w + 4 + w)

44 = 2(3w + 4)

44 = 6w + 8

6w = 36

w = 36/6

w = 6 feet

According to Consumer Digest (July/August 1996), the probable location of personal computers (PC) in the home is as follows: Adu
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

a) 0.32

b) 0.68

c) Office or den

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The likelihood that a personal computer is located in a bedroom can be calculated by adding the probabilities of it being in an adult bedroom, child bedroom, or another bedroom:

P(B) =P(adult)+P(child)+P(other)\\P(B) = 0.03+0.15+0.14\\P(B) =0.32

b) The probability of a PC not being located in a bedroom is found by calculating 100% minus the probability of it being in a bedroom:

P(Not\ B) = 1- P(B)\\P(Not\ B) =1-0.32\\P(Not\ B) =0.68

c) The expected location for finding a personal computer in a randomly selected household is derived from the room most likely to contain a PC according to Consumer Digest. The Office or den ranks as the most likely place with a probability of 0.40.

A PC would most likely be found in the Office or den.

John is filling a bathtub that is 18 inches deep. He notices it takes 2 mins. To fill the tub 3 inches of water. He estimates it
Svet_ta [12734]

The bathtub's depth measures 18 inches

It takes 2 minutes to fill 3 inches of the bathtub

Subsequently

The remaining depth needed for filling with water = (18-3) inches

                                                                        = 15 inches

The time needed to fill the remaining 15 inches of the bathtub = (15*2)/3 minutes

                                                                      = 30/3 minutes

                                                                      = 10 minutes

Therefore, John is right in believing that it will require an additional 10 minutes to fill the tub to the brim at the same rate.

Hope this clarifies things!

A waterbed filled with water has the dimensions 8ft by 7 ft by .75 ft taking the density of water to be 1.00/gm cubed how many k
Svet_ta [12734]

Density can be defined as:

D = \frac{m}{V}

Where:

m is mass

V stands for volume

To isolate the mass, we derive:

m = DV

Volume can be expressed as:

V = (8) * (7) * (0.75)

V = 42ft ^ 3

We then use the following conversion:

1foot = 0.3048m

After applying the conversion, we arrive at:

V = 42 * (0.3048) ^ 3

V = 1.19m ^ 3

Additionally, we have these conversions:

1m = 100cm

1Kg = 1000g

When we apply these conversions for density, we conclude:

D = (1\frac{g}{cm^3})((\frac{100}{1})^3\frac{cm^3}{1m^3})(\frac{1}{1000}\frac{Kg}{g})=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}

Finally, the mass of the water required is:

m = (1000) * (1.19)

m = 1190

Answer:

A total of 1190 kilograms of water is needed to fill the waterbed.

Which of these terms does not describe polygon A'B'C'D ?
zzz [12365]
I believe that option C is the appropriate choice from the provided selections. The term 'rem preimage' does not accurately characterize polygon A'B'C'D'. The preimage is defined as the original shape before undergoing any transformation. In this scenario, the transformation involved is a rotation combined with a dilation. I hope this clarifies your inquiry.
