A living room wall is 13 feet long. How far from the corner would you have to the edge of a 3ft 6in shelf for it to be centered on the wall?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The game plan is to take the length of the shelf away from the length of the wall, and then divide the remaining part into two equal pieces.

13 ft.

-  3 ft. 6 in.

12 ft  12 in,

- 3ft    6 in

9 ft   6 in.

9 ft. 6 inches divided by 2 equals 4.5 ft, 3 in.

.5 ft * 12 inches = 6 inches

You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.

Answer 2

The length from the corner for the edge of a 3ft 6in shelf for it to be centered on the wall is A = 4.75 feet = 4 feet 9 inches

What is the diagonal of a rectangle?

The diagonal of a rectangle is calculated by the formula

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height² , and

Diagonal of a Rectangle = √ ( Length )² + ( Width )²

Given data ,

To center a shelf on a 13-foot long wall, we need to find the midpoint of the wall, and then subtract half the length of the shelf to determine the position of the shelf's edge.

First, we need to convert 3 feet 6 inches to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so:

3 feet 6 inches = 3 + 6/12 = 3.5 feet

Now , the diagonal of the rectangular shelf is

The midpoint of the wall is half of 13 feet, which is:

13 / 2 = 6.5 feet

To find the distance from the corner to the edge of the shelf, we need to subtract half the length of the shelf from the midpoint of the wall:

6.5 feet - 1.75 feet = 4.75 feet

Hence , the shelf should be placed 4.75 feet from the corner to be centered on the 13-foot long wall.

Fill in the blanks of the equation from the
given information.
The slope of the line is -3 and
goes through the point (13, 4).

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the line of equation containing the point (13, 4)  with the slope m =-3 will be:

[tex]y=-3x+43[/tex]

The graph of the line is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The slope of the line = m = -3The point = (13, 4)

Using the point-slope form of the line equation

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

where

m is the slope of the line(x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values m = -3 and the point (13, 4)

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

[tex]y - 4 = -3(x-13)[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides

[tex]y-4+4=-3\left(x-13\right)+4[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]y=-3x+43[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that the line of equation containing the point (13, 4)  with the slope m =-3 will be:

[tex]y=-3x+43[/tex]

The graph of the line is also attached.

tan A = 1/5 and tan B = 1/4

Find tan 2 (A-B) ​

Answers

Given:

[tex]\tan A=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\tan B=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

To find:

The value of [tex]\tan^2(A-B)[/tex].

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{\tan A-\tan B}{1+\tan A\tan B}[/tex]

Putting the given values, we get

[tex]\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{4}}{1+\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot \dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{4-5}{20}}{1+\dfrac{1}{20}}[/tex]

[tex]\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{-1}{20}}{\dfrac{20+1}{20}}[/tex]

[tex]\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{-1}{21}[/tex]

Taking square on both sides, we get

[tex]\tan^2 (A-B)=\left( \dfrac{-1}{21}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\tan^2 (A-B)=\dfrac{1}{441}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\tan^2(A-B)[/tex] is [tex]\dfrac{1}{441}[/tex].

The length of a rectangle is 7.8 cm more than 4 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 94.6 cm, what
are its dimensions?
Select one:
O a. length = 23.8 cm; width = 15.7 cm
O b. length = 39.4 cm; width = 15.7 cm
O c. length = 39.4 cm; width = 7.9 cm
O d. length = 7.9 cm; width = 39.4 cm

Answers

Answer:

C, Length = 39.4 cm; width = 7.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The permimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the width + 2 times the length or 2(l + w)

The length is 4 times w plus 7.8.

So:  2w+2(4w+7.8)=94.6

=  2w+8w+15.6=94.6  (Factor out the brackets)

=  10w+15.6=94.6  (Combine like terms)

=  10w=79  (Subtract 15.6 from both sides)

=  w=7.9  (Divide both by 10).

So, the width is 7.9 cm and the length is 39.4 cm (4 * 7.9 + 7.8)

In 2013 Skittles changed the flavor of green from lime to sour apple (big mistake!!). Mrs. Rowland takes a small handful of 5 Skittles from a bin of 10,000 Skittles and gets ALL GREEN (terrible)! If 20% of the Skittles are green, what is the probability of this happening

Answers

Answer:

0.032% probability of this happening

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution is very large(10,000 skittles), and there are only two possible outcomes(either the Skittles is green or it is not) we can use the binomial probability distribution as an approximation.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Handful of 5 skittles:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

20% of the Skittles are green

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability of this happening?

Probability of all skittles being green, so [tex]P(X = 5)[/tex].

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.00032[/tex]

0.032% probability of this happening

John read 1/3 of his book on the first day and 1/4 of the book on the second day. What fraction of the book does John have left to read?

Answers

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole book is 1.

So This will be your equation.

1/3 + 1/4 = 1

4/12 +3/12 = 1

7/12 = 1

Now you minus 7/12 from 1

1-7/12 is how much is left

12/12-7/12= 5/12

The fraction that represents the book john has left to read is 5/12.

What is Equation Modelling?

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

Given is that John read 1/3 of his book on the first day and 1/4 of the book on the second day.

Assume that the fraction that represents the book john has left to read is [x/y]. Then, we can write -

1/3 + 1/4 + x/y = 1

x/y = 1 - 7/12

x/y = 5/12

Therefore, the fraction that represents the book john has left to read is 5/12.

5.2-9y=-2

or,57.2-18y=1

Answer:

-18y = 46.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding Left hand side elements together as well as right hand side

Eq1 = equation 1

Eq2 = equation 2

LHS(left hand side of the equation)

RHS(right hand side of the equation)

LHS of Eq1 + LHS of Eq2 = RHS of Eq1 + RHS of Eq2

-52 -9y + 5.2 -9y = 3 - 2

=> -9y -9y - 52 + 5.2 = 1

=> -18y - 46.8 = 1

=> -18y - 46.8 = 0

=> -18y = 46.8
