If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = 7 |
|
none of these is correct |
|
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 12 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 11% | |
| 14% | |
| 9% | |
| 6% |
You have 12 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{12}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{12 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{1200}{200} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 36 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 128 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 36 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 36.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 36
w + h = \( \frac{36}{2} \)
w + h = 18
w = 18 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 18 - 2w
3w = 18
w = \( \frac{18}{3} \)
w = 6
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 6) = 12 and the area = h x w = 6 x 12 = 72 m2
