A rectangle has its diagonal length increased from 5 cm to 25 cm. The new rectangle is similar to the original one. The original perimeter was 14 cm. What is the measure of the new perimeter?

The measure of the new perimeter is 70cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought putting up a picture would be easier than explaining it all. The picture is how you would write out the problem.

The original rectangle's measures were 5cm and 14cm. The new rectangles measures are 25 cm and X (We don't know yet.) So write it out. 5cm is to 14cm as 25cm is to X.

5cm/14cm = 25cm/X

Cross multiply. (The arrows I drew. Multiply diagonally.)

You should get

350 = 5X

We need to get X by itself, so divide both sides by 5.

5X/5 leaves X left

350/5 leaves 70

70 = X

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
