The dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.

<h3>How to find the dimensions of the garden?</h3>

Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(L + W)

And the area is:

A = L*W

In this case, we know that the area is 8 square feet and the perimeter is 12 ft, then we have a system of equations:

12ft = 2*(L + W)

8ft² = L*W

To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate L on the first one:

12ft/2 = L + W

6ft - W = L

Now we can replace that in the other equation to get:

8ft² = (6ft - W)*W

This is a quadratic equation:

-W^2 + 6ft*W - 8ft² = 0

The solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

W = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{(6ft)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-8)} }{2*-1} \\\\W = \frac{-6 \pm 2}{-2}

Then we have two solutions:

W = (-6 - 2)/-2 = 4ft

W = (-6 + 2)/-2 = 2ft

If we take any of these solutions, the length will be equal to the other solution.

So the dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.

A bag contains 5 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, and 9 green marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random, one at a time. What is the p
Leokris [45]
Your answer would be C. 27/190.

This is because the probability of choosing green as the first marble would be 9/20, as there are 20 marbles in total and 9 of those are green.

The probability of choosing a red marble as the second marble would be 6/19, as no red marbles would have been lost if green was picked first, but there would be one less marble in total.

The 'and' rule for probability, the one that is used to determine the probability of P(A) and P(B), is to multiply, so we need to do 9/20 × 6/19 = 54/380 = 27/190.

I hope this helps!
