Answer:

The length is 20, and the width is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to write an expression to represent this situation. w can be the width, and the length can be 2w-10. To fnd the area, you multiply these together. w(2w-10) is 2w^2 -10w. From there, 15 is the only value of w that satisfies the equation, so w=15. Substitute 15 into your expression for lngth, and 2(15)-10 is 30-10 is 20, so the length is 20.

1. Check the tree diagram in the picture attached.

2. The blue segment represents "on time"
The red segment represents "not on time"

3. blue - blue - red represents the case 1st on time, 2nd on time, 3rd not on time.

the combined probability is 90/100*90/100*10/100=9/10*9/10*1/10=99/1000=0.099

4. Remark with a tree diagram we can tell anything asked about the probability of an experiment.
