<h2>Answer:</h2>

The ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S is:

                    \dfrac{24}{25}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The sides of R are in the ratio : 2:3

Let the length of R be: 2x

and the width of R be: 3x

i.e. The perimeter of R is given by:

Perimeter\ of\ R=2(2x+3x)

( Since, the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and breadth or width B is given by:

Perimeter=2(L+B) )

Hence, we get:

Perimeter\ of\ R=2(5x)

i.e.

Perimeter\ of\ R=10x

Also, let " s " denote the side of the square region.

We know that the perimeter of a square with side " s " is given by:

\text{Perimeter\ of\ square}=4s

Now, it is given that:

The perimeters of square region S and rectangular region R are equal.

i.e.

4s=10x\\\\i.e.\\\\s=\dfrac{10x}{4}\\\\s=\dfrac{5x}{2}

Now, we know that the area of a square is given by:

\text{Area\ of\ square}=s^2

and

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=L\times B

Hence, we get:

\text{Area\ of\ square}=(\dfrac{5x}{2})^2=\dfrac{25x^2}{4}

and

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=2x\times 3x

i.e.

\text{Area\ of\ Rectangle}=6x^2

Hence,

Ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S is:

=\dfrac{6x^2}{\dfrac{25x^2}{4}}\\\\=\dfrac{6x^2\times 4}{25x^2}\\\\=\dfrac{24}{25}

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

the sides of rectangular region R are in the ratio 2 : 3.

i.e. If length=2x

then, breath=3x

Perimeter of rectangular region=2(length+breath)

                                    = 2(2x+3x)

                                    =10x

and Area of rectangular region=2x×3x

                                                  =length×breath

                                                  =6x²

Let s be the side length of square region S

Perimeter of square region=4s

The perimeters of square region S and rectangular region R are equal.

i.e. 4s=10x

s=\dfrac{5}{2}x

Area of square region=s²

                                    =\dfrac{5}{2}x\times \dfrac{5}{2}x

                                    =\dfrac{25}{4}x^2

Ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S

=6x^2:\dfrac{25}{4}x^2 \\\\=6:\dfrac{25}{4}\\\\=24:25

Hence, the ratio of the area of region R to the area of region S is:

24:25

GIVING BRAINLIEST! A rectangular garden has a width of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet. A cement walkway is added around the out
Serjik [45]

Given:

Width of a garden = 10 feet

Length of the garden = 14 feet

Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.

To find:

The width of the walkway.

Solution:

A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.

Let x be the width of the walkway.

The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x

The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x

Area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Area of garden and the walkway together is

Area=(14+2x)\times (10+2x)

396=140+28x+20x+4x^2

396=140+48x+4x^2

396=4(35+12x+x^2)

Divide both sides by 4.

99=35+12x+x^2

0=35-99+12x+x^2

0=-64+12x+x^2

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+16x-4x-64=0

x(x+16)-4(x+16)=0

(x+16)(x-4)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(x+16)=0\text{ and }(x-4)=0

x=-16\text{ and }x=4

Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.

Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

2/3 probability that the answer choice which rohit selects for question is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing the question :- what is probability that the answer choice which rohit selects for question is wrong.

Answer :

Since there are 3 possible options provided out of which 1 is correct. So probability of correct answer is 1/3. probability of incorrect answer is 2/3.

So, there is 2/3 probability that the answer choice which rohit selects for question is wrong.
