Answer: w = 9 cm,   L = 23 cm

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

P (Perimeter)  = 2L(length) + 2w(width)

A (Area) = L (length) x w (width)


Use the formulas above to create a system of equations, then solve using the substitution method.

P = 2L + 2w

64 = 2L + 2w

32 = L + w

32 - w = L    ←←←   use this to substitute for L in the Area equation

                              A = L · w

                          207 = (32 - w)w

                          207 = 32w - w²

      w² - 32w + 207 = 0

         (w - 23)(w - 9) = 0

     w - 23 = 0            w - 9 = 0

           w₁ = 23                w₂ = 9


Now, solve for L:

      L₁ = 32 - w₁                      L₂ = 32 - w₂

         = 32 - 23                           = 32 - 9

          = 9                                    = 23


We have 2 sets of solutions (w₁ , L₁) and (w₂ , L₂)

                                              (23, 9)  and  (9, 23)

Notice that they are the same values but in reverse order.  These are the dimensions of the rectangle.  We generally consider width (w) to have the smaller value. So, w = 9 and L = 23

Perimeter Formula:
2l + 2b = 64


Area Formula:
l \times b = 207
Set perimeter Formula equal to b:
2l + 2b = 64 \\ 2(l + b) = 64 \\  l+ b = 32 \\ b = 32 - l
Plug formula for be we just made above into the area Formula:
(32 - l) \times l = 207


Solve for L (you'll have to use quadratic formula) then plug that back into the area Equation and solve for b.

Here's a link to where the problem has been explained before (they go into more detail than me).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students =100

Number who bought pop corn = 62

Number who bought drinks = 47

Number who bought both =38

Hence number who did not purchase anything = 100-(62+47-38)

=29

Prob that students buys a drink = 47/100 = 0.47

PROB THAT THE  student buys a drink/he purchsaed pop corn

= Number for both/number of pop corn

=38/62 =0.613

P(buying pop corn) = 0.62 and P(drink) = 0.47

Product of these = 0.62*0.37=0.2356

Thus we find product is not equal to Prob of purchsing both

Hence cannot be independent
