Answer:

The dimensions are 4 millimetres by 10 millimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the first rectangle is 5*8=40 square millimetres. Let's call the width of they yellow rectangle w, and the length l. Now you can set up the following system of equations:

l*w=40

2l+2w=28

Isolate one of the variables to substitute:

l=40/w

2(40/w)+2w=28

80/w+2w=28

Multiply both sides by w:

80+2w^2=28w

Move everything to one side:

2w^2-28w+80=0

Factor the quadratic:

2(w^2-14w+40)=0

2(w-10)(w-4)=0

w=4 or 10

l= 10 or 4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l*w=40

2l+2w=28

l=40/w

2(40/w)+2w=28

80/w+2w=28

80+2w^2=28w

2w^2-28w+80=0

2(w^2-14w+40)=0

2(w-10)(w-4)=0

w=4 or 10

l= 10 or 4

Answer:In order to specify a line completely, all you need is

Step-by-step explanation:

co-ordinates of any one of the points it passes through (say, (x1,y1) ), and

its inclination (slope = m).

Its equation, by virtue of the definition of the slope then becomes,

y−y1x−x1=m

Whence, for our case,

y−2x+6=−12

which simplifies to

x+2y+2=0

The number of customers waiting for gift-wrap service at a department store is an rv X with possible values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and co

FrozenT [24]

Let $Y_i$ denote the number of packages brought by customer $i$ . If, for instance, $X=2$ customers are in line, then the total number of packages is $Y=Y_1+Y_2$ , and

$P(Y=y)=P(Y_1=y_1,Y_2=y_2)=P(Y_1=y_1)P(Y_2=y_2)$

since the number of packages brought by any customer is independent from the number of packages brought by any other.

a. $P(X=3,Y=3)$ is the probability that a total of 3 packages are waiting to get wrapped from among a total of 3 customers. This means each customer must have exactly one package. So

$P(X=3,Y=3)=P(X=3)P(Y=3)^3\approx0.0416$

b. $P(X=4,Y=11)$ is the probability that a total of 11 packages are brought by 4 customers. The only way for there to be 11 packages is if 3 customers bring 3 packages and the last 1 brings 2. There are $\dbinom43=4$ ways this can happen, so

$P(X=4,Y=11)=4P(X=4)P(Y=3)^3P(Y=2)\approx0.0002$
