width = x

length = 2x+8

area = l x w

x<span>(2x+8)</span>=120

<span><span>2<span>x^2</span>+8x−120=0 </span> </span>

<span><span><span>x^2</span>+4−60=0 </span></span>

<span><span><span>(x+10)</span><span>(x−6)</span>=0</span> </span>

<span><span>x=−10 and x=6 </span></span>

<span><span> width has to be a positive number</span></span>

Width = <span>6 </span> inches.

Probability of a standard six side dice landing on a four in the first three rolls?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

91/216

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a 4 in the first three rolls is 1 minus the probability of not getting a 4 on any of the rolls.

P(at least one 4) = 1 − P(no 4s)

P(at least one 4) = 1 − (5/6)³

P(at least one 4) = 91/216

Alternatively, you can calculate it this way.

The probability of getting a 4 on the first roll is 1/6.

The probability of getting a 4 on the second roll is (5/6) (1/6) = 5/36.

The probability of getting a 4 on the third roll is (5/6) (5/6) (1/6) = 25/216.

The probability of any of the three events is 1/6 + 5/36 + 25/216 = 91/216.
