Answer:
I agree with both of them because they are both correct
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for complete question;
Slope (m) is calculated using the following formula:
Where
From the attachment, we have the following:
Triangle A
So:
<em>In this case, Mai is correct:</em>
Triangle B
So:
<em>In this case, Elena is also correct:</em>

Explanation:
x = width of the sidewalk path
The variable x is some placeholder for a positive number.
Check out the diagram below.
The green rectangle is the garden itself. The gray portion represents the sidewalk path. It's only along one vertical side and one horizontal side. So this sidewalk does not entirely encompass the garden.
If the horizontal component of the green garden rectangle is 12 meters, then it bumps up to 12+x meters when we incorporate the sidewalk.
Similarly, the vertical component of 5 meters bumps up to 5+x meters.
The entire figure is (12+x) by (5+x) which leads to an area of...
area = length*width
area = (12+x)(5+x)
area = 12(5+x) + x(5+x)
area = 60+12x+5x+x^2
area = x^2+17x+60
Set this equal to the desired area of 98 and solve for x.
x^2+17x+60 = 98
x^2+17x+60-98 = 0
x^2+17x-38 = 0
(x+19)(x-2) = 0
x+19 = 0 or x-2 = 0
x = -19 or x = 2
We stated earlier that x was positive, so we're going to ignore the first solution. Only x = 2 is practical here, so it's the final answer.
----------------
Note that if x = 2, then,
This helps us confirm we have the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The population proportion have the following distribution
For this case the standard error is given by:
Solution to the problem
For this case we want to find the probability that the sample proportion will be within +-.03 of the population proportion like this:
And for this case we can use the following z score:
And using this formula we got:
And we can find this probability like this:
