A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

Answer:

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

For this case we have that:

$P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002$

And we see that $0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)$

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following events:

A= In a certain computer a memory failure

B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure

We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

$P(A) = 0.01 , P(B) = 0.02$

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

$P(A \cap B) = 0.0014$

And we want to check if the two events are independent.

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

For this case we have that:

$P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002$

And we see that $0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)$

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.
