The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)

w = width

l = length

In this problem,

The diagonal = 20 in

w = x

l = 2x + 8

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)

Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt

20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)

Now, let's square both sides.

400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64

Subtract 400 from both sides.

0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336

Factor

0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)

Set both terms equal to zero and solve.

x + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x = -12

5x - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides.

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 28/5

The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5

Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.

Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5

In conclusion,

Length = 96/5 inches

Width = 28/5

For two events and , the probability that occurs is 0.8, the probability that occurs is 0.4, and the probability that both occur
sergey [27]

Answer:

P(B|A)=0.25  , P(A|B) =0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provides the following data:

P(A)= 0.8

P(B)= 0.4

P(A∩B) = 0.2

Since the question does not mention which of the conditional probabilities need to be found out, I will show the working to calculate both of them.

To calculate the probability that event B will occur given that A has already occurred (P(B|A) is read as the probability of event B given A) can be calculated as:

P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

      = (0.2) / (0.8)  

P(B|A)=0.25

To calculate the probability that event A will occur given that B has already occurred (P(A|B) is read as the probability of event A given B) can be calculated as:

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

          = (0.2)/(0.4)

P(A|B) =0.5
