The length of the longer side of the triangle is c. 13 m

Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8

Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.

In a restaurant, the probability that a customer orders steak is 4/10.  The probability of the same customer ordering dessert af
REY [17]
The probability of two mutually independent events happening one after the other is given by the product of both probabilities. In other words, if there is an x/100 chance of A happening and a y/100 chance of B happening, then the chance of both A and B happening is (x/100)(y/100). 
There is a 4/10 chance that a random customer will order steak. Of that 4/10, there is a 1/4 chance that they will order dessert. So, the probability that both will happen is (4/10)(1/4) = 1/10.

Please help I don't know how to find area so please help
Soloha48 [4]
I think that you should imagine what regular shape the figure would have been.
The fact that two sides are 9inches makes me think it would have been a square.
The area of a square is A= l² where l is the length of one side and A=area
A=9*9
A=81 in.²
Next, find the area of the part that is taken away,(it looks like a triangle). to find that, if the figure was a square, the length on top would be 9 not 5, so the length gone is 9-5=4, so the base of the triangle is 4,
If the figure was a square, the length on the other side would be 9 not 4 so the length gone is 9-4=5, so the height of the triangle is 5
the area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh, where A is area, b is base and h is height.
A=1/2*4*5   A=10 so the area of the part gone is 10 inches²
The area of the figure is the area of the square -the area of the triangle
A=81-10
A=71inches²

The tax has made rebecca and susan worse off by a total of 25 dollars ($25). The tax made it worse because the salary of susan may reduce due to the government imposes tax on dog sitting. They will worse off by a total of 25 dollars. Maybe we can conclude $200 - $175 = $25
