28-8=20 (one length is 4m more than the width, and you need to double the length to get the perimeter)
20/4=5 (4 for the 4 sides of the rectangle)
width = 5m
length = 9m

9 x 5 =45

Area = 45m²

The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which of these conditio

zzz [600]

If two events are independent, then

$Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)$ .

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}$ .

For independent events these formulas will be:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B)$ .

Now in your case $Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y$ and $Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y$ .

This shows that the only correct choice is A.
