Answer:

The correct answer is the length is 10 feet and width is 2 feet respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of the rectangular floor of Louis' basement be l feet and width be \frac{l}{5} feet respectively.

Area of the basement floor is given to be 500 square feet.

Therefore according to the given problem,

l × \frac{l}{5}  = 500

⇒ l^{2} = 100

⇒ l = 10 ; [length cannot be negative]

⇒ b = 2

Thus the length and width be 10 feet and 2 feet respectively.

stiv31 [10]

Answer: 22.0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with \mu=23.3\ cm and \sigma=1.3\ cm.

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long.

Then, the probability that women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller :-

P(x\leq22.4)=P(z\leq\dfrac{22.4-23.4}{1.3})\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\\approx P(z\leq-0.77)\\\\=1-P(z\leq0.77)\\\\=1-0.77935=0.2206499\approx0.2206=22.06\%

Hence,  the required answer = 22.0.6%
