Answer:
The value of "x" is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
As can see in the attach the length of both diagonals is the same. From the problem, you have the length of segment qr = 3x -4, which represents half of the diagonal. Then, length of segment np = 5x + 20, is the completa diagonal. So, you have to multiply the equation for qr by 2 and then equal it to equation of segment np.
2·(3x - 4) = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 8 = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 5x = 20 + 8 ⇒ x = 28.
Summarizing the value of "x" is 28.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Garrett achieves a field goal is independent of each kick. Hence X no of kicks is binomial with p = 0.83, and q =0.17
No of trials 3
Hence X can take values as 0 ,1,2,3 and
, r=0,1,2,3
Using the above we obtain prob distribution as
X 0 1 2 3
P(X) 0.0049 0.0720 0.3513 0.5718
P(X>=2) =P(X=2,3,4) =0.9231
