Answer:

Length = 9units

Width = 7units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that the length is 2units more than the width

Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x

ie

Width = x

Length = 2 + x

Area of the rectangle = 63units

Area of rectangle = l * b

l - length of the rectangle

b - width of the rectangle

A = l * b

63 = (2 + x) * x

63 = ( 2 + x) x

63 = 2x + x^2

Let's rearrange it

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Let's find the factor of 63

A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2

Let's use -7 and +9

x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0

Separate with brackets

( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0

x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9) = 0

( x - 7) = 0

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative

So therefore,

x = 7

Length = 2 + x

= 2 + 7

= 9units

Width = x

= 7units

Out of 18 people in a room, 2 have red hair. What is the probability that a person picked at random from the room does NOT have
Mariana [72]

Answer :

  • Total number of people in the room = 18

  • Number of people with red hair = 2

  • Number of people not with red hair = 18 - 2 = 16

  • Probability of picking a person who doesn't have red hair = \sf\dfrac{Number\:of\:favourable\:outcomes}{Total\:outcomes}

Probability = 16/18

Reduce the fraction with 2

Probability = 8/9
