Answer:

The width = 8 meters

The length = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Perimeter of the rectangle is 40 meters.

Width is 4 meters less than the length or x - 4

40 = 2(x-4) + 2x

40 = 2x - 8 + 2x

40 = 4x - 8

48 = 4x

12 = x

Width = 12 - 4 = 8

Use similar triangles (see the picture I drew at the bottom)

$\frac{6.3}{13.8} = \frac{18.9}{x} \\6.3x=(13.8)(18.9)\\6.3x=260.82\\x=41.4$

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Interestingly, the likelihood of a randomly chosen student being a female is 0.58 at this school.

Step-by-step explanation:

This school features more female students than male students. Consequently, if resources are allocated equally (because it has been found that both female and male male students are similarly likely to be involved), the number of female students involved in after-school athletics programs is greater than the number of male students and could clarify the facilities issues.
