Answer:

63%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of conditional probability.

The two events that are given are:

  • Car stuck in the snow - Let it be event S. P(S) = 70% = 0.70
  • Require a tow truck - Let it be event T.

We have to find the probability of being stuck in the snow AND requiring a tow truck which can be given as P(S and T)

We are also given the conditional probability, which is P(T | S) = 90% = 0.90

Using the given formula for our case we can modify the formula as:

P(T|S)=\frac{P(S \cap T)}{P(S)}

0.90=\frac{P(S \cap T)}{0.70}\\\\ P(S \cap T)=0.90 \times 0.70\\\\ P(S \cap T)=0.63

Therefore, there is 63% (0.63) chance that you will get stuck in the snow with your car AND require a tow truck to pull you out

The answer is 3 cm. You just have to add the sides you know (6 and 8) and subtract that from the perimeter (18)
