Answer:

The length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that is a rectangle

Let

x----> the length of rectangle

y ---> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is

A=xy

A=20 cm²

20=xy -----> equation A

The perimeter of rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

P=18 cm

18=2(x+y)

9=x+y -----> y=9-x ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

20=x(9-x)

20=9x-x²

x²-9x+20=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=5 cm (I assume that the length is greater than the width)

see the attached figure

Find the value of y

y=9-5=4 cm

therefore

The length is 5 cm

The width is 4 cm

If you flip a fair coin 4 times, what is the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3/8 NOT 50%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is to figure out how many ways you can get exactly 222 tails, then divide this by the total number of outcomes you could have gotten. Since every outcome has equal probability, this will be the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails.

How many outcomes are there where you get exactly 2 tails? Try thinking of each outcome as a 4-letter word, where the first letter is "H" if the first coin toss was heads and "T" if it was tails, and so on.

So, the number of outcomes with exactly 2 tails is the same as the number of these words which have 2 T's and 2 H's.

How many of these are there? If we treat all the letters as unique, we'll find that there are 4! different arrangements, overcounting 2! times for every time we only switch the T's around, and 2! times for every time we only switch the H's around.

So, there are 4!/2!2! = 6

4!/2!2!= 6 different outcomes where you get exactly 2 tails.

Altogether, there are 2^4 = 16 total possible outcomes.

So, the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails is 6/16 = 3/8
