A) 2L + 2W = 48
B) L * W = 140
B) W = 140 / L
Inputting this to equation A)
A) 2L + 2*(140 /L) = 48
L + 140/L = 24
Multiplying both sides by "L"
L² + 140 = 24L
L² -24L +140 = 0
(L -10) * (L-14) = 0
L= 10
L = 14
If length = 10 then width =14
If length = 14 then width = 10

What is the circumstance of the circle P .

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

=6π ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C=2πr where r is the radius and C the circumference of the circle.

In the circle provided r= 3ft

C= 2π × (3ft)

=6π ft

We do not use the approximate value of pi as the question demands us to leave pi unsolved.

About 33% of people who get their feet examined are found to have an ingrown toenail. What is the probability of a podiatrist ex

enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.94147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the podiatrist finds the first person with an ingrown toenail.

And (1 - A) denote the event that the podiatrist does not find the ingrown toenail.

While examining seven people, the podiatrist can find the very first person to have an ingrown toenail. Similarly he can find the second patient to have the ingrown toenail. Going in this way the probability of the first person to have an ingrown toenail is given by:

= A + (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A.

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} .$

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{4} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{5} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{6} \frac{1}{3}.$

= 0.94147

We can also solve the above expression by using the geometric progression formula as well where common ratio is given by $\dfrac{2}{3}$ .
