Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x: 
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4  & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

A box contains four equal sized cards labeled 1, 3,5, and 7. Tim will select one card from the bow. What is the probability that
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: The probability is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The labels on the 4 cards are 1, 3, 5 and 7. Because the cards are equal, the probability of dragging at random each one of them is equal to 1/4 = 0.25.

Now, the probability that Tim selects a card labeled with a 4 is equal to the number of cards labeled with a 4, divided the total number of cards.

We do not have cards labeled with a 4, so the probability is:

p = 0/4 = 0

because we do not have any card labeled with a 4, the probability of selecting one at random is equal to zero.
