Answer:

w=3,\ l=x-2

l=3,\ w=x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and width.

A=l.w

If we knew the value of the area, we would not be able to know any of its dimensions without being given other piece of information. We can only make assumptions.

The question states the area of the rectangular patio is 3x-6 units, i.e.

l.w=3x-6

We know the product of two quantities results 3x-6, so we can factor that expression to have a possible combination between l and w. Factoring by 3:

l.w=3(x-2)

We can say that

l=3,\ w=x-2

It can be said also

w=3,\ l=x-2

These are not the only possible combinations, but they are as simple as possible

Surface are of a rectangular prism = 2(l x w + l x h + w x h) = 2(10 x 3 + 10x + 3x) = 2(30 + 13x) = 60 + 26x

Volume of a rectangular prism = l x w x h = 10 * 3 * x = 30x

Since surface area = volume
60 + 26x = 30x
4x = 60
x = 15 in

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student is a liberal arts or female, we have to add together all of the people who were female or liberal arts majors in the study. If we add those together, (15 + 18 + 17 + 20) we get 70. 70/100 can be simplified to 7/10.
