<h3>Answer: P(B) = 7/20</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

Given info

P(A) = 7/20

P(A∩B)=49/400

P(B) = unknown

--------------------

P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B), assuming A and B are independent events

49/400 = (7/20)*P(B)

(7/20)*P(B) = 49/400

P(B) = (20/7)(49/400)

P(B) = (20*49)/(7*400)

P(B) = (20*7*7)/(7*20*20)

P(B) = 7/20

---------------------

Note how

P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A∩B) = (7/20)*(7/20)

P(A∩B) = (7*7)/(20*20)

P(A∩B) = 49/400

which helps to confirm the answer.

A rectangle has the length of 22 inches less than 7 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 3197 square inches, find th

Nikolay [14]

The length of rectangle is 139 inches

Solution:

Given that, area of the rectangle is 3197 square inches

Let "L" be the length of rectangle and "W" be the width of rectangle

Also given that rectangle has the length of 22 inches less than 7 times the width

Length = 7 times width - 22

L = 7W - 22

<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

$\text {Area of rectangle }=\text { length } \times \text { width }$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{3197=(7 W-22)(W)} \\\\ {3197=7 W^{2}-22 W} \\\\ {7 W^{2}-22 W-3197=0}\end{array}$

On solving the above quadratic equation using quadratic formula,

$\text {For the quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0 \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\left(b^{2}-4 a c\right)}}{2 a}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text {Here in } 7 \mathrm{W}^{2}-22 \mathrm{W}-3197=0} \\\\ {a=7 ; b=-22 ; c=-3197}\end{array}$

Substituting in above quadratic formula,

$\begin{array}{l}{W=\frac{-(-22) \pm \sqrt{\left((-22)^{2}-4(7)(-3197)\right)}}{2 \times 7}} \\\\ {W=\frac{22 \pm \sqrt{90000}}{14}=\frac{22 \pm 300}{14}} \\\\ {W=\frac{22+300}{14} \text { or } W=\frac{22-300}{14}} \\\\ {W=23 \text { or } W=-19.85}\end{array}$

Since width of rectangle cannot be negative, ignore negative value of "W"

So width W = 23 inches

Length L = 7W - 22 = 7(23) - 22 = 139 inches

Thus length of rectangle is 139 inches

meriva

Answer:

2.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimter= 28ft

W= x ft

L= 3x+5

but

P=2L+2W

substitute

28=2*(3x+5)+2x

28=6x+10+2x

collet like terms

28=8x+10

28-10= 8x

18=8x

divide both sides by 8

x= 18/8

x=2.25 ft

Hence the width is 2.25 ft

Facts about pasical's education

Paha777 [63]

Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 - August 19, 1662) was a great contributor to math, science, and philosophy, especially Christian philosophy. Interesting Blaise Pascal Facts: Pascal's early education in France was conducted at home by his father due to the prodigious talent and understanding he showed as a child. Did u mean pascal instead of pasical becaus ethere is no such thing. Hope I helped :)
