Answer:

Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

and  Width = 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle  = k inches

So, the Length of the rectangle = (3k - 5) inches

Perimeter = 70 inches

Now, Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

= 2 (k + (3k-5))

⇒  2 (k + (3k-5))   = 70

or, 2(k + 3k -5) = 70   ⇒    2(4k - 5)  = 70

⇒ 8k - 10 = 70

or, 8k = 70+ 10 = 80

or, k = 80/8 = 10

So, the Length = 10 inches

Hence, Width = 3k - 5 = 3(10) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25 inches

So, Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

                            and  Width = 25 inches

Two people meet for the first time. What is the probability that they both have the same birthday?
Alenkinab [10]
<span>The first person can have any birthday. That gives him 365 possible birthdays out of 365 days, so the probability of the first person having the "right" birthday is 365/365, or 100%.The chance that the second person has the same birthday is 1/365. To find the probability that both people have this birthday, we have to multiply their separate probabilities. (365/365) * (1/365) = 1/365, or about 0.27%.</span>

Distance from a point to a line (Coordinate Geometry)

Method 1: When the line is vertical or horizontal , the distance from a point to a vertical or horizontal line can be found by the simple difference of coordinates . Finding the distance from a point to a line is easy if the line is vertical or horizontal. We simply find the difference between the appropriate coordinates of the point and the line. In fact, for vertical lines, this is the only way to do it, since the other methods require the slope of the line, which is undefined for evrtical lines.

Method 2: (If you're looking for an equation) Distance = | Px - Lx |

Hope this helps!
