Length of rectangle is 1 unit  

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Length of a rectangle is width minus 8 units.

Area of rectangle = 9 square units

Need to calculate the length of rectangle.

Let us assume width of rectangle = x

As Length is width minus 8,  

Length of the rectangle = x – 8

\text{ Area of rectangle }=\text{ width of rectangle }\times \text{ Length of the rectangle }

\text{ Area of rectangle }= x\times (x-8)

\text { Area of rectangle }=\left(x^{2}-8 x\right)

As given that area of rectangle = 9 square units

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x=9} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x-9=0}\end{array}

On solving above quadratic equation for x, we get

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-9 x+x-9=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x(x-9)+1(x-9)=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow (x-9)(x+1)=0}\end{array}

When x-9 =9, x = 9

When x + 1 = 0, x = -1

As width cannot be negative, so considering x = 9  

\text{ Length of rectangle }= x-8 = 9-8 = 1 \text{ unit }

Hence, Length of rectangle is 1 unit.

Answer:

a) P) 0.25 = 1/4  both

b) P) 0.75 = 3/4  one

c) P) 0.25  = 1/4  none

Step-by-step explanation:

4 routes to D + H

6 routes to H + S

= D  H   S

     4  | 6

    - 2 | -3

=    2  |  3  = route 1 = 2/4  and route 2 = 3/6

= 1/2 route 1 and 1/2 route 2

Answer a ) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4  = 0.25 probability

Answer b)  = 1- (1/2 x 1/2) = 1- 0.25 = 3/4 = 0.75 probability

Answer c)  = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4 = 0.25 probability
