L = W+4 (the length is 4 inches more than length (given))

.

L-2 (if 2 inches are taken from L) and added to the width (W+2) the figure becomes a square.

A square has 4 equal sides.

L-2 = W+2

.

We are told the area of the square is 272.25.

(L-2)(X+2) = 272.25

.

Substituting from L = W+4

(l+4 -2)(w+ 2) = 272.25

(w+2)(w+2) = 272.25

.

Taking the square root

(W+2) = sqrt(272.25) = 16.5

.

Subtracting 2 from both sides

W = 12

and

L = W+4 = 16

.

Is the length 4 more than width? Yes.

If you subtract 2 from length and add 2 to width, and then multiply them, is the result 272.25? Yes.

Done. kindlyrecheck=)

Answer:

0.7938

Step-by-step explanation:

z1 = (125-100)/15 = 1.667

P( < 125) = 0.9522

z2 = (85-100)/15 = -1

P( > 85) = 0.8413

0.9522 + 0.8413 - 1 = 0.7935
