Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
Answer:
0.336
Step-by-step explanation:
Use binomial probability:
P = nCr p^r q^(n-r)
where n is the number of trials,
r is the number of successes,
p is the probability of success,
and q is the probability of failure (1-p).
Here, n = 8, r = 7, p = 0.8, and q = 0.2.
P = ₈C₇ (0.8)⁷ (0.2)⁸⁻⁷
P = 0.336

Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a trapezoid is
(b1 + b2)/2 × h = (10 + 5)/2 × 4 = 15 × 2 = 30 in²
