Given information
----------------------------------------------------
Area = 40ft²
Length = √20 ft
----------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width
----------------------------------------------------
Find Width
----------------------------------------------------
40 = √20 x width
Width = 40 ÷ √20
Width = 40 ÷ 2√5
Width = 20 ÷ √5

Lets discern the infomation:
number_men = 165*0.6 = 99
so there are 99 men
non_fiction = 165 * 0.4 = 66
so 66 authors write non-fiction.
men writing non-fiction are 40, so 59 men write fiction, and 26 women write non-fiction.
probability of author non-fiction or man?
non-fiction: 40 men + 26 women = 66 total
man writers = 99
so in total 99 man + 26 women = 115 authors
hence the probability is:
115/165 = 69.6%
