Answer:

the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dimension of the rectangle is shown below:

Given that

The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm

The width be x

So, the length would be 2 1 ÷ 4 x - 3 i.e.  9 ÷ 4x - 3

Now as we know that

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + width)

20 = 2 (9 ÷ 4x - 3 + x)

20 = 9 ÷ 2x - 6 + 2x

20 = 4.5x - 6 + 2x

26 = 6.5x

x = 4 cm

Now the length would be

= 9 × 4  ÷ 4  - 3

= 6 cm

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

AnnyKZ [126]

Since A is the midpoint of BC, we can assume BA and AC are equal to each other.

We also know that BC = BA + AC = 23 + 23 = 46

Answer:

p=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a club can select one member to attend a conference. All of the club officers want to attend. There are a total of four officers, and their designated positions within the club are President (P), Vice dash President (Upper V )comma Secretary (Upper S )comma nbspand Treasurer (Upper T ).

Sample space would be

a){ {P}, {V}, {S} {T}} is the sample space with notations standing for as given in the question

b) Each sample is equally likely. Hence we have equal chances for selecting any one out of the four.

If probability of selecting a particular sample of size I is p, the by total probability axiom we have

\begin{gathered}4p =1\\p =0.25\end{gathered}

4p=1
