Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation using the square area formula, A = s²

Let x represent the original side length:

(x + 3)² = 64

Simplify:

x² + 6x + 9 = 64

Subtract 64 from both sides:

x² + 6x - 55

Factor by finding 2 factors of -55 that add up to 6:

(x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

Solve for the 2 solutions:

x + 11 = 0

x = -11

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The side length cannot be be negative, so the answer is 5.

The side length of the original square is 5 m.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: radius of the largest circle is Zero.

Step-by-step explanation: A circle can't fit into an ellipse with such coordinate (3,0). What that coordinate means is that the ellipse lies along the x axis 3unit from the origin along the x axis and 0 unit from the origin along the y axis. At which no circle can fit in.

Moreso, the the coordinates at which the circle intercepts the ellipse as to be uniform not (3,0).

A circle as a constant radii coordinate on both axis.

I believe you can now see why my answer is Zero.

skad [1K]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing

n ( 1 + n )

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Bob hits target ) = 1/3

P( Eve hits target ) = 2/3

P( Carol hits target ) = 1

<u>Compute the P that Bob wins in a duel against Eve alone</u>

P(Bob hits the target in first shot ) = n = 1/3

P(Bob hits the target in second shot ) = n^2 = ( 1/3 * 1/3 ) = 1/9

hence the probability of Bob winning( i.e. P( Bob wins Event E1  ) = n + n^2 = n ( 1 + n )
