So we have lengths a and b and are given:
2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272
plug in one into the other:
(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0
Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.
So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.
It is stil half becuase the real probability doesnt change
1; (1/4)/(1/4), all you do is flip the fraction to make the reciprocal and multiply, so (4/1)x(1/4)=1
Answer:
7 and 1/4 or 7.25
Step-by-step explanation:
28/4 = 7
1/4 = 0.25
7 + 0.25 = 7.25
