Step-by-step explanation:
the probability of A working is 60% or 0.6, so the probability it does not work is 40% or 0.4.
the probability of B working is 90% or 0.9, so the probability it does not work is 10% or 0.1.
plan 1
it is the probabilty that either A works, or (if it is not working) B works.
0.6 + 0.4×0.9 = 0.6 + 0.36 = 0.96
plan 2
either B works, or (if it is not working) A works
0.9 + 0.1×0.6 = 0.9 + 0.06 = 0.96
both plans have the same success probability.

Answer: Length: 4, width: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x and width be y
Then x=2y-8 and xy=24
Substitute to get 2y-8 * y = 24, so 2y^2-8y=24 or y^2-4y=12, then solve to get y=6 or y=-2. Since width is positive y=6.
Substitute y=6 into xy=24 to get x=4.
Length: 4, width: 6
