it would be 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Wa=0.5Wb, Ha=20, Hb is unkown
the area of rectangle a is : Wa*20
the area of rectangle b is : Wb*Hb
Rectangle a has 7 times the area of rectangle b: Wa*20=7*Wb*Hb
Replace Wa with 0.5Wb: 0.5Wb*20=7Wb*Hb => Hb=10/7
Let, the numbers = x,y
x+y= 24 1st eqn
x-y = 44 2nd eqn
24-y-y = 44
-2y = 44-24
y = 20/-2 = -10
substitute that in equation 1st x = 24+10 = 34
so, the numbers would be 34 & -10
Answer:
The probability is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.
The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8,
For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function
with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.
Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.
We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

Answer:
117600
Step-by-step explanation:
50 x 49 x 48 = 117,600 ways
You have 50 possible for 1st, 49 for 2nd, 48 for 3rd
or
Permutations 50P3 = 117,600
