B. 3 √3

The shortcuts for a 30 60 90 triangle is that the:

Hypotenuse is 2 times the short leg

The long leg is √3 times the short leg.

Making it 3 √3

Another way is by the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+b^2=6^2

9+b^2=36

Subtract 9 from both sides

b^2=27

Square root both sides

b=5.2 or the √27

√27 can be simplified more

An equation that equals to 27 that has a perfect square is 9*3


√9* √3

The perfect square of 9 equals to 3

So 3 √3

Neither P, nor A are on the sketch 
I guess P is the upper right corner of the rectangle 
and A=(0,1) 

P belongs to the line going through (1,0) and B(0,y) 
<span>but we don't know the y-coordinate of B </span>

<span>the triangle is right and isosceles, so pythagoras a²+a²=2² ... 2a²=4 ... a²=2 ... a=sqrt2 </span>
now look at the right triangle BOA 
<span>his hypotenuse is AB=sqrt2 and the <span>the kathete</span> OA is 1 </span>
so y²+1²=(sqrt2)² ... y²+1=2 ... y²=1.. y=1 
so the coordinates of B are (0,1) 

the line going through (1,0) and (0,1) is L(x)=-x+1 

P belongs to this line, so the coordinates of P are P(x,-x+1) (0<x<1) 

b) so if that's P, the height of the rectangle is -x+1 and the width=2x 
<span>so its area A(x)=2x*(-x+1)= -2x²+2x 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Since you are given that the student registered early, the total number you deal with is all students who registered early.

211 + 329 = 540

number of undergraduates who registered early = 211

Among students who registered early:

p(undergraduate) = 211/540
