Can someone check my answer?? PLEASE- The length of a rectangle is six more than the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 40 ft, find the length of the rectangle.

A. 13 ft (what I think)

B. 7 ft

C. 23 ft

D. 17 ft

the length of the rectangle is 13 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

width of a rectangle x ft

length of a rectangle x+6 ft

the perimeter of the rectangle is 40 ft,

2(x+x+6) = 40

2x+6 = 20

2x = 14

x = 7

So the length of the rectangle is x+6 = 7+6 = 13 ft

congrats you're right (≧▽≦)!!

There is some inforrmation that is missing in this question. It should read:

A container holds 50 electronic components, of which 10 are defective. If 6 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that at least 4 are not defective is . If 8 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that exactly 3 of them are defective is .

Answers

Part 1.   0.02

Part 2.  0.0375

Explanation

The probability is a chance of an event happening. It is calculated as;

probability = (Number of favourable outcome)/(Number of available outcome)

Part 1

6 are chosen at random. If 4 are not defective, then 2 are defective.

P(at least 4 are not defective) = 4/40 × 2/10

                                               = 1/10 ×1/5

                                               = 1/50

                                                = 0.02

Part 2

8 are chosen at random. If 3 are defective, the 5 are not defective.  

P(3 are defective) = 3/40 × 5/10  

                            = 15/400

                            = 3/80

                           = 0.0375
