a rectangular lawn of dimensions 6x metres by x metres. In the centre is a rectangular flower bed of length (x + 4) m and width (x - 1) m. If the area of the shaded region is 40 m’, calculate the area of the flower bed.​

The area of flower bed is 8.96 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of lawn = 6 x

width of lawn = x

length of flower bed = x + 4

width of flower bed = x - 1

Area of shaded region = 40 m^2

Area of the shaded region

6 x (x) - (x +4)(x -1) = 40

As length cannot have negative value, so x = 2.4 m.

Area of flower bed = (x + 4)(x - 1) = (2.4 + 4)(2.4 - 1) = 8.96 m^2

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
