We can calculate the probability as the ratio between the positive outcomes (selecting Alex, in this case) and the total possible outcomes.
In one draw, Alex has a chance of 1 in 4, as only one of the four papers has his name on it.
The probability is 1/4 or 0.25.

Given:
A rectangular pool with the following measures,
Perimeter
Length = x + 8
Width = x
Let's determine the measure of its dimensions:
[tex]\text{ Perimeter = 2L + 2W}[/tex][tex]\text{ = 2(x + 8) + 2(x)}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 = 2x + 16 + 2x}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 = 4x + 16}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 - 16 = 4x}[/tex][tex]\text{ 28 = 4x}[/tex][tex]\text{ }\frac{28}{4}\text{ = }\frac{4x\text{ }}{4}[/tex][tex]\text{ 7 = x}[/tex]Let's now determine its dimensions,
Length = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 ft.
Width = x = 7 ft.
Therefore, the dimension of the rectangular pool is Length = 15 ft. and Width =7 ft.

the perimeter of a rectangle room is 60 feet. let x be the width of the room (in feet) and let y be the length of the room (in feet). select all of the questions below that could modle this situation
Answers
Given that,
The perimeter of a rectangle is 60.
The perimeter is generally defined as the length of the outline of the shape.
So, in rectangle having four sides, the perimeter would be sum of all the sides.
Length1 + length2 + length3 + length4 = perimeter
Here, length1 and length3 are equal, that are the lengths (y),
Similarly,
Length2 and length4 are equal, that is width (x).
Hence, the equation becomes,
x + y + x + y = perimeter
or
2x + 2y = 60
or
2 (x + y) = 60
Hence, the first two options are correct.

Graph the polar equation.P = 16 cos20帶이
Answers
To make the graph we need to make a table with different pairs of angles and radius.
We can start with θ = 0, and calculate the radius for different values of θ. (π/6, π/3, π/4 and so on. Then, you can join the points.
The equation for radius will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r^2=16\cos 2\theta \\ r=\sqrt[]{16\cos2\theta} \\ r=4\cdot\sqrt[]{\cos2\theta} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{for }\theta=0 \\ r=4\cdot\sqrt[]{\cos2\cdot0} \\ r=4\cdot\sqrt[]{\cos0} \\ r=4\cdot\sqrt[]{1} \\ r=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, in the line of θ = 0, you draw a point in the fourth circle.
Then, we get the following table of values:
θ r
04.00
π/63.72
π/43.36
π/32.83
π/20.00
Note that we can't evaluate angles whose cosine is negative (angles in quadrants 2 and 3) since we would be trying to calculate the square root of a negative number, which does not exist among real numbers. Then, we will evaluate angles in the first quadrant (already done) and the 4th quadrant.
θ r
-π/63.72
-π/43.36
-π/32.83
-π/20.00
In the last table we use negative angles, they can be "translated" to positive:
-π/6= π/6
-π/4= 7π/4
-π/3= 5π/3
-π/2= 3π/2
Now, we can draw the points:

[tex]AC\cong BD[/tex]There are 396 students who are enrolled in an introductory engineering course. If there are four boys to every seven girls, how many boys are in the course?
Answers
Solution
For this case we know that the total of students are 396 so we can do this:
x + y = 396
Where:
x= number of girls
y = number of boys
Then we have the following condition:
4x = 7y
Then solving for x we got:
x = 7/4 y
Replacing in the first equation we got:
7/4 y + y = 396
11/4 y= 396
y= 396*4/11 = 144
And x= 7/4 * 144 = 252
Then the answer would be:
252 girls and 144 boys
