Arectangle has a perimeter of 20 cm. the length, x cm, of one side of this rectangle is uniformly distributed between 1 cm and 7 cm. find the probability that the length of the longer side of the rectangle is more than 6 cm long.

it is x=-4

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)

inverse operation of addition
