You have to guess the first 5 digits.

You can calcualte the number of possible numbers that exist with 5 digits.

The first digit cannot be 0, it can be any from 1 to 9, so those are 9 diferent digits.

For the second, third, fourth and fifth digits there are 10 diferent posibilities for each: 0 through 9.

Then, there are 9*10*10*10*10 = 90,000 different possible social security numbers once the last four digits are known.

And the probability to get the correct social security number of the person is 1 /90,000 = 0,000011.

Rudik [331]
The area is:
 A = x * y
 The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 100
 We clear y:
 2y = 100-2x
 y = 50-x
 We write the area in terms of x:
 A (x) = x * (50-x)
 Rewriting:
 A (x) = 50x-x ^ 2
 Deriving:
 A '(x) = 50-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 50-2x = 0
 x = 50/2
 x = 25
 Then, the other dimension is given by:
 y = 50-x
 y = 50-25
 y = 25
 Therefore, the largest area is:
 A = (25) * (25)
 A = 625 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the largest area you can enclose using the materials you have is:
 
A = 625 feet ^ 2

2n,perimeter of rectangle is 12n ( width is 2n because length is twice of the width)
1/2 of that ( because the perimeter of the rectangle is twice of the equilateral triangle) is 6n. Since its an equilateral triangle, divide 6n by 3 to get 2n

melisa1 [442]
D + 3r = 15
d = r + 3

r + 3 + 3r = 15
4r + 3 = 15
4r = 15 - 3
4r = 12
r = 12/4
r = 3 ....he bought 3 roses, at $ 3 per rose = $ 9 <==

d = r + 3
d = 3 + 3
d = 6....he bought 6 daisies, at $ 1 per daisy = $ 6

The slope:

m = 6  ( we have the same slope for AB and A`B` )
AB = √[( 3 - 2 )² + ( 8 - 2 )²] = √37
