A manufacturer of liquid laundry detergent has a .02 probability that the detergent bottles will be improperly filled. (Either too much or too little detergent.) There is a .03 probability that the label on the bottle will not be affixed properly. If the events of bottle fill and affixing the label are independent, then the probability of a bottle being filled improperly and having an improperly affixed label is

0.0006

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is

Given that

A denotes the bottle being filled improperly

And,  

B denotes the label on the bottle will not be affixed properly

So,

P(A) = 0.02 ,

ANd, P(B) = 0.03

Also that A and B are independent events.

So, by property of independence is

P(A \cap B) = P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)

= P(A and B) =P(A)P(B)

= 0.02 × 0.03

= 0.0006

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
