The width of a golden rectangle is 15 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest foot.

Answer:

79 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Golden rectangle side ratios   1 : (1+sqrt5 )/2

      (approx  1: 1.618)

15 + 15   +  2*15*1.618 = <u>~79 ft </u>

BUT perhaps the 15 is the 1.618 side

15/1.618 + 15/1.618   + 15 + 15   ~ 49 feet

Which of the following in an identity?
sammy [17]
By "which is an identity" they just mean "which trigonometric equation is true?"

What you have to do is take one of these and sort it out to an identity you know is true, or...

*FYI: You can always test identites like this:
Use the short angle of a 3-4-5 triangle, which would have these trig ratios:
sinx = 3/5    cscx = 5/3
cosx = 4/5   secx = 5/4
tanx = 4/3    cotx = 3/4
Then just plug them in and see if it works. If it doesn't, it can't be an identity!

Let's start with c, just because it seems obvious.
The Pythagorean identity states that sin²x + cos²x = 1, so this same statement with a minus is obviously not true.

Next would be d. csc²x + cot²x = 1 is not true because of a similar Pythagorean identity 1 + cot²x = csc²x. (if you need help remembering these identites, do yourslef a favor and search up the Magic Hexagon.)

Next is b. Here we have (cscx + cotx)² = 1. Let's take the square root of each side...cscx + cotx = 1. Now you should be able to see why this can't work as a Pythagorean Identity. There's always that test we can do for verification...5/3 + 3/4 ≠ 1, nor is (5/3 +  3/4)².

By process of elimination, a must be true. You can test w/ our example ratios:
sin²xsec²x+1 = tan²xcsc²x
(3/5)²(5/4)²+1 = (4/5)²(5/3)²
(9/25)(25/16)+1 = (16/25)(25/9)
(225/400)+1 = (400/225)
(9/16)+1 = (16/9)
(81/144)+1 = (256/144)
(81/144)+(144/144) = (256/144)
(256/144) = (256/144)

The price of a math book is $50 but you only have $35 with you. If you get a discount of 20% how much money do you need to borro
geniusboy [140]
$5 because you do 50 times 20% (get 10) subtract 10 from 50 (50-10). You’d get $40! You have $35 so therefore, $40-$35=$5!
