Answer:

13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width then length is w + 6

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width , then

A = w(w + 6) = 91 , that is

w² + 6w = 91 ( subtract 91 from both sides )

w² + 6w - 91 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

(w + 13)(w - 7) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w + 13 = 0 ⇒ w = - 13

w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 7

however, w > 0 then w = 7

and length = w + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 in

A roof has the shape of an isosceles triangle with equal sides 8 cm long and base 12 m long. What is the measure of the angle of
victus00 [196]

Answer:

41 degrees to the nearest degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line drawn from the vertex and bisecting the base forms 2 right triangles.

The base of one right triangle = 1/2 * 12 = 6 m.

So cos A = adjacent side /hypotenuse   where A is the angle of inclination.

cos A=  6 / 8 = 0.75

m < A = 41.41 degrees.
