Doubling the lengths of the sides of a rectangle quadruple the area

<h3>How to determine the effect?</h3>

Let the dimension of the rectangle be L and W.

So, the area is

A = LW

When the lengths are doubled, we have:

A2 = 2L * 2W

This gives

A2 = 4LW

This means that the initial area is multiplied by 4

Hence, doubling the lengths of the sides of a rectangle quadruple the area

Find y. Please help!

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$y\approx 11.9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have the known angle sandwiched between two known sides.

So, we have SAS.

And we want to find the side opposite to the angle.

Therefore, we can use the Law of Cosines:

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(C)\\$

Again, it is important what we substitute.

a and b are the two side lengths. So, we will substitute 8 for a and 13 for b.

C is our angle. So, substitute 64 for C.

And c is what we’re trying to solve.

Therefore:

$c^2=(8)^2+(13)^2-2(8)(13)\cos(64)$

Simplify:

$c^2=64+169-208\cos(64)$

Add:

$c^2=233-208\cos(64)$

Take the square root of both sides:

$c=\sqrt{233-\cos(64})$

Use a calculator. So, c is approximately:

$c\approx11.9$

The c is our y. So, y is approximately 11.9 units.

5x-3-2x/7=24 solve for x

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

X=5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3-2x/7=24

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

5x-3-2x/7=24

Simplifying:

5x-3-0.285714285714x=24

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+5x-0.285714285714x=+24+3

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+4.71428571429x=+27

We divide both sides of the equation by 4.71428571429 to get x.

x=5.72727272727
