For this problem, we are going to use the <em>law of sines</em>, which states:
In this case, we have an angle and two sides, and we are trying to look for the third side. First, we have to find the angle which corresponds with the second side, 
. Then, we can find the third side. Using the law of sines, we can find:
We can use this to solve for :
Now, we can find 
:
Using this, we can find 
:
c is approximately 17.5.
Mike has 78 feet of fencing available for his garden, this is the perimeter (P) of the rectangle:
Perimeter: P=78 feet
The formula of Perimeter is:
P=2(W+L), where W is the width and L is the length, then:
P=78→2(W+L)=78
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2(W+L)/2=78/2
W+L=39
If the shape is of a golden rectangle, we know:
L=1.6W
Replacing this above:
W+1.6W=39
Adding similar terms:
2.6W=39
Solving for W
2.6W/2.6=39/2.6
W=15 feet
L=1.6W=1.6(15)→L=24 feet
Answer: T<span>he dimensions of the garden are: Width=15 feet and Length=24 feet. </span>
The perimeter because the fence goes AROUND the yard, not in it.
P = 2w + 2l
P = 2(60) + 2(20)
P = 120 + 40
P = 160
Charlene needs 160 meters of fencing material.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the first coordinates are both (0,0) it implies that the line passes through the origin.
The slope of the line is therefore 5/8
The equation:
y-0=5/8(x-0)
y=5/8x
