The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides

a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation

b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9


2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9

the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in

What is cos theta when sin theta = sqrt 2/3
Fittoniya [83]

<u>Answer:</u>

Value of cosθ is ±√7/3 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Question , value of :

\red{\implies sin\theta = \dfrac{\sqrt2}{3}}

And , we know the identity of sine and cosine as ,

\boxed{\pink{\sf\implies sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1} }

<u>Using</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>ident</u><u>ity</u><u> </u><u>we</u><u> </u><u>have</u><u> </u><u>;</u><u> </u>

\implies sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies \bigg( \dfrac{\sqrt2}{3}\bigg)^2 + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{9} + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies cos^2\theta = 1 - \dfrac{2}{9} \\\\\implies cos^2\theta = \dfrac{9-2}{9} \\\\\implies cos\theta = \sqrt{\dfrac{7}{9}} \\\\\underline{\boxed{\blue{\bf \implies cos\theta = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt 7 }{3}}}}

Now , here since θ is in 2nd quadrant and in 2nd quadrant cos is negative . Hence ,the value of cos will be :

\boxed{\orange{\bf \implies cos\theta =-\dfrac{\sqrt7}{3}}}

Harrizon [31]
the answer should be letter A

the difference of 3.4 and 1.25 = 2.15

Now you know that there will be 2 whole blocks and .15 of a block

.15 is equal to 3/20 which is equal to 15/100.

So you will have 2 whole blocks and 15/100 of a blocks. So the answer is A
