The sides of a rectangle have the ratio 7:2. its perimeter is 207cm. Find the area

X - unit of length
w,l - the sides of a rectangle

7 : 2 ⇒ 7x : 2x

Perimeter: P = 207cm
Perimeter: P = 2w + 2l

therefore: 2w + 2l = 207 |divide both sides by 2

w + l = 103.5 (cm)

w : l = 7 : 2 ⇒ w : l = 7x : 2x ⇒ w = 7x; l = 2x

subtitute

7x + 2x = 103.5
9x = 103.5 |divide both sides by 9
x = 11.5 (cm)

7x = 7 · 11.5cm = 80.5cm
2x = 2 · 11.5cm = 23cm

w = 80.5cm; l = 23cm

Area = wl

Area: A = 80.5cm · 23cm = 1851.5cm²

Using a trigonometric identity, it is found that the values of the cosine and the tangent of the angle are given by:

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$\tan{\theta} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

<h3>What is the trigonometric identity using in this problem?</h3>

The identity that relates the sine squared and the cosine squared of the angle, as follows:

$\sin^{2}{\theta} + \cos^{2}{\theta} = 1$

In this problem, we have that the sine is given by:

$\sin{\theta} = \frac{1}{3}$

Hence, applying the identity, the cosine is given as follows:

$\cos^2{\theta} = 1 - \sin^2{\theta}$

$\cos^2{\theta} = 1 - \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2$

$\cos^2{\theta} = 1 - \frac{1}{9}$

$\cos^2{\theta} = \frac{8}{9}$

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{8}{9}}$

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$

The tangent is given by the sine divided by the cosine, hence:

$\tan{\theta} = \frac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}$

$\tan{\theta} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\pm \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}}$

$\tan{\theta} = \pm \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\tan{\theta} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Fourteen out of 20 teens said they eat breakfast every morning what is a reasonable prediction for the number of teens out of 12

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

896

Step-by-step explanation:

14 of 20 teens eats breakfast every morning.

The percentage of those who eat breakfast every morning

= 14/20 x 100%

= 0.7 x 100%

= 70%

So, 70% of 20 teens eat breakfast every morning.

The reasonable prediction for the number of teens that eats breakfast every morning from 1280 teens will be 70% of 1280.

70/100 x 1280

0.7 x 1280

896

The prediction would be 896 out of 1280 teens eats breakfast every morning
