Width = 10 feet

Length = 40 feet

================================================

Explanation:

W = width

L = 4W = four times the width = length

P = perimeter

P = 2*(W+L)

P = 2*(W+4W)

P = 2(5W)

P = 10W

The perimeter is 100 feet.

P = 100

10W = 100 .... plug in P = 10W

W = 100/10 .... divide both sides by 10

W = 10

The width is 10 feet.

L = 4W

L = 4*10

L = 40

The length is 40 feet.

-----------------

Check:

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2(40+10)

P = 2(50)

P = 100

or another way to check is to add up the four sides {10, 40, 10, 40}

10+40+10+40 = 50+50 = 100

This confirms the answer.

Answer:

<h2>Width = 10 feet</h2><h2>Length = 40 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2W

where

P = 100 feet

L = 4W

plugin values into the formula:

100 = 2(4W) + 2W

100 = 8W + 2W

100 = 10W

W = 100/10

W = 10 feet

L = 4W

L = 4(10)

L = 40 feet

P = 2(40) + 2(10)

P = 80 + 20

P = 100

Answer:

4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers where the letters are and do the arithmetic.

$\left(2\cdot\dfrac{-1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{-2}{5}\right)^2=\dfrac{(-2)^2}{5^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{4}{25}}$

How much higher is Checkpoint 5 than Checkpoint 2?

Akimi4 [234]

You have to find the difference in height between both checkpoints. To do this just calculate 196 - 52. Checkpoint 5 is 144 (meters?) higher than Checkpoint 2.

How can the Pythagorean Identity be used to find sin θ, cos θ, or tan θ and the quadrant location of the angle?

Archy [21]

First lets see the pythagorean identities

$sin^2 \Theta + cos^2 \Theta =1$

So if we have to solve for sin theta , first we move cos theta to left side and then take square root to both sides, that is

$sin^2 \Theta = 1-cos^2 \Theta => sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-cos^2 \Theta}$

Now we need to check the sign of sin theta

First we have to remember the sign of sin, cos , tan in the quadrants. In first quadrant , all are positive. In second quadrant, only sin and cosine are positive. In third quadrant , only tan and cot are positive and in the last quadrant , only cos and sec are positive.

So if theta is in second quadrant, then we have to positive sign but if theta is in third or fourth quadrant, then we have to use negative sign .
