Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trigonometric functions to find x
13. cos 40 = 5/x
x = 5 / cos 40
x = 5 / 0.766
x = 6.5
14. tan 25 = x/9
x = 9tan 25
x = 9(0.466)
x = 4.2
15.- cos 65 = x/12
x = 12 cos 65
x = 12 (0.423)
x = 5.1
16.- sin 32 = 15/x
x = 15 / sin 32
x = 15 / 0.53
x = 28.3
17.- tan 55 = 20 / x
x = 20 / tan 55
x = 20 / 1.42
x = 14
18.- sin31 = x / 18
x = 18 sin 31
x = 18 (0.52)
x = 9.3
The length of the rectangle is based on its width, so let's call width w and put the length in terms of the width. We are told that the width is 45 less than 4 times the width, so the length is 4w - 45. Area is found by multiplying length times width and we are given the area as 3325. So we will set up length times width and solve for w, which we will then use to solve for l. 3325 = (4w - 45)(w). Multiplying out we have 
. Move the constant over by subtraction and then we will have a quadratic that can be factored to solve for w. 
. We would put that through the quadratic formula to solve for w. When we do that we get that w = 35 and w = -23.75. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative is time and distance/length, so -23.75 is out. That means that the width is 35. The length is 4(35) - 45 which is 95. The dimensions of your rectangle are length is 95 and width is 35. There you go!
Answer: Choice D. 15 - (-18)
This results in 15 - (-18) = 15 + 18 = 33.
So from -18 to 15 on a number line is 33 spaces.
We can also say
|-18 - 15| = |-33| = 33
The use of absolute value is to ensure the distance is never negative.
The correct answer would be C. Hope that helps.
