Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. You have used the word height, but I will replace it with the word width because the word height is usually used with 3D shapes.

If W is the width and the length is L, the formula for the perimeter is 2W+2L=P.

We can plug in the numbers we already have to solve for L, the length of our base.

2(14.2)+2L=66

28.4+2L=66

We subtract 28.4 from both sides.

2L=37.6

We divide both sides by 2.

L=18.8

The length of the base is 18.8 meters.

Have a wonderful day!

What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1, 2, -2. and -3
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>A polynomial with the given zeros can be represented as
   f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x+3).
   Note that if you set f(x) = 0, then 1,2,-2, and -3 certainly are the solutions. From here, we simply multiply/expand out the polynomial. We can do this in a variety of ways, one of which is taking the left two and right two products separately. We have
   (x-1)(x-2) = x^2 - 3x + 2
   and
   (x+2)(x+3) = x^2 + 5x + 6.
   This gives that
   f(x) = (x^2 - 3x + 2) (x^2 + 5x + 6).
   Expanding this expression out then gives us our answer as
    f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 8x + 12
   or answer choice B.</span>

A slide 4.4 m long makes an angle of 33 with the ground. How high is the top of the slide above the ground
svp [43]
Using the information given we will only need the Cosine and Sine equations.  i made a diagram (cant take a picture, in my study hall) labeled the sides of the triangle A, B, and C.  with C as the hypotenuse, A as the Opposite, and B as the adjacent (will not be needed as A is the height). i will be rounding the th nearest thousandth. 
Using Sine (SIN=Opposite/Hypotenuse), we can find A.

SIN(33)=A/4.4

SIN(33)≈.545

.545≈A/4.4

now multiply each side by 4.4 to get rid of the division

(.545*4.4)≈((A/4.4)4.4)

2.396≈A
 

so the answer would be that the slide is about 2.396 M high
