We have the following dimensions:
w=wide
w+70=length

We have a right triangle:
leg₁=w
leg₂=w+70
hypotenuse=130

Pythagoras theorem:
leg₁²+leg₂²=hypotenuse²
Then:

w²+(w+70)²=130²

We have to solve that equation:
w²+(w+70)²=130²
w²+w²+140w+4900=16900
2w²+140w+4900-16900=0
2w²+140w-12000=0
(2w²+140w-12000)/2=0/2
w²+70w-6000=0

w=(-70⁺₋√(4900+24000)) / 2
=(-70⁺₋170) / 2
We have two possible solutions:
Solution 1

w=(-70-170)/2=-120   (this solution is not possible because the result is negative and it have no sense in this problem).

Solution 2

w=(-70+170)/2=50  (this is the right solution)

w=50
w+70=120

ANSWER:  the length would be 120 u  (u=units of length ) and the wide would be 50 u.

Sketch the curve with the given vector equation. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which t increases. r(t) = 4 cos(t)i + 4
slega [8]

Answer:

The equation to this question is "x^2+y^2=16"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

\to  r(t) = 4 \cos (t)i + 4 sin(t)j + k\\where \\\\\to x(t)= 4 \cos t\\\to y(t) = 4 \sin t\\\to z(t)=1\\

\to x^2+y^2= 16 \cos^2 t +16 \sin^2 t\\\\\to x^2+y^2= 16 (\cos^2 t +\sin^2 t)\\\\\therefore (\cos^2 t +\sin^2 t =1)\\\\\to x^2+y^2= 16 (1)\\\\\to x^2+y^2= 16\\\\\to z=1

 So, the curve r(t) = 4 \cos (t)i + 4 sin(t)j + k is basically a circle, which is defined in the attachment file.

Jodie ran at an average speed of 10 km/h for 15 minutes.<br> How far did she run in km?
laiz [17]

Answer:

2.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

15 minutes is

15 minutes * 1 hour/ 60 minutes = 1/4 hour

15 minutes = 1/4 of an hour

10 km/ hour * 1/4 hour = 10/4  km  = 2.5 km
