<span>2(5-4a)=-33

First, you need to distribute. Multiply the 2 by each number inside the parantheses.

(2*5) - (2*4a) = -33
10 - 8a = -33

Subtract 10 from both sides.
-8a = -43

Divide both sides by -8.
a = 43/8

What is the length of segment AD? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. triangles ABC and ABD in which the triangles share

igomit [66]

Answer: 5.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Sketching the data above,

Length of segment AD can be computed using Pythagoras rule ;

Where segment AD = hypotenuse

Segment AB = 3 = opposite

Sin Θ = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin 31° = 3 / hypotenuse

Hypotenuse × 0.5150380 = 3

Hypotenuse = 3 / 0.5150380

Hypotenuse = 5.8248120 units

Hypotenuse = 5.83 units

Find n. Perimeter = 86 in.

FromTheMoon [43]

Let the length of rectangle be L and the width of rectangle be W.
Since length exceeds the width by 25 inches, length will be
L = W + 25

Now the perimeter, P, is given by
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting L = W + 25 in the above equation,
P = 2(W + 25 + W)
P = 2(2W + 25)
P = 4W + 50
But P = 86 inches
P = 4W + 50 = 86
4W = 86 - 50 = 36
W = 36/4 = 9

Hence, width W = 9 inches.
Length L = W + 25 = 9 + 25 = 34 inches.
