2(x-3)+2(4)=40
2x-6+8=40
2x+2=40
2x=38
x=19
Length=(x-3)=(19-3)=16 cm

We actually don't need to solve for x, just legnth

P=2(L+W)
40=P
L=x-3=L (since we are solving for Legnth not specifically x)
W=4

40=2(L+4)
divide both sides by 2
20=L+4
minus 4 both sides
16=L

legnth=16 cm (x=19 just fyi)

Graph the system of equations on a graph paper.
inysia [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 6y = 48.....reduces to 4x + 3y = 24

2x - 3y = -6

4x + 3y = 24

-------------------add

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

2x - 3y = -6

2(3) - 3y = -6

6 - 3y = -6

-3y = -6 - 6

-3y = -12

y = -12/-3

y = 4

solution is : (3,4)

the ordered pair (3,4) lies in quadrant I

the x coordinate of the solution is 3

the y coordinate of the solution is 4

PLEASE HELP FAST!!! A ladder leans against a building. The top of the ladder reaches a point on the building, which is 18 feet a
weeeeeb [17]

The measure of the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the ladder is 68.73 degrees

<h3>Angle of elevation and depression</h3>

These method is used to determine the side and angles of a triangle

From the question given, we have the following parameters

Base of the building = 7feet (Adjacent side)

Height of the building = 18 feet (Opposite side)

Required

angle of elevation of the building

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tanФ = opp/adj

tanФ = 18/7

Ф = 68.73 degrees

Hence the measure of the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the ladder is 68.73 degrees

What does the slope of the line represent and what does the y-intercept of this function represent? HOW DO YOU GET THIS?!??!!

Slope is the steepness of a line while the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

How to find the size of an angle
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Well if the angle is drawn to scale you can use a protractor.

But if it’s not you need to divide the known length by the sine of its opposite angle.

So find the sine of the angle opposite to the known length.
