Answer:

  b.  4.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse is given by the cosine of the angle:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(35°) = NL/NK

  NL = NK·cos(35°)

__

Similarly, it reminds you that the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse is given by the sine function:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(53°) = NM/NL

  NM = NL·sin(53°)

Substituting from the first triangle, we have ...

  NM = NK·cos(35°)·sin(53°)

  NM = (6.1 cm)(0.81915)(0.79864)

  NM ≈ 3.991 cm

  MN ≈ 4.0 cm

A rectangle has length x and width x – 3. The area of the rectangle is 10 square meters. Complete the work to find the dimension
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

The given rectangle has a length if x meters

The width of the triangle is (x-3) meters

The area of the rectangle is given as 10 square meters.

Area if rectangle = x(x-3) = 10

Multiplying each term in the parentheses,

x^2 -3x = 10

x^2 -3x -10 = 0

This is a quadratic equation

We will look for two numbers such that when they are multiplied, it will give us -10x^2 and when they are added, it will give -3x. It becomes

x^2 + 2x - 5x -10 = 0

x(x+2)-5(x+2) =0

( x + 2)(x-5) = 0

x = -2 or x = 5

The length of the rectangle cannot be negative so the length is 5 meters

Widith = x+3 = 5-3 = 2 meters

harkovskaia [24]
That symbol represents "plus out minus". usually represents uncertainty if it is beside a number.

e.g. 3± 0.3 means that the actual answer lies between 2.7 and 3.3

Alex
3.2 -9x+ 7.1 -3x
= (-9x -3x)+ (3.2+ 7.1) (combine like terms)
= -12x+ 10.3

The final answer is -12x+ 10.3~
