The length of rectangle is 31 yards and width is 24 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+7

Area of rectangle = 744 square yards

Area = Length * width

$744=w(w+7)\\744=w^2+7w\\0=w^2+7w-744\\w^2+7w-744=0$

Factorizing the equation

$w^2+31w-24w-744=0\\w(w+31)-24(w+31)=0\\(w+31)(w-24)=0$

Either,

w+31=0, =>w= -31

Or,

w-24=0 =>w=24

As width cannot be negative, therefore,

Width = 24 yards

Length = w+7 = 24+7 = 31 yards

The length of rectangle is 31 yards and width is 24 yards.

Is sqrt(1 - sin^2 θ) = cos θ true? if so, in which quadrants does angle θ terminate?

jonny [76]

Answer:

I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1-sin(θ)² = cos(θ)², the given equation is equivalent to ...

√(cos(θ)²) = |cos(θ)| = cos(θ)

This will be true where the cosine is non-negative, in the first and fourth quadrants.
