Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256

"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W

we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W

distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256

add like terms
16 + 4W = 256

subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240

divide both sides by 4
W = 60

plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now

L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68

therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60

Rx+h=sx-k solve for x
timama [110]
Rx + h = sx - k        Take all with x to the LHS

Rx - sx = -k - h

x(R - s) = - k -h

x =  (-k - h) / (R - s).  Multiply top and bottom by -1.

x =  (k + h) / (s - R)

What is the y-value for f(x) = cos(x) when x = 180°?<br> -1<br> 0<br> 1/2<br> 1
maksim [4K]
You start at 0 on the unit circle the cos of 0 =1, but at cos 0 there is no angle at all so there is no y value so at cos 0 y=0, 180 is the opposite direction of the starting point which is 0 so the x value of cos180= -1 but there is still no upward or downward angle ie.. y value. so the y value = 0 at 0 and 180. answer is 0
