A=lw=150\\l=w+6\\(w+6)w=150\\w^2+6w=150\\w^2+6w-150=0\\w=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-(6)+-\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(-150)}}{2(1)}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{36+600}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{636}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-2\sqrt{159}}{2}\\w=-3+-\sqrt{159}>0\\w=-3+\sqrt{159}\\\\l=(-3+\sqrt{159})+6\\l=3+\sqrt{159}

Width = -3 + sqrt(159)
Length = 3 + sqrt(159)

Find the value of tan(sin^-1(1/2))
suter [353]

If you know that \sin\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac12, then you know right away

\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac12\right)=\tan\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac1{\sqrt}3=\dfrac{\sqrt3}3

###

Otherwise, you can derive the same result. Let \theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac12, so that \sin\theta=\dfrac12. \sin^{-1} is bounded, so we know -\dfrac\pi2\le\theta\le\dfrac\pi2. For these values of \theta, we always have \cos\theta\ge0.

So, recalling the Pythagorean theorem, we find

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1\implies\cos\theta=\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}=\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac12\right)^2}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

Then

\tan\theta=\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt3}2}=\dfrac1{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}3

as expected.
