Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p
zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3

------

<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y

------

<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\

------

<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y

Answer:

y+9=3/4(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-9)=3/4(x-8)

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS PLEASE IT IS ON BEARING

Answer:

  (i) x° = 70°, y° = 20°

  (ii) ∠BAC ≈ 50.2°

  (iii) 120

  (iv) 300

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Angle x° is congruent with the one marked 70°, as they are "alternate interior angles" with respect to the parallel north-south lines and transversal AB.

  x = 70

The angle marked y° is the supplement to the one marked 160°.

  y = 20

__

(ii) The triangle interior angle at B is x° +y° = 70° +20° = 90°, so triangle ABC is a right triangle. With respect to angle BAC, side BA is adjacent, and side BC is opposite. Then ...

  tan(∠BAC) = BC/BA = 120/100 = 1.2

  ∠BAC = arctan(1.2) ≈ 50.2°

__

(iii) The bearing of C from A is the sum of the bearing of B from A and angle BAC.

  bearing of C = 70° +50.2° = 120.2°

The three-digit bearing of C from A is 120.

__

(iv) The bearing of A from C is 180 added to the bearing of C from A:

  120 +180 = 300

The three-digit bearing of A from C is 300.
