Answer:

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let the

length = L

Width = W

Area = LW = 55

The length is nine feet less than four times the width

L = 4W - 9

W (4W - 9) = 55

4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0

4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0

4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0

(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0

W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0

W = 5 or  - 11/4

since the width cannot be negative, W = 5

LW = 55

L = 55/5

L = 11

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to (6.2+6.2)+9.4(6.2+6.2)+9.4left parenthesis, 6, point, 2, plus, 6, point, 2,
ELEN [110]

Answer:

6.2 + (6.2 + 9.4) ⇒ A

6.2 - (-6.2 - 9.4) ⇒ E

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets revise some definitions to solve the problem</em>

- <u><em>Associative property</em></u> states that you can re-group numbers and you

 will get the same answer [(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)]

- <u><em>Additive inverse</em></u> of a number means reverse the sign of the number

 the additive inverse of x is -x

- The expression is  (6.2 + 6.2) + 9.4

- We want to find which of the following expressions are equivalent

 to this expression

- By using associative property we can write the expression as

 6.2 + (6.2 + 9.4)

∴ (6.2 + 6.2) + 9.4 = 6.2 + (6.2 + 9.4)

- Multiply (-) by the additive inverse of number is the number itself

 If a number is x and its additive inverse is -x, then (-) × (-x) = x

∵ -6.2 is additive inverse of 6.2

∵ (-)(-6.2) = 6.2

∵ -9.4 is additive inverse of 9.4

∵ (-)(-9.4) = 9.4

∴ 6.2 - (-6.2 - 9.4) = 6.2 + 6.2 + 9.4

∴ (6.2 + 6.2) + 9.4 = 6.2 - (-6.2 - 9.4)

* The answers are A and E

What value of θ makes cosθ = sin70° a true statement?<br> A) 20° <br> B) 40° <br> C) 70° <br> D) 90°
Delvig [45]

Answer:

A) 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine and cosine are co-function complements which means that value of sine of an angle is equal to the value of cosine of the complementary angles.

This can be represented by:

\sin\theta=\cos(90\°-\theta)

\cos\theta=\sin(90\°-\theta)

Given statement:

cos\theta=\sin70\°

Applying co-function complements

\cos\theta=\sin(90\°-\theta)

Since, we can represent 70° = 90°-20°

So

\cos20\°=\sin(90\°-20\°)  

Thus, \theta=20\° makes the statement true.
