Answer:

The length is 18 Cm

The Width Is 6 Cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation

so perimeter is

2L+2W=P

In this case the perimeter is 48 and one side is 12 cm longer so let’s make the unknown side W, and L as 12+w since the longer side is 12cm longer then the unknown side.

Equation:

2(12+W)+2W=48

Combine like terms and solve the equation

24+4W=48 (I distributed then combined like terms)

Subtract 24 on both sides

4W=24

Isolate the variable by dividing 4 on both sides

W=6

Check:

2(12+6)+2(6)=48?

24+12+12=48✔️

L=W+12
2L+2W=48
2(W+12)+2W=48
2W+24+2W=48
4W=48-24
4W=24
W=24/4
W=6 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=6+12=18 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*18+2*6=48
36+12=48
48=48

Hope this helps:)

1. Dolores is on a bridge that is 42 feet above a lake. What is the distance from Dolores to the boat? G​
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

You are missing data such as the angle of the boat next to Dolores. I found an exercise similar to this, and I'm going to show it here and use the missing data to show you how to do it:

<u>Dolores is on a bridge that is 45 feet above a lake. She sees a boat at a 30 degree angle of depression. What is Dolores' approximate horizontal distance from the boat?</u>

<u></u>

According to that, I will use the angle of 30° to do this, but the distance of 42 feet.

Now, we can see this as a triangle. Dolores is on a bridge 42 feet above a lake, this 42 feet distance should be one side of the triangle (The vertical forming the 90° angle), and the boat that is on the lake, is seen with an angle of 30°. So the distance of the boat, to the spot where dolores is, under the bridge would be the horizontal side.

With this, we have the opposite side (a) and the adyacent side (b) of the triangle, and we have the angle, therefore:

tanα = a/b

Replacing we have:

tan30° = 42/b

b = 42 / tan30°

b = 72.75 feet

Hope this helps

Simplify each radical
const2013 [10]

Answer:

AECG

Step-by-step explanation:

1

sqrt(49) = 7

sqrt(a^2) = a

sqrt(b^2) = b

For every two variables you can take one out from under the root sign and thorough the other one away.

Answer: E

2

sqrt(36) = 6

sqrt(a^2) = a  See comment for 1.

b must be left where it is. There is only 1 of them.

6asqrt(b)

Answer: A

3. sqrt(25) = 5

sqrt(b^2) = b

a must be left alone.  There's only 1 of them.

5b sqrt(a)

answer: C

4

sqrt(81 a b)

sqrt(81) = 9

The variables must be left alone. There's only1 of them

9 sqrt(ab)
