<span><span>L * W = 300 sq ft
</span><span> Length is 10 ft greater than twice the width.
L = 2W + 10
Substituting
(2W+10)*W = 300
2W^2 + 10W = 300
Divide both sides by 2
W^2 + 5W = 150
W^2 + 5W - 150 = 0
Factor
(W +15)(W -10) = 0</span></span>

<span>
<span> Roots are W=-15 and W=10.
A negative width is impossible, so W=10
L = 2W + 10
L = 2(10) + 10
L = 30</span></span>

 length = 30 feet, width = 10 feet

<span> Check: 30*10 = 300</span>

Calculate the noon sun angles for new orleans, usa and helsinki, finland on september 22. in the answer below, new orleans answe
Otrada [13]
<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.

Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:

Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle

We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.

The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.

New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°

Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°

Select all TRUE statements : A - Dilation always increase the length of shapes or line segments. B- Dilations of an angle are co
timurjin [86]

Hi!

A is <u>FALSE</u> - If you shrink a shape, it is not increased a shape, yet it is still dilating.

B is <u>TRUE</u> - When you dilate an angle, you're really just shortening or lengthening the sides, but the angle isn't changing.

C is <u>FALSE</u> - Explained above.

D is <u>FALSE</u> - Two triangles that are congruent are <em>exactly the same, </em>therefore if you dilate a triangle, you are changing the size so they are not the same.

E is <u>TRUE</u> - Similar shapes are always the same <em>except for their size. </em>When you dilate a shape, you only change the size, therefore they are equal in every other way and they are similar.

Answer:

sqrt(2) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp/ hyp

sin 45 = x/2

2 sin 45 =x

2 ( sqrt(2)/2) =x

sqrt(2) =x
