Let x be the length of the garden
and y be the width of the garden.

since you only enclose 3 sides of the garden by a 40 ft fence. so the equation for this is:

2x + y = 40

and the area of the garden is 100 sq ft, so in equation
xy = 100
from equation 1, 2x + y = 40
y = 40 - 2x
substitute to equation 2

xy = 100
x ( 40 - 2x) = 100
40x - 2x^2 = 100
2x^2 - 40x + 100 = 0

x = 2.9 ft
y = 34.5 ft

An isosceles triangle has slant height s and angle t opposite the base. Find a formula for the base length b in terms of the ang
Mars2501 [29]

OK, let's try with no figure.  We have an isosceles triangle sides s,s, and b.

Opposite b is angle t.

Draw the altitude h to bisect t.  We have two right triangles, legs b/2 and h, hypotenuse s.  The angle opposite b/2 is t/2 so

sin(t/2) = (b/2)/s = b/2s

So we arrived at the first part,

b = 2s sin(t/2)

The area of a triangle with sides s,s and included angle t is

A = (1/2) s² sin t

An office uses 478 pounds of paper in one week. The paper comes in packages that hold 18 pounds of paper each. How many packages
ddd [48]
To solve this, you would divide 478 by 18, which equals 26.5555556. Since you can't have half a package of paper, the answer would be 26. Hope this helps!
