We are interested in the dimensions of a certain square a rectangle had length triple the side of this square and width two unit

s less than the side of this square. If the two areas are equal, what are the squares dimensions (W x H)

Let s be the side length of the square. The dimensions of the rectangle are three times the side of the square (i.e. 3s), and two less than the side of the square (i.e. s-2).

So, the area of this rectangle is

3s(s-2)=3s^2-6s

The area of the square is s^2, and we know that the two areas are the same, so we have

3s^2-6s=s^2 \iff 2s^2-6s=0 \iff 2s(s-3)=0 \iff s=0 \lor s=3

The solution s=0 would lead to the extreme case where the rectangle and the square are actually a point, so we accept the solution s=3.

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is equal to three times the sum of the number and 3. Find the number. The number is nothi
trasher [3.6K]

The number is -13.

In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.

Twice the difference of a number and 2.

2(x - 2)

Three times the sum of the number and 3

3(x + 3)

Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.

2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute

2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides

-13 = x

12 cos theta minus 16 sin theta is equal to zero find 2 sin theta + cos theta​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2sinθ + cosθ = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 cos θ - 16 sinθ = 0

=> 3 cos θ -4 sin θ = 0

=> tanθ = 3/4

let P = 3x

B = 4x

=> H= 5x

=> sinθ = P/H = 3/5

cosθ = B/H = 4/5

2sinθ + cosθ

= 2× 3/5 + 4/5

= 6/5+4/5

= 10/5

= 2

=> 2sinθ + cosθ = 2
