<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Width is 8 and the Length is 19.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em> x = width </em>

<em>2x + 3 = length {length is 3 more than twice width}  </em>

<em>Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width) + 2(length)  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> 2x + 2(2x + 3) = 54 {perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)} </em>

<em>2x + 4x + 6 = 54 (used distributive property)</em>

<em>6x + 6 = 54 (combined like terms) </em>

<em>6x = 48 (subtracted 6 from both sides)</em>

<em>x = 8 (divided both sides by 6)</em>

<em>2x + 3 = 19 (substituted 8, in for x, into 2x + 3)</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The width = 8 and length = 19</em>

<em>Best of luck,</em>

<em>Echy~</em>

△ABC is a right triangle. m∠A = 32° m∠B=90°; AC = 9 and AB=5. Choose the expression used to find BC?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the right angle triangle is shown in the attached photo.

From the given right angle triangle,

AC represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠32 as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

AB represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine BC, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ= opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore, the expression used to find BC is

Sin 32 = BC/9

BC = 9Sin32
