Answer: the length is 15 m and the width is 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the original length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the original width of the rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is three times it's width. This means that

L = 3W

If the width is diminished by 1 m and length is increased by 3 m, the area of the rectangle that is formed is 72 m². This means that

(L + 3)(W - 1) = 72

LW - L + 3W - 3 - 72 = 72 + 3

LW - L + 3W = 75 - - - - -- - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 3W into equation 1, it becomes

3W × W - 3W + 3W = 75

3W² = 75

W² = 75/3 = 25

W = √25 = ±5

The width cannot be negative. Therefore, the width is 5 m

L = 3W = 3 × 5 = 15 m

Given sinx= −3/5 when 3π/2 < x < 2π, find tan x/2
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

B -⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

sinx = -3/5

Adjacent² = 5² - 3² = 16

Adjacent = 4

tan(x) = -3/4

-¾ = 2tan(½x)/[1 - tan²(½x)]

-3 + 3tan²(½x) = 8tan(½x)

3tan²(½x) - 8tan(½x) - 3 = 0

tan(½x) = 3, -⅓

What is the answer to this in cm
jasenka [17]
The hardest part is finding the length of the curve at the top. To find arc length, multiply the circumference by the arc angle divided by full angle (360°) in a circle. Or:
s = (2\pi  r)( \frac{x}{360})
x, the arc angle in a semicircle, is 180°.
r, the radius is 7/2 = 3.5.
Now just plug the numbers in and solve for arc length, s.

s = 2π(3.5)(1/2) ≈ 11.00

Now just add up all the sides. 11cm + 10cm + 10cm + 7cm = 38 cm.

Which equation has no solution?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+3)+2x=6(x+2)

4x+12+2x=6x+12

6x+12=6x+12

12=12

All real solutions

5+2(3+2x)=x+3(x+1)

5+6+4x=x+3x+3

11+4x=4x+3

11=3

No solution
