Area = Length × Width

60 3/8 = (5 1/2 × w) + (6 × w)
60 3/8 = 11 1/2 + 2w
48 7/8 = 2w
24 7/16 = w

Width: 24 7/16

By definition, the area of a rectangle is:

A = w * l

Where,

w: width of the rectangle

l: length of the rectangle

The total area is given by:

A = A1 + A2

Where,

A1: rectangular wooden board 1

A2: rectangular wooden board 2

Substituting we have:

60 \frac{3}{8} = (6) (w) + (5\frac{1}{2}) (w)

Rewriting we have:

\frac{483}{8} = (6) (w) + (\frac{11}{2}) (w)

483 = 48w + 44w\\483 = 92w

w = \frac{483}{92}\\w = 5.25

 w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

Answer:

The width is given by:

w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

Is sin A is 7/10 what is Cos A
viva [34]

Answer:

Cos A = (√51)/ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

sin  is opposite/hypothenuse

cos is adjacent/hypothenuse

Pythagorus theorem says that c² = a² + b²

10² = 7² + b²

b² = 100 - 49

b = ±√51

It doesn't make sense for a length to be a minus number therefore, we will use +√51.

Cos A = (√51)/ 10

A graphic designer wants to translate rectangle DEFG using T–1, 2(x, y). The pre-image has coordinates D(–1, 3),
anygoal [31]

Answer:

  D'(-2, 5), E'(3, 5), F'(3, 3), G'(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding (-1, 2) to each of the coordinates gives ...

  D +(-1, 2) = (-1-1, 3+2) = D'(-2, 5)

  E +(-1, 2) = (4-1, 3+2) = E'(3, 5)

  F +(-1, 2) = (4-1, 1+2) = F'(3, 3)

  G +(-1, 2) = (-1-1, 1+2) = G'(-2, 3)
