steven has a rectangular rug with a perimeter of 16 feet the width of the rug is 5 feet what is the length of the rug

1 answer:

3 0

So perimeter is equal to 2 lengths and 2 width so the equation would be P=2L+2W. you know width so you plug in 5 for W then solve for L and you should get L=3

The sides of a triangle are (x+5), and (x+8) units. Find the value of x if the perimeter of the triangle is 106 units.

lutik1710 [3]

106=x+x+5+x+8

106=3x+13

3x=93

x=31

(the sides are 31, 36, 39 respectively)

A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

____ [38]

Answer: 70 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the figure attached.

The distance between the walls is:

$DE=AD+AE$

<em />

Both triangles are right triangles. Therefore, you can calculate the distance between the walls as following:

- Calculate the distance AD:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(60\°)=\frac{AD}{60}\\AD=30m$

- Calculate the distance AE:

$tan\beta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\tan(45\°)=\frac{40}{AE}\\\\AE=\frac{40}{tan(45\°)}\\\\AE=40m$

Therefore the distance between the walls is:

$DE=30m+40m=70m$
