Area of the rectangle is 2*6=12 in^2
12 could be = 1*12 or 2*6 or 3*4
P could be 2*(1+12)=2*13=26
2*(2+6)=2*8=16
2*(3+4)=2*7=14

the answer is 24 in (c)

Given that cot θ = 1/√5, what is the value of (sec²θ - cosec²θ)/(sec²θ + cosec²θ) ?

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{Given :\;\dfrac{{sec}^2\theta - co{sec}^2\theta}{{sec}^2\theta + co{sec}^2\theta}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{cos\theta}}}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{co{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} - \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} + \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}}$

Taking sin²θ common in both numerator & denominator, We get :

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta\left(1 - \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}{sin^2\theta\left(1 + \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{cot\theta = \dfrac{cos\theta}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{1 -cot^2\theta}{1 + cot^2\theta}}$

$\mathsf{Given :\;cot\theta = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{1 - \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^2}{1 + \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^2}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{1}{5}}{1 + \dfrac{1}{5}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{5 - 1}{5}}{\dfrac{5 + 1}{5}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{5 - 1}{5 + 1}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{4}{6}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{2}{3}}$

Kitty [74]

Answer:

35.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The change is 45 dollars. (120-75)

The percent of change is the dollars divided by the original price.

45/120=0.357

Or 35.7%

If triangle abc is similar to triangle edc find the value of x

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{BC}{DC}$ = $\frac{AC}{EC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{3x-5}{32}$ = $\frac{5x-5}{56}$ ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
