The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)
w = width
l = length
In this problem,
The diagonal = 20 in
w = x
l = 2x + 8
Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.
20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)
Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt
20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)
Now, let's square both sides.
400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64
Subtract 400 from both sides.
0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336
Factor
0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)
Set both terms equal to zero and solve.
x + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from both sides.
x = -12
5x - 28 = 0
Add 28 to both sides.
5x = 28
Divide both sides by 5
x = 28/5
The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5
Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.
Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5
In conclusion,
Length = 96/5 inches
Width = 28/5
Answer:
the answer would be A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for how many decimal places the decimal moved and thats how many 0's would be in your number
Answer:
The answer is c
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is
<span>Given cos theta=4/9 and csc theta < 0 find sin theta and tan theta
</span>
we know that
csc theta=1/sin theta
if csc theta < 0
then
sin theta < 0
we have that
<span>cos theta=4/9
we know that
sin</span>² theta+cos² theta=1
so
sin² theta=1-cos² theta-----> 1-(4/9)²----> 1-(16/81)----> 65/81
sin theta=-√(65/81)---->-√65/9
the answer Part a) is
sin theta=-√65/9
Part b) find tan theta
tan theta=sin theta/cos theta
tan theta=(-√65/9)/(4/9)-----> tan theta=-√65/4
the answer part b) is
tan theta=-√65/4
