Width of the rectangle is 5 units

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let length (l) = l units

Given,

width (b) = l-3 units

Area of rectangle = 40 units

We know,

Area of rectangle = l X b

40= l(l-3)\\40=l^{2} - 3l\\l^{2} - 3l -40=0\\l=8units

If l = 8 units then, b = 8-3 units

b = 5 units

Therefore, width of the rectangle is 5 units.

Find the value of x.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every triangle no matter will equal 180 degrees. So we will make an algebreic expression.

2x+8+60=180

When doing algebreic expression we want to simply as much as possible to find our answer. First we will do 60-180. Since the expression is adding 60 we want to do the opposite and subtract is by 60 on both sides. SO now we have 2x+8=120. We do the same thing with 8. Subtract it on  both sides since its adding in the expression. Now we have 2x=112. FInally, we will divide by two on both sides since its multiplying on the other side of the equation. So now we are left with x=56.

How to set up a problem for law of sines when m
Sergeu [11.5K]
I think you meant to have more of a problem stated.
Basically, you use the Law of Sines when you have 2 angles but the length of only one side.

The formula for this law is
a / sine(A) = b / sine(B) = c / sine(C)

Which shape could be thought of as being created by stacking congruent polygons
Colt1911 [192]

When they talk about congruent polygons, they meant geometric figures that are all equal in shape and size.

It's angled, and the side length is equal too.

When you piled equal polygons, you'll end up with what we call prisms. It's the 3D form of a polygon.

If you stack squares, you'll have a cube.

If you stack octagons, you'll have an octagon prism.
