Answer:
length: 16 m; width: 13 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W)
so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:
• 2L + 2W = 58
The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:
• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width
There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...
2(W+3) +2W = 58
4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify
4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4
We can use the expression for L to find its value:
L = 13 +3 = 16
The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.
Answer:
4289.03 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that standing on one side of the Mississippi River, you notice a tall tree directly across from you on the opposite bank. You walk 2000 meters along the bank and the tree is still visible, but at an angle of 65° to the bank
Visualise the right triangle formed by the river directly across in the first position , 2000 metres the distance walked along the bank and the line (here hypotenuse) joining you new position and the vertex opposite the bank
We have 65 degress angle has opposite side as width of river and adjacent side as 2000 m
Using trignometrical ratio
we get
, where x is the width of river
metres
An exponent is the same thing as a power. For example, 5 to the fourth power is the same as 5 with an exponent of 4.
