Answer:

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)  for a rectangle

Area = l*w for a rectangle

Using perimeter

18 = 2(l+w)

Divide by 2

18/2 = 2/2 (l+w)

9 = l+w

Solving for l

9-w = l

Using area

20 = l*w

Substituing for l

20 = (9-w) * w

20 = 9w - w^2

Subtract 20 from each side

20-20 =-w^2 +9w -20

0 = -w^2 +9w -20

Multiply by -1

0 = w^2 -9w+20

Factor

0 = (w-5) (w-4)

Using the zero product property

w-5 = 0   w-4 = 0

w= 5   w=4

The width can be 5 ft   or the width can be 4 ft

The right triangle above with legs 7m and 3 m is inscribed in a circle. Find the circumference of the circle.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

23.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle inscribed in a circle is a diameter of the circle.  Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 3² + 7²

c = √58

The circumference of the circle is pi times the diameter.

C = π√58

C ≈ 23.9

HELP ME SOLVE THIS ASAP
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

∠B = 60°

a = 4.0 units

b = 6.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is right angled. The sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

The 3 angles are 90, 30 , ∠B .

<em>90+30+B = 180</em>

Thus, B = 180 - 120 = 60 degrees

by trigonometry,

sin(30) = \frac{a}{8} = 0.5

a = (8)(0.5) = 4 units

Also,

cos(30) = \frac{b}{8} = 0.866

b = (8)(0.866)= 6.928

In the figure shown line l and m are parallel. Find the measure of each numbered angles
Elis [28]
Angle 1= 180-111 =69 degree
angle 2=1 so ,69 degree(vertically oppsite angle)
angle 3= 180-111= 69 degrees(corresponding angle to 111 degree)
angle angle 6 =108 (vertically opposite angle)
angle 4 =108(corresponding angle)
angle 5=180-108 =72 (alternate angle)

What two consecutive numbers have a sum of 53? Thanks! :P
Musya8 [376]
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.

We now have our equation:

x + x + 1 = 53

Now solve for x.

x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26

So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
