Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

suppose a farmer encloses a rectangular region of a land next to a river. fencing will be used on 3 sieds, and none is needed al
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Dimensions :

x (the longer side, only one side with fence )   =  90  ft

y ( the shorter side two sides with fence )        =  45  ft

Total fence used   45 * 2  +  90    =  180 ft

A(max)  =  

Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.

Lets call "x" one the longer side  ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side

Then we have:

P = perimeter  =  180  =  2y  +  x        ⇒   y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2        (1)

And   A (r)   =  x * y

A(x)   =  x  *  ( 180 - x ) /2       ⇒   A(x)   = (180/2) *x   -  x² / 2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :

A´(x)   =  90   -  x    

Then if    A´(x)   =  0   ⇒        90   -  x    =  0     ⇒   x  =  90 ft

and from :       y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2     ⇒     y  =  90/2

y  =  45  ft

And

A(max)  =  90 * 45    =  4050  ft²

if angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles, angle 2 and angle 3 are complementary angles and the measure of angle 3 is 56 degree
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

34º

Step-by-step explanation: so basically you know a complementary angle is 2 angles that make a straight line and a vertical angle crosses which means 2 angles are congruent to each other so I drew a line that bisected the angle by drawing a line that cut through the right angle and i extended a line down from the right angle so now I have a vertical angle and a complementary so from here I labeled each angle <1 <2 <3  If I know angle 3 is 56º then I know 56 plus __ equals 90º I then subtracted 56 from 90 and I got 34 and since I am trying to figure out what angle 1 is I know that angle 1 and 2 are vertical angles therefore I know they are congruent to each other so <1 = 34º
