Answer:

<h3>The length is 44 feet</h3><h3>The width is 20 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

Perimeter = 128 feet

The width is 24 feet less than the length is written as

w = l - 24

128 = 2l + 2( l - 24)

128 = 2l + 2l - 48

Group like terms

4l = 176

Divide both sides by 4

l = 44

The length is 44 feet

Substitute l = 44 into w = l - 24

w = 44 - 24

w = 20

The width is 20 feet

(cotx+cscx)/(sinx+tanx)

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $\bold{\dfrac{cot(x)}{sin(x)}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Convert everything to "sin" and "cos" and then cancel out the common factors.

$\dfrac{cot(x)+csc(x)}{sin(x)+tan(x)}\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)}{1}+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg[\dfrac{sin(x)}{1}\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg]\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)cos(x)}{cos(x)}+\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)$

$\text{Simplify:}\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\div\bigg(\dfrac{sin(x)cos(x)+sin(x)}{cos(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Multiply by the reciprocal (fraction rules)}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)+sin(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Factor out the common term on the right side denominator}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)+1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)(cos(x)+1)}\bigg)$

$\text{Cross out the common factor of (cos(x) + 1) from the top and bottom}:\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times\bigg(\dfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}\bigg)\\\\\\\bigg(\dfrac{1}{sin(x)}\bigg)\times cot(x)}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \dfrac{cot(x)}{sin(x)}$
