The perimeter of a rectangle is 30.8 km and it’s diagonal length is 11 km. Find it’s length and width

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.8 km

Length of diagonal of rectangle = 11 km

To find:

The length and width of rectangle=?

Solution:

Lets assume length of the rectangle = x km

And assume width of the rectangle = y km

Lets first create equation using given perimeter

perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

=> 30.8 km = 2 ( x + y )

=> $x + y = \frac{30.8}{2}$

=> y = 15.4 – x ------(1)

As diagonal and two sides of rectangle forms right angle triangle whose hypoteneus is diagonal ,

=> $length^2 + width^2 = diagonal^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 11^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 121$

On substituting value of y from (1) in above equation we get

=> $x^2 + (15.4-x)^2 = 121$

=> $x^2 + (15.4)^2 + x^2 – 2 x 15.4 \times x = 121$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 237.16 -121 = 0$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$

Solving above quadratic equation using quadratic formula

General form of quadratic equation is

$ax^2 +bx +c = 0$

And quadratic formula for getting roots of quadratic equation is

$x= \frac{ -b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}$

As equation is $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$ , in our case

a = 2 , b = -30.8 and c = 116.16

Calculating roots of the equation we get

$x=\frac{ -(-30.8)\pm\sqrt{(-30.8)^2-4(2)( 11)} } {(2\times2)}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{(948.64-88)}}{4}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8\pm29.33)}4$

$x=\frac{(30.8+29.33)}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8-29.33)}{4}$

=> x = 15.0325 or x = 0.3675

As generally length is longer one ,

So x = 1.0325

From equation (1) y = 15.4 – x = 0.3765

Hence length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

What is the relationship between the two constants of proportionality?

DIA [1.3K]

We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

$9.( {m}^{3} {n}^{5} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } \\ = m^{\frac{3}{4}}n^{\frac{5}{4}}\\ \\ 10. \sqrt[5]{ \sqrt[4]{x} } \\ = \sqrt[5]{ {x}^{ \frac{1}{4} } } \\ = {( {x}^{ \frac{1}{4} } )}^{ \frac{1}{5} } \\ = {x}^{ \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} } \\ = {x}^{ \frac{1}{20} } \\ \\ \sqrt[5]{ \sqrt[3]{ {a}^{2} } } \\ = \sqrt[5]{ {a}^{ \frac{2}{3} } } \\ = {( {a}^{ \frac{2}{3} } )}^{ \frac{1}{5} } \\ = {a}^{ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} } \\ = {a}^{ \frac{2}{15} }$

Can someone please help!! I will give all stars

Verizon [17]

Well we know that sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse. using the angle of 38 degrees we see that the opposite is 24 and the hypotenuse is x. So we fill in equation:
sin (38) = 24/x
x *sin (38) = 24
x = 24/ sin (38)
x = 38.98
x = 39.0

Write an equation for a line with a slope of -2, and a y-intercept of 1.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept:

Plug in the slope and y intercept:

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 1

So, the equation of the line is y = -2x + 1
