Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13

Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle Y X Z is a right angle. The length of Y X is 12 inches and the length of X Z is 10 inches. Angle
mario62 [17]

The best approximation for the measure of angle XYZ is 39.8° ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the trigonometry ratios in the right triangle ABC, where B is the right angle, AC is the hypotenuse, AB and BC are the legs of the triangle

The trigonometry ratios of the angle BAC, the opposite side to this angle is BC and the adjacent side to it is AB are

  • sin(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\frac{BC}{AC}
  • cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}
  • tan(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{BC}{AB}

In Δ XYZ

∵ ∠ YXZ is a right angle

∴ The hypotenuse is YZ

∵ The adjacent side to ∠XYZ is XY

∵ The opposite side to ∠XYZ is XZ

∵ YX = 12 units

∵ XZ = 10 units

- Use tan ratio to find the measure of the angle because you

   have the adjacent and opposite sides of the angle XYZ

∵ m∠XYZ is x

∵ tan(x)=\frac{XZ}{XY}

∴ tan(x)=\frac{10}{12}

- To find x use the inverse of tan(x)

∵ x=tan^{-1}(\frac{10}{12})

∴ x = 39.8°

∴ m∠XYZ = 39.81°

The best approximation for the measure of angle XYZ is 39.8°

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil. What would one pencil and one
vladimir2022 [97]

It is given in the question that

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.

Let the cost of pencil is $ x .

Therefore cost of pen is

$(x+0.40)

According to the question

12(x+0.40)+20x =16

Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get

12x+4.8+20x=16\\32x = 11.2\\x = 0.35

Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is

0.35+0.40=0.75
