Answer:

Length=8inches\\Width=7.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be 'w' inches

Length of the rectangle= (2w-7) inches

Area of the rectangle= 60 inches^2

Area of the rectangle= Length*Width

60=(2w-7)(w)\\\\60=2w^2-7w\\\\2w^2-7w-60=0

Making the factors of the equation:

2w^2+8w-15w-60=0\\\\

Taking common from the equation;

2w(w+4)-15(w+4)=0\\\\(w+4)(2w-15)=0

w+4=0\\\\w=-4

OR

2w-15=0\\2w=15\\w=15/2\\w=7.5inches

As the width of the rectangle cannot be negative, so,

Width(w)= 7.5 inches

Length=2w-7=2(7.5)-7=15-7=8 inches

Length=8inches\\Width=7.5 inches

Given that cos 63°≈ 0.454, enter the sine of a complementary angle.<br> sin
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

\cos(63^\circ) is the same as \sin(27^\circ) by co-function identities

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that complementary angles add up to 90°. The angle that i s complementary to 63° is 27°.

Also recall the co-function identities:

  • sin (90° – x) = cos x
  • cos (90° – x) = sin x

This means that \cos(90^\circ-27^\circ)=\sin(27^\circ)\approx0.454.

Help please. Having some trouble with this question
xeze [42]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person's height = 5 ft

Person's shadow = 10 ft

Tree's height = ?

Tree's shadow = 110 ft

- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

 Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow

- Substitution

                     5 / 10 = x / 110

-Solve for x

                     x = 5 (110) / 10

-Simplification

                     x = 550 / 10

-Result

                     x = 55 ft

-Conclusion

The tree is 55 ft height
