Answer:

Width is 10  Length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 60

Length = W + 10

P = 2L + 2W                      Write the equation for perimeter

60 = 2(W + 10) + 2W         Substitute your variables

60 = 4W + 20

- 20          - 20                Subtract 20 from both sides

40 = 4W                        Divide both sides by 4

10 = W

Answer:

width is 10 and length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>find the length and width</u></h2><h3>perimeter of a rectangle is = 2*length + 2*width</h3>

lets give length and with a variable

length = l

width = w

hence perimeter formula is 2l +2 w

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60. The length is 10 more than the width.

<h3><u>hence this statement helps us to create 2 formulas</u></h3>

l = w + 10

and

2l + 2w = 60

<h3><u>finding w </u></h3>

we can make use of the substitution method. where l is in the second formula place w+ 10 there.

2(w + 10 )+2w = 60

2w + 20  +2w = 60

4w + 20 = 60

4w = 60-20

4w = 40

<u>w = 10 </u>

<u></u>

<h3><u>now we can find l</u></h3>

place the value of w into the first formula so we can find l

l = 10 +10

<u>l = 20</u>

<u></u>

hence this shows that the <u>width is 10 and length is 20 </u>

When you put a square root into exponential form, the square root turns into an exponential fraction. Since the square root is 2, our fraction would be 1/2

If our root was a cube root, our exponent would be 1/3, etc.

A flag staff is fixed at one corner of a rectangular room of side 20×10m.The angle of elevation on the top of the flag from oppo
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The height is 12.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

h² = s1² + s2²

h² = 10² + 20²

h² = 100 + 400

h² = 500

h = √500

h = 22.36

Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = 30

a: adjacent  = 22.36

o: opposite  = ?

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)

is the tangent

tan α = o/a

tan 30 = o/22.36

tan30 * 22.36 = o

12.9 = o

The height is 12.9m
