Answer:

\large\boxed{\text{The original width}\ =\dfrac{4}{5}\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The dimensions of rectangle:}\ \dfrac{3}{5}\times w.\\\\\text{The dimensions of new rectangel:}\ \dfrac{3}{5}\times\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\\\\\text{The area of the new rectangle:}\ A=\dfrac{7}{25}\ ft^2\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=\dfrac{7}{25}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 25}\\\\25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5\cdot\dfrac{3}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{7}{25\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}

15\left(w-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\15w-15\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5\cdot\dfrac{1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=7\\\\15w-5=7\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\15w=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 15}\\\\w=\dfrac{12:3}{15:3}\\\\w=\dfrac{4}{5}

lutik1710 [3]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

RHS

\frac{1+Cos2x}{Sin2x}

We have to verify the identity.

We know that

1+Cos2x=2Cos^2 x

Sin2x=2SinxCos x

Using the formula

\frac{2Cos^2x}{2SinxCosx}

\frac{Cosx}{Sinx}

Cot x

By using the formula

Cotx=\frac{Cosx}{Sinx}

LHS=RHS

Hence, verified

Explain which property of equality is used to arrive at the conclusion for the following if x=4 then x+12=16
balandron [24]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: the addition property

<h2>Why?</h2>

Addition property states that:

if: a=b

Then,

a+c=b+c

So,

Let:

a=x=4\\b=4\\c=12

So,

x+12=b+12\\4+12=4+12\\16=16

Have a nice day!
