----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5 // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width
----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)
----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x) // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5) // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10 // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48 // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8 // Divide by 6 on both sides
----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 possibilities for where A can be: one where C is 30° (and A is 60°) and another where C is 60° (and A is 30°). Since it's not specified, we can find both.
30°:
drawing the triangle on a graph, you can see that point C is 4 units above point B, so we know that one side of the triangle is 4. Once we find the other "leg" of the triangle (the one that's parallel to the x-axis), we can just add that value to B to find the x coordinate of A.
If angle C is 30°, using the side ratios of a 30-60-90 triangle, that side is "a√3", and the side we're looking for is a. So, to find a, we just divide 4 by √3. In that case, point A is 4/(√3) units to the right of -2√3. We can rationalize 4/(√3) like this:
(4√3)/3
and then add that to 2√3:
(4√3)/3 + -2√3
(4√3)/3 + (-6√3)/3 = (-2√3)/3
We know that the x-coordinate of A is (-2√3)/3, and the y-coordinate is -1 because B is a right angle and we're just moving horizontally. So, if C is 30° and A is 60°, point A is at ((-2√3)/3, -1).
60°:
in this case, the leg we know is "a" and the leg we're looking for is "a√3". So, we can multiply 4 by √3 to get the distance from B:
4 x √3 = 4√3
4√3 + -2√3 = 2√3
So the x-coordinate of A here is 2√3, and the y-coordinate is still -1: (2√3, -1).
