the perimeter of a square is 20 ft if you increase the length of the square by 2 feet and decrease the width by 1ft what is the
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

28 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 sides of a square are equal in length, so if the perimeter is 20ft that means each side would have to be 5ft, (20/4 = 5). If you increase the length by 2ft, one of the sides would now become 7ft (5+2 = 7). If you decrease the length of the other side by 1ft, the length would now be 4ft (5-1=4). Now to find the area, all you have to do is length * width. So you would do 7ft*4ft which is 28ft squared.

How do i calculate percent accuracy? I got 20 questions out of 21 correct but I need to figure out the percent accuracy for anot
Mandarinka [93]
You need to do 20 divide by 21 to get a decimal. Then if you multiply the decimal by hundred you should get the percentage.

The angle of depression from the top of a cruise ship to the top of a sailboat is 22. Sitting above water, the cruise ship is 23
dusya [7]

Answer:

The distance between the cruise ship and the sail boat is 517 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cruise ship is 236 feet tall, and the sailboat is 236 tall; this means the distance between the top of the cruise ship and the top of the sail boat is

236 feet - 27 feet = 209 feet.

We also know that the angel of depression from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom of the cruise ship is 22°. This forms a right triangle as shown in the figure attached.

Now from trigonometry we get:

tan \: \theta = \dfrac{209}{d}

d= \dfrac{209}{tan\:\theta }

\boxed{d=517ft}

The distance between the cruise ship and the sailboat is 517 feet.

(a) find parametric equations for the line of intersection of the planes x + y + z = 2 and x + 7y + 7z = 2
nlexa [21]
Direction vector of line of intersection of two planes is the cross product of the normal vectors of the planes, namely
p1: x+y+z=2
p2: x+7y+7z=2

and the corresponding normal vectors are: (equiv. to coeff. of the plane)
n1:<1,1,1>
n2:<1,7,7>

The cross product n1 x n2
vl=
 i  j  l
1 1 1
1 7 7
=<7-7, 1-7, 7-1>
=<0,-6,6>
Simplify by reducing length by a factor of 6
vl=<0,-1,1>

By observing the equations of the two planes, we see that (2,0,0) is a point on the intersection, because this points satisfies both plane equations.

Thus the parametric equation of the line is
L: (2,0,0)+t(0,-1,1)
or
L: x=2, y=-t, z=t
