Answer:

To the nearest cm

Width of the rectangle = 224cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine a rectangle shape,

both opposite sides are equal, ie both lengths are equal and also applicable to the widths

Length is 2m

It's diagonal is 3m

The diagonal is a line that crosses from one length of a side to the other slantly, ie from one edge to the other, dividing the rectangle into two right angled triangles

The longest line will be the diagonal which is 3m

And the base length will be the length which is 2m

The width is what we are looking for which is represented with x

To solve this problem, we use Pythagoras' rule

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

Let x be diagonal side

a be length

b be the unknown width

Inserting into the formula

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

3^2 = 2^2 + b^2

9 = 4 + b^2

9 - 4 = b^2

5 = b^2

Square root of 5

b = 2.24m

The width = 2.24m

According to the question, we are asked to give the answer in nearest cm

Since 1cm = 0.01m

x cm = 2.24m

Then we cross multiply

1cm * 2.24m = xcm * 0.01m

x = 2.24 / 0.01

x = 224cm

quester [9]

Answer:

n = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

3n = 3.6

Divide both sides by 3 to get n by itself.

3.6/3 = 1.2

vredina [299]

Answer:Magnitude of voltage is 41.9963 volts


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that current I =5.772-5.323i mA

          and impedance, Z=3.342+4.176i kilo ohms

Then voltage in the circuit = IZ

                                            =(5.772-5.323i)X10^{-3}X(3.342+4.176i)X10^{3}

                                      V=(5.772-5.323i)X(3.342+4.176i)

                                      V=19.290024+24.103872i-17.789466i-23..5148848i^{2}

                                     V=41.518892+6.314406i

Magnitude of V = \sqrt{41.518892^{2} +6.314406^{2} }=\sqrt{1763.6901}=41.9963volts

Giving brainliest! Please show the working out
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

OC = OB ( both radii of the circle )

Thus Δ BOC is isosceles with congruent base angles.

∠ BOC = ∠ BCO = 50°

(b)

∠ ACB = 90° ( angle in a semicircle ), then

∠ ACO = 90° - 50° = 40°

OA = OC ( both radii of the circle )

Thus Δ ACO is isosceles with congruent base angles.

∠ BAC = ∠ ACO = 40°
