Answer:

lenght = 13 inches

width = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

p= 2(l+b)

let lenght be x

width be y

so x=y+6

40 = 2(y+6 + y)

40= 2( 2y+6 )

20= 2y +6

2y = 20-6

2y=14

y=7

x=7+6=13

so lenght is 13 inches

width is 7 inches

What fraction is equivalent to 36/60 and the sum of the numerator and denominator is 24
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The fraction is \frac{9}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{36}{60} = \frac{x}{y}

Where x and y are the numerator and denominator of our new fraction respectively.

Also given is that x + y = 24

So  \frac{x}{y} = 36 ÷ 60 = 0.6

x = 0.6y

Substituting x in x + y = 24 gives;

0.6y + y = 24 , 1.6y = 24

y = 24 ÷ 1.6 = 15

x = 24 - 15 = 9

So our fraction is \frac{9}{15}

The area of a rectangular painting is 1/6 square yard. The width is 2/3 yard. What is the length of the painting use the formula
STatiana [176]

The length of the painting is 1/4.

According to the statement

we have to find the length of the rectangular painting with the help of the given information.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

The given information is:

The area of a rectangular painting is 1/6 square yard. The width is 2/3 yard.

And we have to use the formula

Area = Length * Breadth

So, Substitute the values in it then solve

So,

Area = Length * Breadth

1/6= Length * 2/3

1/6 = 2L/3

1 = 12L/3

1 = 4L

L = 1/4.

The value of the length is 1/4.

So, The length of the painting is 1/4.

If sin theta = 2/3, which of the following are possible
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Sin ø = opposite/hypotenuse = 2/3, cos ø = adjacent/hypotenuse = ?/3, tan ø = opposite/adjacent = 2/?, sec ø = 1/cos ø

to solve ?, Pythagorean theorem must be applied
hypotenuse^2 = adjacent^2 + opposite^2

Manipulating the equation to find the adjacent value = ?

adjacent = sqrt(hypotenuse^2 - opposite^2) = sqrt(9-4)
adjacent = sqrt(5)

so cos ø = sqrt(5)/3, tan ø = 2/sqrt(5) and sec <span>ø = 3/sqrt(5) since the value is positive the possible equivalent trigonometric function should be positive, the answer should be b </span>
