Answer: 122.5

======================================================

Explanation:

First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.

The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x

(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2

x/35 = 7/2

x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply

2x = 245

2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2

x = 122.5

The perimeter of figure A is 122.5

I'm having trouble with #2. I've got it down to the part where it would be the integral of 5cos^3(pheta)/sin(pheta). I'm not sur

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\,\mathrm dx$

Setting $x=5\sin\theta$ , you have $\mathrm dx=5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$ . Then the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-(5\sin\theta)^2}}{5\sin\theta}5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle\int\sqrt{25-25\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Now, $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ in general. But since we want our substitution $x=5\sin\theta$ to be invertible, we are tacitly assuming that we're working over a restricted domain. In particular, this means $\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5$ , which implies that $\left|\dfrac x5\right|\le1$ , or equivalently that $|\theta|\le\dfrac\pi2$ . Over this domain, $\cos\theta\ge0$ , so $\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}=|\cos\theta|=\cos\theta$ .

Long story short, this allows us to go from

$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

to

$\displaystyle5\int\cos\theta\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Computing the remaining integral isn't difficult. Expand the numerator with the Pythagorean identity to get

$\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{1-\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\csc\theta-\sin\theta$

Then integrate term-by-term to get

$\displaystyle5\left(\int\csc\theta\,\mathrm d\theta-\int\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)$
$=-5\ln|\csc\theta+\cot\theta|+\cos\theta+C$

Now undo the substitution to get the antiderivative back in terms of $x$ .

$=-5\ln\left|\csc\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)\right|+\cos\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+C$

and using basic trigonometric properties (e.g. Pythagorean theorem) this reduces to

$=-5\ln\left|\dfrac{5+\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\right|+\sqrt{25-x^2}+C$
