Answer: Length = 28 feet and width = 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of the wall.

Then, Length of the wall =  10+2x

Since , Area of rectangle = length x width

Then, as per given,

252= (10+2x)x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 252=10x+2x^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x^2+10x-252=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+5x-126=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+14x-9x-126=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x+14)-9(x+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x+14)(x-9)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-14 \ or \ x= 9

Since width cannot be negative , so x = 9

So width = 9 feet and length = 10+2(9)=10+18 = 28 feet

Hence, length is 28 feet and width is 9 feet of the wall of the barn.

Determine the area of a parallelogram if<br> its base is 16 cm and its height is 7 cm.
ella [17]
<h3>Answer: 112 square cm</h3>

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

Work Shown:

area = base*height

area = 16*7

area = 112 square cm

----------------

Extra info (optional section):

The area formula for a parallelogram is the same as the formula for a rectangle. Imagine tilting a rectangle so that it's slanted. The area has not changed.

Or another thing to imagine is that let's say we had a stack of 2 by 4s. If the stack is perfectly vertical, aka forming a rectangle, then we can nudge the beams so that we can form a slanted parallelogram instead. Both configurations involve the same amount of wood, and therefore would lead to the same frontal surface area.

What is side e<br><br>Angle d and angle f<br>Please let me know asap
irga5000 [103]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • e ≈ 9.608
  • D ≈ 46.5°
  • F ≈ 38.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The only given angle is between the two given sides, so the Law of Cosines must be used to find the side opposite the angle. It tells you ...

  e² = d²+f² -2df·cos(E)

  e² = 7² +6² -2·7·6·cos(95°) ≈ 92.321082

  e ≈ 9.608

The remaining angles can be found from the law of sines.

  sin(D)/d = sin(E)/e

  D = arcsin(d/e·sin(E)) ≈ arcsin(7/9.608·sin(95°)) ≈ 46.5°

  F = 180° -95° -46.5° = 38.5°
