Let wedth = x
Length = 2x+3
Area = 54
Area = l X b
54= (2x + 3) X x
54 = 2 x² + 3x
The equation will be:
2 x² + 3x - 54
2 x² + 12x -9x - 54
2x (x+6) -9(x + 6)
(2x-9) (x+6)
We will use (2x-9)
2x-9= 0
2x = 9
x = 9/2
x = 4.5

Width = 4.5
Length = (2x +3)
Length = (2X 4.5 + 3)
Length = 9.0 + 3 = 12

Answer: Let length = 2x + 3

Let width = x

Area = 54 ft2

length × width = Area

x(2x + 3) = 54

2x2 + 3x = 54

2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0

x = 9/2 and x = -6

x = 4.5 and x = -6

We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:

width = 4.5 ft

length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft

given that sin theta= 1/4, 0 is less than theta but less than pi/2, what is the exact value of cos theta
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle \theta, we have that:

(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

Quadrant:

0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2} means that \theta is in the first quadrant. This means that both the sine and the cosine have positive values.

Find the cosine:

(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

(\frac{1}{4})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

\frac{1}{16} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{16}

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{16-1}{16}

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{15}{16}

\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}

Since the angle is in the first quadrant, the cosine is positive.

\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}

Consider parallelogram ABCD. Which of the following transformations will change the perimeter of the parallelogram?
jeka57 [31]

In geometry, transformation involves changing the position and/or size of a shape.

<em>The transformation that will change the size of ABCD is dilation.</em>

There are four transformations in geometry:

  • Translation
  • Reflection
  • Rotation
  • Dilation

Of all types of transformation, dilation will change the size of the shape,

The new shape will either be enlarged or reduced

<em>Either ways, the size of the shape will be altered.</em>

<em>When the size is altered, the perimeter will not remain the same.</em>

<em />

Hence. dilation will change the perimeter of ABCD.

The correct answer is 17 what i did was plug in 17 where ever you see x so x2 would be 17x2 an then plus the 5 gives u 39 3x 17x3=51 51+10=61 now add the totals 61 plus 39 gives u 100
