The perimeter of a rectangular field is 26 yards. The length is 4 more yards than twice the width. Find the length and width of

the field.
A. Length = 8 yards; Width = 4 yards
B. Length = 10 yards; Width = 3 yards
C. Length = 13 yards; Width = 9 yards
D. Length = 8.5 yards; Width = 4.5 yards

The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)

You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:

length = 4 + 2w

Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:

26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w

First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...

26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with  the same variables (w) must be combined...

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

4w + 2w = 6w

26 = 8 + 6w

Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w

18 = 0 + 6w

18 = 6w

To isolate w divide 6 to both sides

18 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 3

We know that the width is 3 ft

Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:

length = 4 + 2w

l = 4 + 2(3)

l = 4 + 6

l = 10

We know that length is 10 ft

Letter B. is the correct answer

Hope this helped!

Hi :) anyone able to teach this? I don’t understand the question , thanks in advance!

a) 62.855m

We will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem here, as we know a and c, but not b. I have attached an image of a triangle sketch to set up the problem, which should hopefully help us to visualize this problem a bit better.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(19.8)^2 + b^2 = (65.9)^2

392.04 + b^2 = 4342.81

b^2 = 3950.77

b = 62.855 (rounded to 3 places)

b) m = 0.315

The gradient is also known as the slope. I've shown what the points would be in the image attached. Now that we know the value of b (x in the points in image), we can use points E and C to find the slope.

Point 1: (0,0)

Point 2: (62.855, 19.8)

m = (19.8 - 0) / (62.855 - 0)

m = 19.8 / 62.855

m = 0.315 (rounded to three places)

c) 17.485 degrees

The angle of inclination would be angle C. To find angle C, we will need to use an inverse trigonometry function. Any can be used since we know all of the side lengths, but I will show Sine here, opposite / hypotenuse.

sin(x) = 19.8 / 65.9

x = sin^-1 (19.8/65.9)

x = 17.485 degrees (rounded to 3 places)

Hope this helps!! :)

while visiting a mountain, John approximated the angle of elevation to the top of a hill to be 25 degrees. Alfter walking 350 fe
strojnjashka [21]
There are several ways of going about this problem, but just know that it all boils down to triangles and the rules/laws of triangles.
So we start by making a large right triangle, because the hill is vertical with the horizontal ground, with 25° as the left angle (where John looks up to top), 90° is the right angle (where ground meets hill base). So we see that the top side of the triangle is the hypotenuse, and equals the line of sight from John to hilltop.
Now we've got additional information that if John walks 350ft towards the hill, his angle of elevation increases by 14. So that = 25+14 = 39. How does that possibly help us?? Well now we can make 2 triangles inside of the one we've already made. So that now we have the triangle base split between the left angle of 25° and where he stopped 350ft to the right of that.
Now the supplement of 39 is 141, and the remaining piece of that too left triangle = 180-25-141 = 14. What does that mean? Well now we have a triangle, where we know all 3 angles and 1 side --> we can find another side by the law of sines:
If a, b and c are the lengths of the legs of a triangle opposite to the angles A, B and C respectively; then the law of sines states:
a÷sinA = b÷sinB = c÷sinC
We really need the hypotenuse to then find our hill height, so we'll make hypotenuse = side b in attached image. That being so, then its opposite angle (B) = 141. And the top right angle (C) = 14 with its opposite side (c) = 350ft.
Now we only need b÷sinB = c÷sinC
So b/sin141 = 350/sin14 --> b = 350sin141/sin14 = 350×.63/
b = 220.3/.24 = 910.47 ft
Now that's our hypotenuse, so using our original large right triangle, we can use right triangular trig. to solve. Let's make the right side, our hill height, equal to x.
Sin ¥ = opp. side / hypotenuse -->
Sin ¥ = x / hypotenuse
Sin25 = x / 910.5
x = 910.5×sin25 = 910.5×.423
x = 384.8 ft
