x is in quadrant I, so 0, which means 0, so \dfrac x2 belongs to the same quadrant.

Now,

\tan^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\sin^2\frac x2}{\cos^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{\frac{1-\cos x}2}{\frac{1+\cos x}2}=\dfrac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}

Since \sin x=\dfrac5{13}, it follows that

\cos^2x=1-\sin^2x\implies \cos x=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac5{13}\right)^2}=\pm\dfrac{12}{13}

Since x belongs to the first quadrant, you take the positive root (\cos x>0 for x in quadrant I). Then

\tan\dfrac x2=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{12}{13}}{1+\frac{12}{13}}}

\tan x is also positive for x in quadrant I, so you take the positive root again. You're left with

\tan\dfrac x2=\dfrac15

Point slope formula is y= mx+b. To find the slope, or m, you need to find the "rise over run". rise = y coordinates, run = x coordinates. And the slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2. So let's say the first point is (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2). that would be 35-(-31)/5-(-6)= 66/11 or 6/1 aka up six, across one. That is your slope. So far you have y=6x+b, next plug (5,35) into that equation and solve for b (aka the y intercept). So: 35=6(5)+b. 35-30=b, b=5. So your final equation is y=6x+5.

Answer:

4x cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suares have to have all 4 sides equal. The area of the rectangle (2x8) is 16.
