Answer:

length = 36 ft; width = 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

The length is 3x.

The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, and it equals 96 ft.

3x + 3x + x + x = 96

8x = 96

x = 12

Width = x = 12 ft

Length = 3x = 3(12 ft) = 36 ft

Answer:  Required equation : 8w=96

Dimensions of the pen:

Width = 12 feet and Length =36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of rectangular pen, then the length of the rectangular pen will be 3w.

We know that the perimeter of rectangle is given by "2length+2width".

Perimeter of rectangular pen = 2(3w)+2(w) =6w+2w=8w       (1)

Given : You have 96 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular pen for your dog.

i.e. Perimeter of rectangular pen  = 96 feet               (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

8w=96\\\\\Rightarrow\ w=12 [Divide both sides by 8]

Thus, width = 12 feet and length = 3(12)=36 feet.

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. it costs $4.20 per square
ozzi

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that:

-The length is x feet.

- The width is y feet.

- The height is z feet.

2. The box has one base. The cost of the base is:

c1=4.20xy

3. It has four sides. The cost of the sides are:

c2=2(0.75yz)+2(0.75xy)\\ c2=1.5yz+1.5xy

The answer is: The total cost is c=c1+c2\\ c=4.20xy+1.5yz+1.5xy

WXY is a right triangle. <br><br> A. True. <br> B. False.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. False


Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of  square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).

So  (\sqrt{34} )^{2}  should equal  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}

  • <em>We also know that  (\sqrt{a} )^{2}=(\sqrt{a})(\sqrt{a})=a</em>

Hence,  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}=18+18=36  , and

(\sqrt{34} )^{2}=34

They ARE NOT EQUAL, so the triangle is NOT a right triangle.

An electrician leans an extension ladder against the outside wall of a house so that it reaches an electric box 22 feet up. The
jeka57 [31]

The ladder and the outside wall form a right triangle

The length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

<h3>How to determine the length of the ladder?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Distance (B) = 22 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 77 degrees

The length (L) of the ladder is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = B/L

So, we have:

cos(77) = 22/L

Make L the subject

L = 22/cos(77)

Evaluate the product

L = 97.8

Hence, the length of the ladder is 97.8 feet
