Answer:

The base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, <em>A</em> = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (<em>b</em>) = 6x - 4

height (<em>h</em>) = x + 3

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{  3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{  3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60

The value of base and height are:

\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}

Thus, the base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The identities you need here are:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}  and   r^2=x^2+y^2

You also need to know that

x = rcosθ  and

y = rsinθ

to get this done.

We have

r = 6 sin θ

Let's first multiply both sides by r (you'll always begin these this way; you'll see why in a second):

r² = 6r sin θ

Now let's replace r² with what it's equal to:

x² + y² = 6r sin θ

Now let's replace r sin θ with what it's equal to:

x² + y² = 6y

That looks like the beginnings of a circle.  Let's get everything on one side because I have a feeling we will be completing the square on this:

x^2+y^2-6y=0

Complete the square on the y-terms by taking half its linear term, squaring it and adding it to both sides.

The y linear term is 6.  Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9, so we add 9 in on both sides:

x^2+(y^2-6y+9)=9

In the process of completing the square, we created within that set of parenthesis a perfect square binomial:

x^2+(y-3)^2=9

And there's your circle!  Third choice down is the one you want.

Fun, huh?
