Answer:

PT= 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Since T is the midpoint of segment PQ,

PT = TQ

7x - 24 = 6x-2

Subtract 6x both sides and add 24 both sides

7x -6x - 24 = 6x -6x -2

x - 24 + 24 = -2 + 24

x= 22

Substitue x into PT

7(22) - 24

154 - 24

PT= 130

1+Sin/Cos + Cos/1+Sin = 2Sec

Bond [772]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the left-hand side:

$\dfrac{1+\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}} + \dfrac{\cos{\theta}}{1+\sin{\theta}}$

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

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

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2+2\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}(1+\sin{\theta})} =\dfrac{2(1+\sin{\theta})}{\cos{\theta}(1+\sin{\theta})}$

$\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{2}{\cos{\theta}} = 2\sec{\theta}$

A quilt is 72 inches wide and 96 inches long. If the quilt has no border or sashing and the blocks have 4 inch sides, how many b

Bingel [31]

There are 18 blocks across width and 48 blocks run up and down the length of quilt.

Solution:

Given, A quilt is 72 inches wide and 96 inches long.

The blocks have 4 inch sides

Finding number of blocks run across the width of quilt:

$\text { number of blocks across width }=\frac{\text { width of quilt }}{\text { length of each block }}$

$=\frac{72}{4}=18 \text { blocks }$

Finding number of blocks run across length:

$\text { number of blocks across length }=\frac{\text { length of quilt }}{\text { width of each block }}$

$=\frac{96}{4}=24 \text { blocks. }$

Finding number of blocks run up and down the length of the quilt:

$\text { number of blocks run up and down }=2 \times \text { number of blocks across length }$

$=2 \times 24=48 \text { blocks }$

Hence, there are 18 blocks across width and 48 blocks run up and down the length of quilt
