Part A:
Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches
As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches
Perimeter is given as = 54 inches
Perimeter = 
Equation becomes:
=54

Part B:
Solving the equation we get




Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches
Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches
Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.
The domain will be x>0 because their cannot be negative people or negative cost of living per person.
Answer:
d. 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of adjacent terms is the common ratio:
(3/12)/(3/3) = 3/12 = 1/4

Answer:
21.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A useful way to write the Law of Sines relation when solving for side lengths is ...
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
Then the solution for 'a' is found by multiplying by sin(A):
a = sin(A)(b/sin(B)) = b·sin(A)/sin(B)
__
We need to know the angle A. Its value is ...
A = 180° -75° -31.8° = 73.2°
Then the desired length is ...
a = (22 cm)sin(73.2°)/sin(75°) ≈ (22 cm)(0.9573/0.9659)
a ≈ 21.8 cm
_____
I like to use the longest side and largest angle in the equation when those are available. That is why I chose 75° and 22 cm.
