Answer:

20 x 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First I just drew out two squares, one was the first un-cut square and the second is the cut one. Since we know that the area of the smaller square is 144, and Area is just side^2 , we know that all the sides of the smaller square are 12. Now, all we have to do is add 8 to 12 to get the original lawn. The original lawn was a 20 x 20 ft lawn.

Y=6x+5 is the equation. what is its gradient
Irina18 [472]
Gradient is synonymous to slope.

y = 6x + 5 is an example of a slope-intercept form of a straight-line equationl.

The slope-intercept equation is like this:

y = mx + b

where : m = slope ; b = "y-intercept"

y = 6x + 5

6 is the slope
5 is the y-intercept.

Since slope and gradient are synonymous, 6 is the gradient of the above equation.

Please help I dont understand
Arisa [49]

Answer:

38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Law of Cosines,

5² = 3² + 7² - 2(3)(7) cos A

5² - 3² - 7² = -2(3)(7) cos A

-33 = -42 cos A

cos A = 33/42

A = arccos(33/42), which is about 38 degrees.
