In order to answer this one, it's really really really really helpful if you know what the law of cosines says. In fact it's absolutely necessary.
The law of cosines says if you know two sides of a triangle and the angle between them then you can use that information to find the length of the third side.
In the picture you know the lengths of two sides and you know the angle between them. So you can use the law of cosines to find the length of the third sidethat. That's side AC.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is found by adding together all the lengths of the sides. For us, that is x + (2x + 5) + (6x - 17) + (3x + 2). Now we will just combine like terms. We can also drop the parenthesis because they do nothing for us and mean nothing to the problem.
x + 2x + 5 + 6x - 17 + 3x + 2 becomes
12x - 10
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sides of the garden</u>
<u>New dimensions of the garden</u>
<u>1. The area of the new garden</u>
- (16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128
<u>2. The difference in area </u>
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
- 2x^2 + 32x
<u>3. x= 2 effect on the area</u>
- 2*2^2 + 32*2 =
- 8 + 64 =
- 72 ft²
<u>4. Area difference = 160</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 160
- x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
- Solving we get positive root of 4 ft
<u>5. Area difference = 4 times</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
- 2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
- x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
- Solving we get positive root of 8 ft
Answer:
80 sqcm
Step-by-step explanation:
area of the full rectangle is 96 sqcm (12x8) and then you subtract the area of the cutout (4x4)
