Given dimensions of a rectangular garden are:
length = 2(x+6) feet
width = 3.5x feet
using the distributive property on length we get, length = 2x+12
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width)
So, P = 2(2x+12+3.5x)
Solving it we get,
P = 2(5.5x +12) ..............adding like terms
P = .............multiplying and adding
P = 11x+24
So, perimeter is 11x+24 feet. This value of fencing will be needed.
Answer:
The answer is;
54.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameter are;
Triangle ΔFGH = Right triangle
The length of segment = 48
The measure of ∠HFG = 28°
The measurement required = The measure of segment = x
The measure of ∠FHG = 90° angle opposite hypotenuse side of a right triangle
Therefore, ∠FGH = 180° - ∠HFG - ∠FHG = 180° - 90° - 28° = 62°
∠FGH = 62°
By sine rule, we have;
/(sin ∠FGH) =
/(sin(∠FHG)
By substituting the known values, we have;
48/(sin 62°) = x/(sin(90°)
sin(90°) = 1, therefore, we have;
x/1 = x = 48/(sin 62°) = 54.4 (by rounding the answer to the nearest tenth)
x = 54.4
