Answer:
Image result for The length of a rectangle is 3 more than five times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 30 meters, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
To find the width, multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.
Answer:
D) cot(C) = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can go through each choice and examine is validity.
Choice A)
We have:
Recall that secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent.
With respect to B, the adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 7.
Therefore, sec(B) should be 7/6 instead.
A is incorrect.
Choice B)
We have:
Cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to B, the adjacent side is 6 and the opposite side is 3.
Therefore, cot(B) = 6/3 = 2.
B is incorrect.
Choice C)
C is incorrect for the reasons listed in A.
Choice D)
We have:
Again, cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to C, the adjacent side is 3 and the opposite side is 6.
So, cot(C) = 3/6 = 1/2.
Therefore, D is the correct choice!
