Answer:

= 221

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght = 250

Width= x

Perimeter = 2 (l+b) = 942

2 x (250 +x) = 942

500 + 2x = 942

2x = 942 - 500= 442

x = 442 /2 = 221

I hope Im right!!

How do I solve this?<br>

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Use law of cosine:

c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos C

c² = (√3 − 1)² + (√3 + 1)² − 2(√3 − 1)(√3 + 1) cos 60°

c² = 3 − 2√3 + 1 + 3 + 2√3 + 1 − 2(3 − 1) (½)

c² = 6

c = √6

(ii) Use law of sines:

a / sin A = c / sin C

(√3 − 1) / sin A = √6 / (½√3)

(√3 − 1) / sin A = 2√2

½ (√3 − 1) = √2 sin A

½ (√6 − √2) = 2 sin A

¼ (√6 − √2) = sin A

Use a calculator:

A = 15°

(iii) Use SAS area:

A = ½ ab sin C

A = ½ (√3 − 1) (√3 + 1) sin 60°

A = ½ (3 − 1) (½√3)

A = ½√3

The simplified form of the expression is -11/9

<h3>Rational expressions</h3>

These are expressions written as fractions. Given the following fraction

$\dfrac{\frac{5}{8} +\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{-2}{3}-\frac{5}{6} }$

Find the LCM of the numerator and denominator

$\dfrac{\frac{5}{8} +\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{-2}{3}-\frac{5}{6} }\\\dfrac{\frac{5+6}{8} }{\frac{-4-5}{6} } \\\dfrac{\frac{11}{8} }{\frac{-9}{8} }$

Divide the result to have:

11/8÷-9/8

11/8 * 8/-9
-11/9

Hence the simplified form of the expression is -11/9
