Step-by-step explanation:

let the width = y

the length =y-10

area of rectangle=length ×breadth

171 =y-10×y

171=y^2-10y

it turns into quadratic equation

y^2-10y+171=0

cant be solved by factorization therefore use general formula

y=-b+or-√(b^2-4ab)/2a

a=1 (coefficient of y^2) ,b=-10 , c=171

y=--10+or-√{10^2-4(1)(10)}\2(1)

y=10+or-√{100-40}\2

y=10+or-√60/2

y=10+or-(7.74/2)

y=10+3.87

y=13.87cm

OR

y=10-3.87

y=6.13cm

if y=13.87 then width is 13.87&length is 13.87-10

=3.87

OR

if y=6.13 then width is 6.13&length is 6.13-10=-3.87

On a unit circle, the vertical distance from the x-axis to a point on the perimeter of the circle is twice the horizontal
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

  (2/5)√5 ≈ 0.894427

Step-by-step explanation:

You require the y-coordinate of the point that satisfies two equations:

  x^2 +y^2 = 1

  y = 2x

Substituting for x, we have ...

  (y/2)^2 +y^2 = 1

  y^2(5/4) = 1

  y^2 = 4/5

  y = (2/5)√5 ≈ 0.894427

The sine of the angle is (2/5)√5 ≈ 0.894427.

Ricks sporting good:

100% - 20% = 80% so the basketball is on sale for 80% of the original price so 24.95 x 0.80 = 19.96 ( sale price)

Sports Expert:
   100% - 25% = 75%
 so the basketball is on sale for 75% of the original price 25.80 x 0.75 = 19.35 (sale price)

19.35 is less than 19.96 so the better deal is from Sports Expert
