Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
Answer:
0.0154°
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we are required to solve for x, which is the angle, there are two ways to go about about it, we either use four figure table or calculator.
To use calculator remember to set your calculator in degrees and not in radian.
Punch sin 0.8829=0.0154°
Its given that
We need to find t when d = 74
Therefore, 
or
t(16t + 37) - 2(16t + 37) = 0
(t - 2)(16t + 37) = 0
t - 2 = 0 or 16t + 37 = 0
t couldn't be negative.
Therefore, t = 2
Hence, it will take 2 seconds for the object to travel 74 feet.
