Answer:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of both lengths and both widths, which is equal to 54 meters. Let's call Length L and Width W.

The question is saying this: L = 3 meters + 3(W). We have 2 variables, which means we need at least 2 equations to solve. So far we have one, our second equation is from the perimeter.

2 lengths + 2 Widths = 54. Now, it's just a plug and chug.

2(3 + 3W) + 2W = 54.

6 + 6W + 2W = 54

8W = 48

W=6

L = 3 + 3(6) = 21

To double check: 2(21) + 2(6) = 42 + 12 = 54

The Width is 6 meters, and the Length is 21 meters.

A line is represented by the equation 2x + 3y = 15. What is another way to represent the same line, for solving Y ? Help is need
Lady bird [3.3K]

The another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given equation of the line is:  2x+3y=15

"Solving y" means <u>we need to get</u> y <u>alone in left side.</u> So, we will eliminate all other terms except y from the left side.

First we will <u>subtract 2x </u>from both sides. So, we will get......

2x+3y-2x=15-2x\\ \\ 3y=15-2x

Now, we will <u>divide both sides by 3</u> for getting y alone. So.....

\frac{3y}{3}= \frac{15-2x}{3}\\ \\ y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

Thus, the another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

A man finds that the angle of elevationof a building is 22º. After walking 20 m towards the building, he finds that the angle of
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

<em>The height of the building is 21.38 m</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trigonometric Ratios</u>

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

The image attached shows the measures and angles provided in the problem. The first angle of elevation is y=22°, the man walks B=20 m and finds the new angle of elevation is x=33°.

It's required to find the height of the building H.

The tangent ratio relates the opposite side with the adjacent side of a given angle. Applying it to the larger triangle:

\displaystyle \tan y=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

\displaystyle \tan 22^\circ=\frac{H}{D+B}

Multiplying by D+B:

\tan 22^\circ(D+B)=H

Dividing by tan 22°

\displaystyle D+B=\frac{H}{\tan 22^\circ}

Subtracting B:

\displaystyle D=\frac{H}{\tan 22^\circ}-B\qquad\qquad[1]

Applying to the smaller triangle:

\displaystyle \tan 33^\circ=\frac{H}{D}

Multiplying by D:

\tan 33^\circ D=H

Substituting from [1]:

\displaystyle \tan 33^\circ \left(\frac{H}{\tan 22^\circ}-B\right)=H

Substituting values:

\displaystyle 0.6494 \left(\frac{H}{0.4040}-20\right)=H

Operating:

1.6074H-12.988=H

1.6074H-H=12.988

0.6074H=12.988

H = 12.988/0.6074

H = 21.38 m

The height of the building is 21.38 m
