Answer:

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

\displaystyle A=w\ell

Where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length.

The length is five feet longer than the width. Thus, we can write that:

\ell = w+5

The total area is 1800 square feet. Substitute:

1800=w(w+5)

Solve for <em>w</em>. Distribute:

w^2+5w=1800

Subtract 1800 from both sides:

w^2+5w-1800=0

Factor. We can use 45 and -40. Hence:

\displaystyle (w+45)(w-40)=0

Zero Product Property:

w+45=0\text{ or } w-40=0

Solve for each case:

\displaystyle w=-45\text{ or } w=40

Since the width cannot be negative, we can ignore the first solution.

So, the width is 40 feet. Since the length is five feet longer, the length is 45 feet.

The dimensions are 45 feet by 40 feet.

How do I complete these questions a bit confused . (extra credit work )​

Answer:

(1)

a = \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}

b = \frac{3}{2}

(2)

a = \sqrt 6

b = \sqrt 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

Considering

\theta = 60^o

We have:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

This gives:

\sin(60^o) = \frac{a}{3}

Solve for a

a = 3 * \sin(60^o)

\sin(60^o) = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

So:

a = 3 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

a = \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}

To solve for b, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

3^2 = a^2 + b^2

This gives

3^2 = (\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2})^2 + b^2

9 = \frac{9*3}{4} + b^2

9 = \frac{27}{4} + b^2

Collect like terms

b^2 = 9 - \frac{27}{4}

Take LCM and solve

b^2 = \frac{36 - 27}{4}

b^2 = \frac{9}{4}

Take square roots

b = \frac{3}{2}

Solving (2):

Considering

\theta = 60^o

We have:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

This gives:

\sin(60^o) = \frac{a}{2\sqrt 2}

Solve for a

a = 2\sqrt 2 * \sin(60^o)

\sin(60^o) = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

So:

a = 2\sqrt 2 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

a = \sqrt 2 * \sqrt 3

a = \sqrt 6

To solve for b, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

(2\sqrt 2)^2 = a^2 + b^2

This gives

(2\sqrt 2)^2 = (\sqrt 6)^2 + b^2

8 = 6 + b^2

Collect like terms

b^2 = 8 - 6

b^2 = 2

Take square roots

b = \sqrt 2

11. 33 is what percent of 75?
alukav5142 [94]
If you would like to know what percent of 75 is 33, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 75 is 33
x% * 75 = 33
x/100 * 75 = 33     /*100/75
x = 33 * 100 / 75
x = 44%

Result: 44% of 75 is 33.
