Answer:

Width of rectangular piece = x = 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangular piece = 62 inches

Let width of rectangular piece= x

and length of rectangular piece = x+15

We need to find width i.e value of x

The formula used for perimeter of rectangle is: Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\

Putting values in formula and finding Width:

Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\62=2(x+x+15)\\62=2(2x+15)\\62=4x+30\\62-30=4x\\4x=32\\x=\frac{32}{4}\\x=8

After solving we get value of x = 8

So, Width of rectangular piece = x = 8 inches

What is the measure of KPN?<br> A. 35°<br> B. 50°<br> C. 60°<br> D.65°<br> E. 70°
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

NL and KM are the two lines intersecting at a point P.

Therefore, ∠KPN ≅ LPM [Vertical angles]

In ΔPLM,

m∠LPM + m∠PML + m∠PLM = 180° [Property of a triangle]

m∠LPM + 70° + 60° = 180°

m∠LPM + 130° = 180°

m∠LPM = 180° - 130°

m∠LPM = 50°

Therefore, m∠KPN = 50° [vertical angles]

Option (B) will be the correct option.

A painter is placing a ladder to reach the third story window, which is 12 feet above the ground and makes an angle of 80 degree
mash [69]
We know that
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅
adjacent side angle ∅=opposite side angle/tan ∅

in this problem
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
angle ∅=80°
opposite side angle ∅=12 ft  (AB)
adjacent side angle ∅=? (AC)
adjacent side angle ∅=12/tan 80°------> 2.12 ft

the answer is
2.12 ft
