Answer:

The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, let us find the perimeter of the playground

∵ Perimeter of a triangle is P = S1 + S2 + S3

∵ The sides of the triangular playground are (2x) ft, (x - 1) ft, and x ft

∴ S1 = 2x, S2 = x - 1, S3 = x

→ Substitute them in the rule of the perimeter above

∵ P = 2x + x - 1 + x

→ Add the like terms

∴ P = (2x + x + x) - 1

∴ P = 4x - 1

∵ The perimeter of this playground is 27 feet

∴ P = 27

→ Equate the two values of P

∴ 4x - 1 = 27

→ Add 1 to both sides

∴ 4x - 1 + 1 = 27 + 1

∴ 4x = 28

→ Divide both sides by 4

∵ \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{28}{4}

∴ x = 7

→ Substitute the value of x in each side to find their lengths

∵ S1 = 2(7)

∴ S1 = 14 feet

∵ S2 = 7 - 1

∴ S2 = 6 feet

∵ S3 = 7 feet

∴ The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, WX = 8.3 feet, and XV = 2.5 feet. Find the measure of ∠W to the nearest tenth of a degree.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

16.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, WX = 8.3 feet, and XV = 2.5 feet.

We want to find the measure of <W.

We know side length that is adjacent and opposite to <W.

We can use the tangent ratio, to find the measure of <W.

The tangent ratio is opposite over hypotenuse.

\tan(m \angle \: w)  =  \frac{2.5}{8.3}

\tan(m \angle \: w)  =  0.301

Take tangent inverse to get:

m \angle \: w= { \tan}^{ - 1}   (0.301)

m \angle \: w=16.76  \degree
