Hello : 
let : x  the lenght    y : the widith
the perimeter is ; 2(x+y)  and the area is : xy
so the system : 2(x+y) =24
                            xy  = 35  
  x+y = 12.....(1)
 xy = 35  ...(2)
 by (1) : y = 12-x
subsct in (2) : (12-x)x = 35
x²-12x+35 = 0
(x-7)(x-5) = 0
x-7=0 or x-5 = 0
x=7 or x=5
if : x=7    y = 12-7 = 5
if : x=5    y = 12-5 =7
but : x<span> <span>><span> y
</span></span></span>conclusion : one solution  (7 , 5).

The dimensions are 7 and 5 inches.

Solve the given equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Let k be any integer. Round terms to two decimal places
sashaice [31]

Answer:

θ = 60° or θ = 120°, which in radians is equivalent to θ = π/3 rad or θ = 2π/3 rad.


Explanation:


The given equation is sin θ = (√3)/2


Solving that equation is finding the value of the angle, θ, whose sine is (√3)/2.


The function that returns the value of the angle whose sine is  (√3)/2 is the inverse function of the sine and it has a special name: arc sine or arcsin.


Hence, θ = arcsin (√3)/2.


You can use your knowledge of the notable angles to solve for that equation.


1) The function sine is positive in first and second quadrants.


2) The angles in the first quadrant go from 0° to 90°.


3) The sine of 60° (√3)/2, Hence the first value of θ is 60°


4) The angles in the second quatrant go from 90° to 120°. 60° is  the reference angle in the second quadrant, and the angle searched is

  • 180° - reference angle = 180° - 60° = 120°. So, 120° is the other solution of the equation.

5) You can convert both angles to radians using the equivalence

  • π radians = 180° ⇒ 1 = π rad / 180°
  • 60° = 60° × π rad / 180° = π/ 3 rad
  • 120° = 120° × π rad / 180° = 2π/3 rad

6) You can verify that sin 60° = (√3)/2 = sin 120° .

a customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $11.50 and 9 shrubs. the total bill was $94.75. write and solv
Mrac [35]
To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,
                                 $11.50 + 9p = $94.75
The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.

Amy wants to rent a bicycle for the day. The company charges $12 to rent the bike, plus $6 per hour. If Amy has a budget of $42,
Arturiano [62]
Using the equation y=6x+12, where x is the number of hours and y is the total cost for the given value of x, you can plug in 42 for y and solve:

42=6x+12
42-12=6x
30/6=x
5=x

Thus, Amy can rent the bike for 5 hours.
