Answer:

L = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the Length x and width x - 15 since the width is 15 less than length

Eric needs 70 of fencing in total, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all sides

x + x + (x - 15) + (x - 15) = 70 add like terms

4x - 30 = 70 add 30 to both sides

4x = 100 divide both sides by 4

x = 25

<u>Answer </u><u>:</u>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u>

  • The shape of the yard is rectangular
  • Width is 15 yards less than the length
  • Total fencing required is 70 feet

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>:</u>

  • Appropriate equation
  • Dimensions

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

We know that for fencing we need to find the perimeter ,

  • Perimeter of a rectangle
  • => 2 ( length + breadth )

Let us assume the value of length be x yards

  • Width = x - 15 yards

Solving the question we get ,

  • 2 ( x + ( x - 15 ) ) = 70
  • 2 ( x + x - 15 ) = 70
  • 2 ( 2x - 15 ) = 70
  • 4x - 30 = 70
  • 4x = 100
  • \sf\implies\:x\:=\:\dfrac{100}{4}
  • x = 25

Length = 25 yards

Breadth = 25 - 4

  • 21 yards

I need to find the perimeter and area of the regular polygon.
mezya [45]
The area of a polygon is given by the formula Area = ap/2 where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter. The apothem is a line from the center of the polygon perpendicular to a side.

Depending on the formula you know, you can find the length of a side in 1 of 2 ways. 

The first way uses a triangle. Using the radius of the polygon you can create 8 congruent triangles. The center angle will be 360 / 8 = 45 and two side lengths of 20. You can find the length of the base using the law of cosines.

c^2 = 20^2 + 20^2 - 2(20)(20)(cos 45)
c^2 = 400 + 400 - 800(cos 45)
c^2 = 800 - 800(cos 45)
c = sqrt(800 - 800(cos 45)
c = 15.31

The second way is to use this formula:
r = s / (2 sin(180 / n))
20 = s / (2 sin(180/8)
(20)(2)sin(22.5) = s
(40)sin(22.5) = s
s = 15.31

We need to calculate the perimeter. As there are 8 sides (8)(15.31) = 122.48
Now we need to calculate the apothem using

a = S / (2 tan (180 / n)
a = 15.31 / (2 tan (180 / 8))
a = 18.48

Now solve for the area

Area = ap/2
Area = (18.48)(122.48)/2
Area = 1131.72

perimeter = 122.48
area = 1131.72

The second quartile of a data set is 4.2. Which statement about the data values is true?
Setler [38]
The second quartile is also the median. which is 50% of the data. So 1/2 of the data lies below it, and 1/2 of the data lies above it.
the correct answer would be A. the data value of 2.5 will lie below the second quartile.

Given f(x) = 5x - 6 and g(x) = x2 - 5x + 6, find the function (f + g)(x). Use the ^ key for the exponent. Enter your answer as t
sesenic [268]
The answer is x².

f(x) = <span>5x - 6
</span>g(x) = x²<span> - 5x + 6

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
              = </span>5x - 6 + x² - 5x + 6
              = x² + 5x - 5x + 6 - 6
              = x² + 0 + 0
              = x²
