Answer:

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece have length x.

Since the ratio is 2:3 and the longer piece is 21 feet long, we can write that as 2:3 = x:21.

Writing it as fractions, we get 2/3 = x/21 —(multiply by 21)—> x = 21*2/3 = 7*2 = 14 feet.

Thus, the shorter piece is 14 feet.

I hope this helps! :)

the shorter piece is 14ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

longer piece will be x:21

ratio of two pieces= 2:3

2:3=x:21

2/3=X/21

then cross multiply

21×2=3x

42/3=3x/3

X=14

2:3=14:21

hope it helps

1+sinx+cosx/1+sinx-cosx=1+cosx/sinx help pls by proving
Monica [59]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll  write sin x as s and cos x as c so we have:

(1 + s +c)/(1 + s - c) = (1 + c)/s

Cross multiplying:

s + s^2 + cs  = 1 + s - c + c + cs - c^2

s  + s^2 + cs = 1 + s + cs - c^2

s^2 + c^2 + s - s + cs - cs = 1

s^2 + c^2 = 1.

- that is sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 which is a known identity.

Therefore the original identity is proved.
