Answer: 43.6 (Rounded to the tenth)
Explanation: Use the method of: SOH CAH TOA.
Using TOA, T = Tangent.
tan(71) = x/15. Using the butterfly method you can just do the following equation:
15 tan(71) = 43.56 (Rounded to tenth) —> 43.6
Answer:
2np + p²
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s = the length of one side of the square. In the case of the smaller square the area would be: n x n = n². Since the side of the larger square is 'p' inches longer, the length of one side is 'n + p'. To find the area of the larger square, we have to take the length x length or (n +p)².
Using FOIL (forward, outside, inside, last):
(n + p)(n+p) = n² + 2np + p²
Since the area of the first triangle is n², we can subtract this amount from the area of the larger square to find out how many square inches greater the larger square area is.
n² + 2np + p² - n² = 2np + p²
-12 < -6x
-12/-6 > x divide both sides by -6
12/6 > x two negatives makes a positive
2 > x simplify
x < 2 switch sides
hope this helps, God bless!
