Answer:

x = 4.85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Original area of the petting farm = 10 × 14

= 140 square feet

.

New area = double the original area = 140 * 2

= 280 square feet

New area of the petting farm =

Width × length

280 = (10+x) × (14+x)

280 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x²

280 - 140 = x² + 24x

140 = x² + 24x

x² + 24x - 140 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -24 ± √(24)² - 4*1*-140 / 2*1

= -24 ± √ 576 - (-560) / 2

= -24 ± √ 576 + 560 / 2

= -24 ± √1,136 / 2

= -24 ± 4√71 / 2

= -24/2 ± 4√71/2

= -12 ± 2√71

x = 4.8523 or x = -28.8583

x can not be a negative value

Therefore,

x = 4.85 feet to the nearest hundredth

If ΔEFG ~ ΔLMN with a ratio of 2:1, which of the following is true?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

  segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.

The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:

  • EF corresponds to LM
  • EG corresponds to LN
  • FG corresponds to MN

Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...

  EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice

  EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

cos x cot x + sin x

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}

If we use this definition we got:

cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x

\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

Now we can use the following identity:

sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1

Solving for cos^2 x we got cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x and replacing this we got:

\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x

csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x
