Answer:

length = 48 feet , width = 32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using

2W + 2L = 160 with W = L - 16 , then

2(L - 16) + 2L = 160 ← distribute and simplify left side

2L - 32 + 2L = 160

4L - 32 = 160 ( add 32 to both sides )

4L = 192 ( divide both sides by 4 )

L = 48

Substitute L = 48 into W = L - 16

W = 48 - 16 = 32

Thus length = 48 feet and width = 32 feet

Answer:

l = 48 cm

w =  32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length = l

Width w= l - 16

Perimeter = 160 ft

2*(l + w) = 160

2*(l + l -16) = 160

2*(2l - 16) = 160

Use distributive property

2*2l - 2*16 = 160

4l - 32 = 160  {add 32 to both sides}

4l = 160 + 32

4l = 192            {Divide both sides by 4}

l = 192/4

l = 48 cm

W = 48 - 16 = 32 cm

Why don't you first try to use the cosine law to solve for an angle and then make use of the sin law to solve for the remaining angles.

Cosine law

C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB(cos C)
Solve for cos C, and then take the inverse of the trig ratio to solve for the angle.

Then set up a proportion like you have done using the sin law and solve for another angle. Knowing the sum of all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can easily solve for the remaining angle.

A rectangle has a legnth of 12 inches less than 6 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 3744 square inches, find the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Length = 6x - 12

Width = x

Area of a rectangle:

A = length x width

3744 = (x)(6x - 12)

3744 = 6x^2 - 12x

6x^2 - 12x - 3744 = 0

Use the quadratic equation to solve for x. The two solutions end up being 26 and -24. Since length is a scalar measurement, it can only be positive. Thus, the value of x is equal to 26 inches.

Width = 26 inches

Length = 6(26) - 12 = 144 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

Nancy has a big chocolate bar shaped like a rectangular prism. It is 15 centimeters long, 14 centimeters wide, and 2 centimeters
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: 420 cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume V of a rectangular prism is given by:

V=(length)(width)(thickness)

If the chocolate bar has the following dimensions:

length=15 cm

width=14 cm

thickness=2 cm

Its volume is:

V=(15 cm)(14 cm)(2 cm)

V=420 cm^{3}

Two sides of a triangle measure 9 cm and 23 cm what could be the measurement of the third side of the triangle
Vladimir79 [104]
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
(9)^2 + b^2 = (23)^2
81 + b^2 = 529
b^2 = 529 - 81
b^2 = 448
b^2 =
\sqrt{448}
b = 21.2
