Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2L+2W=P where W is the width and L is the length. This is because we have our two sides that are lengths and our two sides that are widths (different values) and we add them together to see what the distance around the whole rectangle is.

So, let's insert these values into the equation.

2(2x+4)+2(x+8)=96

We use the distributive property to remove the parentheses (which is us multiplying our equations for length and width by two).

4x+8+2x+16=96

We combine the like terms.

6x+24=96

We subtract 24 from both sides.

6x=72

Divide both sides by 6.

x=12

Now that we have our value of x, we can plug it into our length and width equations to find those values.

LENGTH:

2x+4

2(12)+4

24+4

28

WIDTH:

x+8

12+8

20

So, our length is 28 and our width is 20.

Have a wonderful rest of your day and keep on learning! :D

Find the area of the trapezoid. Pls explain and I will mark brainliest.
timama [110]

Answer:

  • B. 191.4 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the trapezoid as pictured below

Find its height and the upper base, then find the area of the trapezoid.

There are 3 pieces, two of them are 45°×45° and 30°×60°×90° triangles

  • The ratio of sides of a 30°×60°×90° triangle is  1 : √3 : 2
  • The legs of a 45x45 triangle are equal

<u>The above mentioned properties give us:</u>

  • h = 16/2 = 8 m
  • b = 8√3 ≈ 13.85 m
  • a = h = 8 m

<u>Now find the area:</u>

  • A = 1/2( 13 + 8 + 13.85 + 13)*8 = 191.4 m²

Correct choice is B

Answer:

first option: Harulo is correct because the angle is coterminal with 3π / 4 and the reference angle is π / 4.

Explanation:

1) 19 π/4 = 4π + 3 π/4, which is 4 complete turns and 3/4 of turn.

2) 3 π/4 is in the third quadrant, so the reference angle is π - 3 π/4 = π/4

3) sin (π/4) = sin (3π/4) = (√2) / 2

4) csc (π/4) =  1 / [ sin (3π/4) ] = 1 / [ (√2) / 2 ] = 2 / (√2) = √2, which shows the validity of the statement and csc(19π/4) = √2.
