It is a right triangle
cos 58 = 20/length of rope
length of rope = 20/cos 58 degrees
= 37.74 feet
.28 if 1 was 100,and .28 was 2.8, then we divide 100 by 100 same for 2.8
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, separate the problem into 
Then, Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. 
Simplify. 
Multiply 3 to each side, which will give you -2x = 4x - 36
Subtract 4x from each side -2x - 4x = 4x - 36x - 4x
Combine like terms: -6x = -36
Divide both sides by -6
Your answer should be 6
<em>(sorry for the late answer)</em>
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length, plus twice the width.
P = 2L + 2W
We also know that the perimeter is 156.
P = 156
Finally, we know that the width is 12 less than the length.
W = L - 12.
The next thing that we do is substitute the information that we have into the original equation:
P = 2L + 2W
156 = 2L + 2(L - 12)
From this point we start to solve
156 = 2L + 2L - 24 <---we multiplied the '2' through the parenthesis
156 + 24 = 2L + 2L - 24 + 24
180 = 2L + 2L <--- getting like terms on same sides
180 = 4L <---combining like terms
180/4 = 4L/4 <--- getting like terms on same sides
45 = L <---now we have a value for L
Now we take the known value for L and substitute it in to our equation for W
W = L - 12
W = 45 - 12
W = 33
So now we have Length = 45 and Width = 33.
