Answer:

  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the length of the third side. The first side is 7 ft more, so is (t +7). The second side is 1 ft shorter than 3 times the third side, so is (3t -1). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  21 = (t +7) +(3t -1) +t

  21 = 5t +6

  15 = 5t . . . . . . . subtract 6

  3 = t . . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the length of the second side is ...

  3t -1 = 3·3 -1 = 8 . . . . feet

The length of the second side is 8 feet.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first side is 3+7 = 10 ft. So the three side lengths are 10 ft, 8 ft, 3 ft.

Which expression is equivalent to cos120°? ° cos240° cos300° cos420°?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Option 1 - cos 240°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression \cos 120^\circ

To find : Which expression is equivalent to given expression ?  

Solution :

The given  expression is equivalent to those whose value is same as \cos 120^\circ

Value of

\cos 120^\circ= \cos (180-60)

\cos 120^\circ= -\cos 60

\cos 120^\circ= -\frac{1}{2}

value of cos in second quadrant is negative.

Option 1 : \cos 240^\circ

\cos 240^\circ= \cos (180+60)

\cos 240^\circ= -\cos 60

\cos 240^\circ= -\frac{1}{2}

Equivalent

Option 2 : \cos 300^\circ

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (360-60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180- 60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (60)

\cos 300^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

Option 3 : \cos 420^\circ

\cos 420^\circ= \cos (360+60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180+60)

\cos 420^\circ= \cos 60

\cos 420^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

Therefore, Correct option is 1.

\cos 120^\circ=\cos 240^\circ=-\frac{1}{2}

A line with a slope of –2 passes through the point (–4, 8). What is the equation of the slope-intercept form?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

y= -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.

subst. m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x= -4, y=8,

8= -2(-4) +c

8= 8 +c (expand)

c= 8-8 (-8 on both sides)

c=0 (simplify)

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -2x.
