Answer:

length = 78 m , width = 27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w represent width then length l = 3w - 3

the perimeter (P) is calculated as

P = 2l + 2w = 210 , substitute values

2(3w - 3) + 2w = 210 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6w - 6 + 2w = 210

8w - 6 = 210 ( add 6 to both sides )

8w = 216 ( divide both sides by 8 )

w = 27 and l = 3(27) - 3 = 81 - 3 = 78

Then length = 78 m and width = 27 m

In △ABC, m∠A=39°, a=11, and b=13. Find c to the nearest tenth.

Talja [164]

For this problem, we are going to use the <em>law of sines</em>, which states:

$\dfrac{\sin{A}}{a} = \dfrac{\sin{B}}{b} = \dfrac{\sin{C}}{c}$

In this case, we have an angle and two sides, and we are trying to look for the third side. First, we have to find the angle which corresponds with the second side, $B$ . Then, we can find the third side. Using the law of sines, we can find:

$\dfrac{\sin{39^{\circ}}}{11} = \dfrac{\sin{B}}{13}$

We can use this to solve for $B$ :

$13 \cdot \dfrac{\sin{39^{\circ}}}{11} = \sin{B}$

$B = \sin^{-1}{\Big(13 \cdot \dfrac{\sin{39^{\circ}}}{11}\Big)} \approx 48.1$

Now, we can find $C$ :

$C = 180^{\circ} - 48.1^{\circ} - 39^{\circ} = 92.9^{\circ}$

Using this, we can find $c$ :

$\dfrac{\sin{39^{\circ}}}{11} = \dfrac{\sin{92.9^{\circ}}}{c}$

$c = \dfrac{11\sin{92.9^{\circ}}}{\sin{39^{\circ}}} \approx \boxed{17.5}$

c is approximately 17.5.

Help me please with explanation

8_murik_8 [283]

Step-by-step explanation:

angle AOB = x+3

angle AOC = 2x + 11

angle BOC = 4x-7

angle AOC = angle AOB + angle BOC

=> 2x +11 = (x+3) + (4x-7)

2x +11 = 5x - 4

=> 3x = 15

x = 5

subst x = 5 in the given formulas

angle AOB = x +3 =8

angle AOC = 2x + 11 = 21

angle BOC = 4x - 7 = 13
