Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take square 4 X 4. Perimeter =16

Take rectangle h2 X w6. Perimeter =16

Clearly the same perimeter and not congruent

but this is just what I think

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose one of them is a perimeter of 24

P = 1 + 1 + 11 + 11

P = 24

The second one has these dimensions

P = 4 + 4 + 8 + 8

P = 24

Do they look like they could be congruent to you? The first one looks long and narrow.

The second one looks like it's heading to be a square. (It's not of course, but it is closer than the long narrow one).

Using the law of cosins

sin(angle) = Opposite Leg / Hypotenuse

The angle is given as 35 degree and the hypotenuse is given as 30 feet.

Sin(35) = X ( opposite leg) / 30

X = 30 * sin(35)

x = 17.2 feet.

Total height = 17.2 + 6.5 = 23.7, round to 24 feet.

The answer is 24 feet.

What is r=10cos theta in rectangular form

grigory [225]

$r=10\cos\theta\implies r^2=10r\cos\theta\implies x^2+y^2=10x$
