Answer:
The correct length is <em>34 feet</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the wall created is a rectangle <em>ABCD</em> as shown in the attached image.
We know that opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
<em>Perimeter</em> of a <em>closed figure is calculated by adding all the sides of the figure</em>.
Here, from the figure, the perimeter is : AB + BC + CD + DA
AB and CD are equal to length.
BC and DA are equal to width.
So,

Here, we are given that <em>perimeter </em>is 100 feet and <em>width</em> = 16 feet
Putting values in equation (1):

Hence, length is 34 feet.
For the given triangle, the cosine of angle A equals
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; In the given triangle, the opposite side has a length of 9 units, the adjacent side has a length of 3√3 units while the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 6√3 units. To calculate the cosine of angle A we divide the adjacent side by the hypotenuse side.
cos A =
.
Step 2; Length of the adjacent side = 3√3 units.
Length of the hypotenuse side = 6√3 units.
cos A = 3√3 / 6√3
cos A =
.
To check we also have A = 60° and cos 60° =
.
