Answer:

<u>L = 12 inches and W = 8 inches</u>

<u>Area = 96 in^2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter(P) = 2(width) + 2(length)

Let W = width and L = length

P = 2W + 2L

L = 2W - 4

Substitute:  P = 2W + 2(2W - 4)

P = 6W - 8

P = 40 inches

40 = 6W - 8

6W = 48

W = 8

L = 2W - 4

L = 2(8) - 4

L = 12

<u>L = 12 inches and W = 8 inches</u>

<u>===============================</u>

Check to see if this works:  

P = 2W + 2L

P = 2(12) + 2(8)

P = 24 + 16

P = 40 inches  <u>YES</u>

<u>========</u>

Area = WxL

Area = (12)*(8)

<u>Area = 96 in^2</u>

Find the length of BC, in simplest radical form.

Answer:

  BC = 16 +12√3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached, we see that ∆ABE is a 30°-60°-90° triangle with AB the short side and BE the hypotenuse. Then BE = 2·AB = 12√3.

EC is the side opposite AD in parallelogram ADCE, so is the same length, 16.

The length BC is ...

  BC = EC +BE

 BC = 16 +12√3

The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. The length of the wire is 81.5 meters.

<h3>What is Sine (Sinθ)?</h3>

The Sine or Sinθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.

The length of the tower is 80 meters, while the angle of elevation is 79°. Therefore, the length of the wire will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, the length of the wire is,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

Sin(79°) = 80 meter/Length of the wire

Length of the wire = 81.4973 ≈ 81.5 meters

Hence, the length of the wire is 81.5 meters.
