Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = x

As length is 5 inches longer than width, we have to add 5 to width

Length = x + 5

Perimeter of ractangle = 56 in

2* (length + width) = 56

2*( x + 5 + x) = 56

2* (2x + 5) = 56

Use distributive property: a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a * c)

2*2x + 2*5 = 56

4x + 10 = 56

Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 56- 10

4x = 46

Divide both sides by 4

x = 46/4

x = 11.5

Width = 11.5 in

length = 11.5 + 5

= 16.5 in

77. $\cot^{6} x = \cot^{4} x \csc^{2}x - \cot^{4} x$ Proved

78. $\sec^{4}x \tan^{2} x = \sec^{2}x [\tan^{2}x + \tan^{4}x ]$ Proved

79. $\cos^{3} x\sin^{2} x = [\sin^{2}x - \sin^{4}x] \cos x$ Proved.

80. $\sin^{4}x - \cos^{4}x = 1 - 2\cos^{2}x + 2 \cos^{4} x$ Proved.

Step-by-step explanation:

77. Left hand side

= $\cot^{6} x$

= $\cot^{4} x \times \cot^{2} x$

= $\cot^{4}x [\csc^{2}x - 1]$

{Since we know, $\csc^{2} x - \cot^{2}x = 1$ }

= $\cot^{4} x \csc^{2}x - \cot^{4} x$

= Right hand side (Proved)

78. Left hand side

= $\sec^{4}x \tan^{2} x$

= $\sec^{2} x [1 + \tan^{2}x] \tan^{2} x$

{Since $\sec^{2}x - \tan^{2}x = 1$ }

= $\sec^{2}x [\tan^{2}x + \tan^{4}x ]$

= Right hand side (Proved)

79. Left hand side

= $\cos^{3} x\sin^{2} x$

= $\cos x[1 - \sin^{2} x] \sin^{2} x$

{Since $\sin^{2}x + \cos^{2} x = 1$ }

= $[\sin^{2}x - \sin^{4}x] \cos x$

= Right hand side

80. Left hand side

= $\sin^{4}x - \cos^{4}x$

= $[\sin^{2}x + \cos^{2}x]^{2} - 2\sin^{2} x \cos^{2}x$

{Since $\sin^{2}x + \cos^{2} x = 1$ }

= $1 - 2\cos^{2} x[1 - \cos^{2}x ]$

= $1 - 2\cos^{2}x + 2 \cos^{4} x$

= Right hand side. (Proved)

Answer:

∠U = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the missing angle of U we need to know the two other angles.

We know that ∠T is 65° and we know that ∠TSF is 105°. Because ∠TSF is an exterior angle, we can subtract 180 to get the interior angle. This would mean that ∠S is 75°.

Using this we can add 65 to 75 then subtract the total from 180 to get ∠U.

This would mean that ∠U is 40°
