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

What is the value of q?

andre [41]

Answer: here

Step-by-step explanation:riangles QST and RST are similar. Therefore, the following is true:

q s

--- = ---- This results in 10q=rs.

r 10

Also, since RST is a right triangle, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2.

Since QST is also a right triangle, s^2 + 10^2 = r^2.

4 s

Also: ---- = ----- which leads to s^2 = 40

s 10

Because of this, 4^2 + s^2 = q^2 becomes 16 + 40 = 56 = q^2

Then q = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(14) = 2*sqrt(14) (answer)

The equation tan(x- pi/3) is equal to _____.

kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the expansion

tan(x - y) = $\frac{tanx-tany}{1+tanxtany}$ , then

tan(x - $\frac{\pi }{3}$ )

= $\frac{tanx-tan(-\frac{\pi }{3}) }{1+tanxtan(-\frac{\pi }{3}) }$

note that tan( - $\frac{\pi }{3}$ ) = - tan( $\frac{\pi }{3}$ ) = - $\sqrt{3}$

= $\frac{tanx-(-\sqrt{3}) }{1+tanx(-\sqrt{3}) }$

= $\frac{tanx+\sqrt{3} }{1-\sqrt{3}tanx }$ → B
