Answer:

3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 20 feet

area = 21 feet²

If the desk is a rectangle:

perimeter = 2l + 2w = 2 (l+w) = 20

                                    2 (l+w) = 20 , divide both sides by 2

                                          l+w = 10

area = l · w = 21

What numbers we know that have sum as 10 and their product as 21?

l + w = 10

l · w = 21

factors of 21 are 1,3,7

3+7 = 10

3 ·7 = 21

The dimensions of the desk could be 3 feet by 7 feet.

Find sin 0, where is the angle shown.<br> Give an exact value, not a decimal approximation.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

sinθ = \frac{24}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle,

Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

                      = (24)² + 7²

Hypotenuse = √625 = 25

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

sinθ = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Since, measure of opposite side = 24

Measure of hypotenuse = 25

Therefore, sinθ = \frac{24}{25} will be the answer.
