Answer:

<h2>Length = 14</h2><h2>Width =7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \:the\:length\:be \:x\\Perimeter = 42 cm\\Width = x -7\\\\P = 2(l+b)\\\\42 = 2(x+(x-7))\\\\42 = 2(x +x-7)\\42 = 2(2x-7)\\42 = 4x -14\\Collect\:like\:terms\\\\42+14=4x\\56 = 4x\\\\Divide \:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by \:4\\\frac{56}{4} = \frac{4x}{4} \\\\14 =x\\Length = 14\\Width = x-7\\Width = 14-7\\\\Width = 7$

Answer: length = 14cm width= 7cm, Area = 98cm^2

Explanation:

First let’s find the semi perimeter of the rectangle:

Semi. = P/2
Semi. = 42/2
Semi. = 21

Find length:

L + L - 7 = 21 (L - 7 is the width)
2L - 7 = 21
2L = 28
L = 28/2
L = 14

Find width:

Width is L - 7

But L is 14

W = 14 - 7
W = 7

Find area:

A = LW
A = 14 x 7
A = 98cm^2

The center is (0, -3.2) and the radius is 2.2.

Radda [10]

Answer:

$x^{2} +(y+3.2)^{2} =2.2^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2} =r^{2}$

The center is (h, k)

r is the radius

The right triangle shown has angles X, Y, and Z and side lengths a, b, and

laiz [17]

So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:

A.) Cos Z=b/c
B.) Sin X=c/b
C.) Tan X=b/a
<span>D.) Tan Z=a/b
</span>
The answer would then be B. SinX = c/b.

Just remember SOH CAH TOA:

Sinθ=  Opposite    Cosθ = Adjacent Tanθ= Opposite
Hypotenuse    Hypotenuse    Adjacent

Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which.

Given m∠Z
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinZ=  a      CosZ = b TanZ= a
c     c    b

Given m∠X:

Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinX= <u> b </u>     CosX =<span><u> a </u></span>   TanX=<span><u> b </u></span>
c     c a

So the answer is B.

Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.
