Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units

In △ABC, m∠ABC=40°,
Alchen [17]

Let m∠CLN = x. Then m∠ALM = 3x, and m∠A = 90°-x, m∠C = 90°-3x.

The sum of angles of ∆ABC is 180°, so we have

... 180° = 40° + m∠A + m∠C

Using the above expressions for m∠A and m∠C, we can write ...

... 180° = 40° + (90° -x) + (90° -3x)

... 4x = 40° . . . . . . . . . add 4x-180°

... x = 10°

From which we conclude ...

... m∠C = 90°-3x = 90° - 3·10° = 60°

The ratio of CN to CL is

... CN/CL = cos(∠C) = cos(60°)

... CN/CL = 1/2

so ...

... CN = (1/2)CL

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of i10 a different of -4and a product of -29​
lianna [129]
<h2>-2+5i and 2+5i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the complex numbers be a+ib\textrm{ and }c+id.

Given, sum is 10i, difference is -4 and product is -29.

(a+c)+i(b+d)=10i ⇒ a+c=0,b+d=10

(a-c)+i(b-d)=-4 ⇒ a-c=-4,b-d=0

a=-2,c=2,b=5,d=5

(a+ib)(c+id)=(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4-25=-29

Hence, all three equations are consistent yielding the complex numbers -2+5i\textrm{ and }2+5i.

I rent a gym for $150.00 for 30 students. Another time I rent the gym for $270.00 for 70 students. I need to find a fixed rate.
masha68 [24]

Answer: y = 3x + 60

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up two equations and solve the system:

 270 = 70x + b

- <u>(150 = 30x + b)</u>

  120 = 40x

    3   =  x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b


Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

Henry is asked to find the exact value of cos 10pi/3. His steps are shown below.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<em>A) The reference angle should be </em><u><em>\frac{\pi }{3},</em></u><em> and the sign of the value should be </em><u><em>negative.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(\frac{10\pi }{3})

Remove full rotations of 2π until the angle is between 0 and 2\pi.

cos(\frac{4\pi }{3})

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosine is negative in the third quadrant.

 -cos(\frac{\pi }{3})

The exact value of cos(\frac{\pi }{3}) is \frac{1}{2}.

−\frac{1}{2}
