Let the width of the yard be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18
Perimeter for rectangle = 2(l + w)
2(l + w) = 72
2(w+18 + w) = 72 Divide 2 on both sides
(w + 18 + w) = 36
2w + 18 = 36
2w = 36 - 18
2w = 18 Divide 2 on both sides
w = 18/2
w = 9
Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27
Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27
Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 = 243
Area of rectangular yard = 243 square feet.
Change in number of seats = 144 - 111 = 33
percentage increase = 33/111 x 100 = 29.8% (nearest tenths)
A: a horizontal shrink would be caused by cos 3x.
B: a vertical stretch would be caused by 3 cos x
C: a horizontal stretch would be caused by cos (1/3)x
D: a vertical shrink would be caused by 1/3 cos x.
