The length of a rectangle is 2 inches less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 74 inches, what is the area of the rectangle?

341.25in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=x

Length=x+2

X+x+x+2+x+2=74

4x+4=74

4x=70

x=17.5

width=x=17.5

length=x+2=19.5

A=LW

A=17.5*19.5

A=341.25in²

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
