Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

  • The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
  • The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

\\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \pink{ \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} =  Length × Width  }}} \\  \\

On Substituting the required values, we get;

\\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\  \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \:  or \:   - 31 \\ \\

As we know that width of the rectangle can't be negative. So x = 24

<u>Hence</u>,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 24 yards
  • Length of the rectangle = x + 7 = 31 yards

\thereforeLength of rectangle is 31 yards<u> </u>and Width is 24 yards.

Jeremy wants to verify that the transformation shown is a dilation. He finds the lengths of segments QA and AD to be 4 units.
kirill [66]
From the figure, the dilation constant from ΔABC to ΔDEF is
QD/QA = 8/4 = 2

Test QB = QE:
We should have
QB = (1/2) QE
The statement is incorrect.

Test QC = CF:
We should have
QC = (1/2) QF, or QC = CF
The statement is correct.

Test DE = 2AB:
We should have
AB = (1/2)DE, or 2AB = DE.
The statement is correct.

Test AC = EF:
We should have
AC = (1/2)DF
The statement is incorrect.

We should also have
BC = (1/2)EF
Therefore, if BC = 2.25, then
EF = 2*BC = 2*2.25 = 4.5.

Answer:
QC = CF
DE = 2AB
EF = 4.50
