The area of the rectangle is 108 square centimeters.

Given Information

The following information has been given in the question,

Length of the diagonal of the rectangle, l = 15 cm

Length of one of the sides of the rectangle, a = 9 cm

Let the other side of the rectangle be b.

Finding the Other Side of the Rectangle

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²

Applying this theorem in the right-angle triangle formed by the diagonal and 9cm side of the rectangle, we get,

l² = a² + b² [∵ The diagonal makes the hypotenuse]

(15)² = (9)² + b²

b² = (15)² - (9)²

b² = 225 - 81

b² = 144

b = √144

b = 12 cm

Calculating the Area of the Rectangle

Area of the rectangle, A = a × b

A = 9 × 12

A = 108 cm²

Which is an equation of the line with slope –3 and passes through (2, –1)

Savatey [412]

using the formula:

y = mx +b

Using the given slope and coordinate points we get:

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

add 6 to each side

5 = b

y = -3x + 5

which is the same as:

3x + y = 5 ...answer choice a

The answer is 8
Here's why:
${ ( \frac{( {6}^{7}) \times ( {3}^{3}) }{( {6}^{6}) \times ( {3}^{4} ) } )}^{3} = \\ ( \frac{6}{3} ) ^{3} = \\ \frac{216}{27} = 8$
The exponents are subtracted one from another when divided.
$\frac{ a ^{b} }{ {a}^{c} } = {a}^{b - c}$
We can look at the problem this way:
$( \frac{6^{7} }{6 ^{6} } \times \frac{3^{3} }{ {3}^{4} } ) = (6^{7 - 6} \times {3}^{3 - 4} ) = \\ ({6}^{1} \times {3}^{ - 1} )$
Since we have the power of -1 on the 3, we apply this rule:
${a}^{ - b} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{b} }$
Also this rule because we have the power of 1 on the 6:
${a}^{1} = a$
Then we get this:
$(6 \times \frac{1}{3} )^{3} = ( \frac{6}{3} )^{3}$
We apply the rule:
$( \frac{a}{b}) ^{c} = \frac{ {a}^{c} }{ {b}^{c} }$
We get this:
$\frac{{6}^{3} }{ {3}^{3} } = \frac{216}{27} = 8$
