The ratio of the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle is 1:16

Area of a rectangle

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is expressed as:

A = length * width

For the large triangle

Area = 16 * 12

Area of large triangle = 192 square units

For the smaller rectangle

Area = 4 * 3

Area. of small rectangle = 12 square units

Ratio = 12/192 = 1:16

Hence the ratio of the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle is 1:16

1.) Solve 2x^2-12x+20=0 using the quadratic solution set? What is the solution set?

marshall27 [118]

Please, share just ONE problem at a time. Thanks.

<span>Solve 2x^2-12x+20=0:
Simplify this by dividing each term by 2: x^2 - 6x + 10 = 0

Identify a, b and c: a=1, b=-6 and c=10. Then b^2=36.

Write out the solutions using the quadratic formula:

6 plus or minus sqrt(36-40)
x = ---------------------------------------
2

sqrt(36-40) = sqrt(-4) = plus or minus i2

Then:

6 plus or minus i2
x = --------------------------- (answer)

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\$

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

$= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y$

Note: You missed to add the dot plots chart. As I found the chart after a little research. Thus, I am attaching it and based on that dot plot chart I am solving the question which anyways would clear you concept.

Answer:

'There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School' is the correct statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is clear that

The data set containing Poplar Middle School:

20 20 20 21 21 21 21 21 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 23 23 23 23 24

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

$\mu = 435/20$
