A square is transformed into a rectangle by increasing the length by 8m and the width by 5m. If the area of the resulting rectan

gle is 108m^2, algebraically determine the length of each side of the original square.

The length of each side of the original square is 4 m

<h3>How to calculate the area of a square?</h3>

A square each side x is transformed into a rectangle by increasing the length by 8 m. Thus, new length = x + 8

The new width increases by 5 m will be;

New width = x + 5

If the area of the resulting rectangle is 108 m², then we have;

(x + 5)(x + 8) = 108

x² + 13x + 40 = 108

x² + 13x - 68 = 0

x² + 17x - 4x - 68 = 0

x(x + 17) - 4(x + 17) = 0

(x + 17)(x - 4) = 0

x = 4 or -17

ignore negative

So side of square = 4 m

Rectangle STUV is shown on a coordinate plane. Rectangle STUV with vertices S at negative 7 comma 6, T at negative 2 comma 6, U
rusak2 [61]

The coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)

<h3>How to carry out Translation Transformations?</h3>

We are given the coordinates of the rectangle STUV as;

S(-7, 6)

T(-2, 6)

U(-2, 1)

V(-7, 1)

Now, we are told that all these coordinates are translated using the transformation rule;  (x, y) → (x − 2, y − 4)

Thus, the new coordinates using this transformation rule are;

S'(-9, 2)

T'(-4, 2)

U'(-4, -3)

V'(-9, -3)

Now, we are told that these new points are  rotated 90° counterclockwise and as such the new coordinates formed will follow the pattern (x, y) → (-y, x).

Thus, our final coordinates are;

S''(-2, -9)

T''(-2, -4)

U''(3, -4)

V''(3, -9)

Thus, the coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)

Empirical generalization is known as reasoning from a large example to a basic conclusion based on a sample. a. True b. False
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:True

Step-by-step explanation:Empirical generalisation is the relationship between two variables that has been observed over a long period of time, science tries to show the interactions taking place between empirical Generalisation and theory,empirical Generalizations can also be seen as a pattern that repeats over different circumstances. Empirical Generalizations can also be said to be a reasoning from large example to basic conclusions which can be represented mathematically graphically or symbolically.

Complete the inequality statement <br><br> 7/10 ___ 11/20 <br><br> &gt; &lt; =
densk [106]
To start, give each fraction a common denominator by multiplying the 7/10 by two to get 14/20, an equivalent but not simplified fraction. now compare 14/20 and 11/20. 14/20 is greater than 11/20, so 7/10 > 11/20.
