The length of the second rectangle is 30cm

<h3>When are two rectangles said to be similar?</h3>

Two rectangles are similar when the corresponding adjacent sides have the same ratio. We do not need to check the angles as all angles in a rectangle are 90 degrees.

all rectangles are not similar rectangles. The ratio of the corresponding adjacent sides may be different.

length the length and width of first rectangle be L1 and W1 and length and width of second rectangle be L2 and W2

then the ratio of length should be equal to ratio of width since both rectangles are similar

L1/L2 = W1/W2

L1 = 21cm, W1 = 14cm, W2 = 20cm

21/L2 = 14/20

cross multiply

14L2 = 420

L2 = 420/14

L2 = 30cm

In conclusion the length of second rectangle is 30cm

1. Solve: 6x - 12 &lt; 6<br> 2. Solve: 2(3x-8) &gt;8
8090 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. here you go mate

step 1

6x - 12 < 6  equation

step 2

6x - 12 < 6  simplify

6x-12+12<6+12

step 3

6x<18  Divide both sides

\frac{6x}{6}

answer

x<3

2. Here you go mate

step 1

2(3x-8) >8  equation

step 2

2(3x-8) >8  simplify

6x-16+16>8+16

step 3

6x>24  divide both sides

\frac{6x}{6} >\frac{24}{6}

answer

x>4

A line has an y-intercept of 4 and a x-intercept of 1. Use this information to write a function in slope intercept form (y = mx
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:  D.  y = -4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the y-intercept is when x is zero and the x intercept is when y is 0.

and to write in the equation in slope intercept form , you will need the slope and the intercept.

We will use the y and x intercepts to find the slope, by find the difference in their y coordinates and dividing it by the difference in their x coordinates.

y intercept: ( 0,4)  

x intercept: (1,0)

y coordinates difference:  4 - 0 = 4

x coordinates difference:  0 - 1 = - 1  

Slope:  4/-1 =  -4  

Since the slope is -4 and the the y intercept is 4 , the equation will be

 y = -4x + 4

PLEASE ANSWER ALL
mars1129 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry: is the line that makes the parabola split in exactly half and lines up with the vertex. For that parabola x=1 is the line of symetry.

The vertex is where the minimum of the graph is, on this graph you can eyeball it to be (1,-9)

The x-intercept is where y is 0 so that's where the lines intersex with the x-axis. (-2,0) and (4,0)

The y-intercept of the function is where x is 0 and where the parabola intersects with the y-axis. On this graph it would be (0,-8)

Hope that helps :)
