Tristan is working on dilating rectangles. Rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3. The resulting rectangle WXYZ has an area

of 72 cm². Tristan found that the area of rectangle ABCD must be 8 cm². Is he correct? No, because he needs to divide the area of rectangle WXYZ by 3. No, because he needs to multiply the area of rectangle WXYZ by 3. Yes, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. Yes, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then multiply each dimension by 3.

Answer:

Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3 to get the rectangle WXYZ whose area is found to be 72 cm².

Let the dimensions of the dilated rectangle WXYZ are a cm by b cm.

So, ab = 72 ........... (1)

Now, the dimensions of the original rectangle are 3 times lesser than the dimensions of rectangle WXYZ.

So, the area of rectangle ABCD will be (\frac{a}{3} \times \frac{b}{3}) = \frac{ab}{9} = \frac{72}{9} = 8 cm² {from equation (1)}

Therefore, Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. (Answer)

The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70 pi sq. In. Find the length in altitude
aev [14]
We are to solve for the value of the altitude of the given cylinder which has a radius of 5 feet and a lateral area of 70pi ft². To solve this we should recall that the formula in solving the lateral area of a cylinder is Lateral Area = 2pi*r*h. The solution is shown below:
r is equal to 5 ft
lateral area = 70pi
Solving for h, we have:
70pi = 2pi*5*h
70pi / 2pi = 5h
35 = 5h
divide both sides by 5, we have:
35/5 = 5h/5
7 = h

The answer for the length of the altitude is 7 feet.

Under 45 mins is roughly 16%. This is because 68% of the curve exists within 1 SD of the mean. So 16% must be outside and smaller and 16% outside and larger (on average).
