Lindsie is painting on a canvas with dimensions of 3 ft by 4 ft. She wants to make a display model for a gallery that has twice

the area of the original. How much should she increase the length and width by, if she wants to increase them by the same amount? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

B. 1.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the amount of increase be 'x' ft.

Since, the length and width of the canvas are 4 ft and 3 ft respectively.

Thus, area of the canvas, A_{c} = length × breadth = 4 × 3 = 12 ft²

Since, the area of display model is twice the area of the canvas. We have,

A_{d} = 2 × A_{c}

i.e. A_{d} = 2 × 12

i.e. A_{d} = 24 ft².

As, the length and width of the canvas are increased  by 'x'.

The, length and width of the display model are (x+4) ft and (x+3) ft.

So, we get,

A_{c} = length × breadth = (x+4) × (x+3) = x^{2} +7x+12

Since, A_{d} = 24 ft²

i.e.  x^{2} +7x+12 = 24

i.e.  x^{2} +7x-12=0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get,

i.e. x = -8.4 and x= 1.4

Since, the value of x cannot be negative.

Thus, x = 1.4 feet.

Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using a translation and a rotation about point A?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

<u>Figure A</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure which represents the given options

We are to select the correct pair of triangles that can be mapped to each other using a translation and a rotation about point A.

As shown: point A will map to point L, point R will map to point P and point Q will map to point K.

we will check the options:

<u>Figure A</u>: the triangle ARQ and LPK can be mapped to each other using a translation and a rotation about point A.

<u>Figure B: </u> the triangle ARQ and LPK can be mapped to each other using a translation and a reflection about the line RA.

<u>Figure C:</u> the triangle ARQ and LPK can be mapped to each other using a translation and a reflection about the line QA.

<u>Figure D:</u> the triangle ARQ and LPK can be mapped to each other using a rotation about point A.

So, the answer is figure A

<u>The triangle pairs of figure A can be mapped to each other using a translation and a rotation about point A.</u>
