Answer: Option 'a' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Dimensions of the room is given by
15 ft by 25 ft
Let x be the width around the rug.
So, new length = 15-2x
new breadth = 25-2x
Since Area of the rug = 264 sq. ft
So, it becomes,

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.
we are given
The water level in Ricky lake changes at an average of -7/48 inch for 1 year
It means that
In 1 year , the water level changes at 
and we have to find the water level change after 5 years
so, we can multiply both sides by 5
In 5*1 year , the water level changes at 
In 5 years , the water level changes at 
Hence,
the water level change after 5 years is

Similar polygons vary directly with each other. They have the same scale.
Something I notice about the polygons is that both of the sides are decreased by 10.
40-30= 10 and 28-18=10
Try to find the scale.
40/28= 1.42857....
30/18= 1.666666777
I would say these are not similar polygons. They do not share the same scale.
I hope this helps!

Divide both sides by their LCD, 2
2/4 = 1/2
1/2 is irreducible
