Step-by-step explanation: Given that the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2 : 3.

We are to find the ratio of the area of R to the area of S.

Let 2x, 3x be the sides of rectangle R and y be the side of square S.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\textup{Perimeter of rectangle R}=\textup{Perimeter of square S}\\\\\Rightarrow2(2x+3x)=2(y+y)\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=2y\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{5}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Therefore, the ratio of the area of R to the area of S is

$\dfrac{2x\times3x}{y\times y}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5x^2}{y^2}\\\\\\=6\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^2\\\\\\=6\times\left(\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Using equation (i)}]\\\\\\=\dfrac{24}{25}\\\\=24:25.$

Thus, the required ratio of the area of R to the area of S is 24 : 25.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

A rectangle has area x3 + 3x2 - 18x in.2 and width x + 6 in. What is the length in inches?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

HOPE THIS HELPS

Step-by-step explanation:

The area = length * Width.

We know the width = X+6 inches and Area = x^3+3x^2–18x.

This problem can be solved just by dividing the area by width and we get a quotient as X^2–3x.

So the length is x^2–3x inches.

99. What is the greatest prime factor of 5,355? A. 17 B. 51 C. 119 D. 131 E. 153

NemiM [27]

Hello,

5355 is divisble by 3 since 5+3+5+5=18 is divisible by 3
5355=3*1785
1785 is divisble by 3 since 1+7+8+5=21 is divisible by 3
1785=3*595
595 is not divisible by 3 but by 5
595=5*119
119 is divisible by 7 since 1*2+1*3+9*1=14 is divisible by 7.
119=7*17

17 is prime
