Answer:

The area of the larger rectangle is 108\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor  squared

and the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x-----> the area of small rectangle

y-----> the area of larger rectangle

so

z^{2} =\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=2/6

x=12\ ft^{2}

substitute  and solve for y

(2/6)^{2} =\frac{12}{y}

y=12/(4/36)=108\ ft^{2}

Answer:

  • h = 2A/(B₁+B₂)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation</u>

  • A=1/2(B₁+B₂)h

<u>Solving for h</u>

  • A=1/2(B₁+B₂)h
  • 2A = (B₁+B₂)h
  • 2A/(B₁+B₂)= h
  • h = 2A/(B₁+B₂)

ella [17]

Answer:

Answer is y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

• Equation of parallel lines have the same slope. So first two equations are okay.

• For point (1, -1):

{ \rm{y = mx + c}} \\ { \rm{ - 1 = 2 + c}} \\ { \rm{c =  - 3}}

• Equation is y = 2x - 3
