We know that
area of rectangle=L*W/2
L  is the length side
W is the width side

smaller rectangle
area=160 cm²
W=8 cm
A=W*L-----> L=A/W
L=160/8----> 20 cm

larger rectangle
 Area=250 cm²

area larger rectangle/area smaller rectangle=[scale factor]²
so
scale factor²=250/160----> 1.5625
scale factor=√1.5625----> scale factor=1.25

the dimension larger rectangle=scale factor*dimension smaller rectangle

L (larger rectangle)=(1.25)*(20)---> 25 cm
W (larger rectangle)=(1.25)*8----> 10 cm

the answer is
<span>the dimensions of the larger rectangle are 10 cm x 25 cm</span>

If f(x)= 3x+1 is reflect across the y-axis; what would the slope &amp; y-intercept be? *
Elden [556K]

Answer: f(x) = -3x + 1

So the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it’s across the y-axis so the y-intercept doesn’t change. Because it’s a reflection the slope just becomes the opposite of what it originally was, so in this case it will be -3

How many numbers greater than 10 and smaller than 25 with distinct digits can we make by using two of the digits 2, 0, 1, and 8
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Only four numbers can be formed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to make numbers greater than 10 and less than 25

Distinct digits should be there

As such all numbers lying between 10 and 25 are

11,12,.....24

Of these the conditions are only 2, 0, 1 , 8 should be used.

First digit cannot be 0 or  8 because we want two digit numbers between 10 and 25

So first digit can be either 1 or 2

If first digit is 1, second digit can be either 2 or 8 i.e. only 12, 18

If first digit is 2, second digit can be 0 or 1 cannot be 8 i.e. only 20 , 21

Only 4 numbers can be formed

7t=x,for t .what is the formula
Andrei [34K]

The formula for t would be x/7.

In order to find this, we simply follow the order of operations to solve for t.

7t = x ----> Divide both sides by 7

t = x/7
