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>

What is the value of v?
sammy [17]
Basically, this is saying that 80% of (x) = 2 so you have know what the whole would be. It would be 2.5 because 80% of 2.5 is 2. So because you are subtracting 7 from v to get 2.5, you have to add 2.5 to 7 to get v. V=9.5

suppose you have $11000 to invest. which of the two rates would yield the larger amount in 5 years: 6% compounded monthly or 5.8
umka21 [38]

Answer:

  6% monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly rate being compounded when the interest is 6% per year is ...

  6%/12 = 0.5%

so the multiplier each month is

  1 + 0.5% = 1.005

___

The monthly multiplier when 5.86% is compounded continuously is ...

  e^(5.86%/12) ≈ 1.004895

The 6% rate will give a larger yield after any length of time.
