The original is 5cm, the reduced is 2.5cm
2.5/5 = 0.5 = 1/2
Area is a square measurement, so the area of the reduced image would be the scale squared, which would be 1/2^2 which = 1/4
The answer is:
The area of the reduced design is 1/4 of the area of the original.
Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equations: x is the amount of hours Amber worked and y is the hours Jake worked
8x + 8y = 120
y = 3 + x
Substitute the second equation into the first
8x + 8(3+x) = 120
Distribute
8x + 24 + 8x = 120
Combine like-terms
16x + 24 = 120
Subtract 24 on both sides
16x = 96
Divide 16 on both sides
x = 6 (hours Amber worked)
Plug in this x-value into on of the two equations. I will use the second
y = 3 + 6
y = 9
Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>
The 2 angles are complemantary or form right angles so

so

. Plugging that into BDC we get 11
