Answer: The area of rectangle WXYZ is 18 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: Since both rectangles are similar, then lines AD and BC has a common ratio with lines WZ and XY. If line line AD is 10 inches, and line XY is 5 inches, then the ratio of similarity is given as

Ratio = 10/5

Ratio = 2/1 (or 2:1)

However rectangle ABCD has its area as 70 square inches, which means the other side is given as

Area = L x W

70 = 10 x W

70/10 = W

7 = W

Therefore the width of the other rectangle is determined as,

10/5 = 7/W

10W = 5 x 7

10W = 35

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

W = 3.5

Having calculated the width of the other rectangle as 3.5, the area is now determined as

Area = L x W

Area = 5 x 3

Area = 17.5

Rounded off to the nearest integer, the area equals 18 square inches

Find an equation of the plane that contains the points p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0)p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0).
topjm [15]
Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)

We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>

The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr.  This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
  i   j   k
-4 -2 -4
-3  5  1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>

Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>

The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).

The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π :  9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π  :  9x+8y-13z=24

Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.

0.45m-9=0.9m, what is the least power of ten you could multiply by to write an equivalent equation with integer coefficients?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

m = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

9

Simplify ——

10

Equation at the end of step 1 :

45 9

((——— • m) - 9) - (—— • m) = 0

100 10

Step 2 :

9

Simplify ——

20

Equation at the end of step 2 :

9 9m

((—— • m) - 9) - —— = 0

20 10

Step 3 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 20 as the denominator :

9 9 • 20

9 = — = ——————

1 20

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

9m - (9 • 20) 9m - 180

————————————— = ————————

20 20

Equation at the end of step 3 :

(9m - 180) 9m

—————————— - —— = 0

20 10

Step 4 :

Step 5 :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1 Pull out like factors :

9m - 180 = 9 • (m - 20)

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

5.2 Find the Least Common Multiple

The left denominator is : 20

The right denominator is : 10

Number of times each prime factor

appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor Left

Denominator Right

Denominator L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

2 2 1 2

5 1 1 1

Product of all

Prime Factors 20 10 20

Least Common Multiple:

20

Calculating Multipliers :

5.3 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M

Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M

Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M

Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno

Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno

Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2

Making Equivalent Fractions :

5.4 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

L. Mult. • L. Num. 9 • (m-20)

—————————————————— = ——————————

L.C.M 20

R. Mult. • R. Num. 9m • 2

—————————————————— = ——————

L.C.M 20

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.5 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

9 • (m-20) - (9m • 2) -9m - 180

————————————————————— = —————————

20 20

Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

-9m - 180 = -9 • (m + 20)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

-9 • (m + 20)

————————————— = 0

20

Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

-9•(m+20)

————————— • 20 = 0 • 20

20

Now, on the left hand side, the 20 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

-9 • (m+20) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : -9 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

7.3 Solve : m+20 = 0

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation :

m = -20

One solution was found :

m = -20
