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

Natalka [10]

u( t - 2s)

double s is expressed as 2s

subtract this result from t gives t - 2s

multiply this result by u gives u × (t - 2s) = u( t - 2s)
