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

200 = 16(6t - 13)<br><br> t = ? <br> Help!
Marrrta [24]

Step 1. Divide both side by 16

100/16 = 6t - 13

Step 2. Dimplify 200/16 to 25/2

25/2 = 6t - 13

Step 3. Add 13 to both sides

25/2 + 13 = 6t

Step 4. Simplify 25/2 + 13 to 51/2

51/2 = 6t

Step 5. Divide both sides by 6

51/2/6 = t

Step 6. Simplify 51/2/6 to 51/2 * 6

51/2 * 6 = t

Step 7. Simplify 2 * 6 to 12

51/12 = t

Step 8. Simplify 51/12 to 17/4

17/4 = t

Step 9. Switch sides

t = 17/4

Given log3 2=0.631 log3 7=1.771 what is log3 14?
Leni [432]
In logarithm, inverse operations are applied.
log_3{14} =  log_3{7} +   log_3{14} \\ log_3{14} = 0.631 + 1.771 \\log_3{14} = 2.402
