Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s

w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.

One third plus one third

Two thirds.
1/3 +1/3 = 2/3.
You don’t add the denominator (bottom terms), you only add the numerators (the top terms)

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f⁻¹(x) = (1/2)x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

In y = f(x), swap the variables, then solve for y. The expression you get is f⁻¹(x).

... y = 2x -10

... x = 2y -10 . . . . . . swapped variables

... x +10 = 2y . . . . . add 10

... (1/2)x + 5 = y . . . . divide by 2

... f⁻¹(x) = (1/2)x + 5 . . . . . . rewrite using function notation

What is the exact area of the following circle?
pychu [463]

Answer:

56.25 pi  cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the circle,

we use the formula

A = pi r^2, where r is the radius

We know the diameter is 15 so we can find the  radius from

r = d/2  where d is the diameter

r = 15/2

A = pi ( 15/2) ^2

A = pi ( 225/4)

A = 56.25 pi  cm^2
