Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

Rectangle ABCD was dilated to create rectangle A'B'C'D.
77julia77 [94]

The first thing we must do for this case is to calculate the scale factor.

For this, we make the relationship between two parallel sides.

We have then:

k =\frac{B'C'}{BC}

Substituting values we have:

k = \frac{9.5}{3.8}\\k = 2.5

We are now looking for the value of AB

We have then:

AB = \frac{A'B'}{k}

Substituting values:

AB = \frac{15}{2.5}\\AB = 6

Answer:

The scale factor is:

k = 2.5

The value of AB is:

AB = 6
