A square is changed into a new rectangle by increasing its width by 2 inches and decreasing its length by 2

Answer: The area of the square is 64 square inches and the area of the new rectangle is 60 square inches. The square's area is 4 inches larger than the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation: If a side length of the square measures 8 inches, then its area can be calculated as follows;

Area = L x W

The length and the width both measure 8 inches (all sides of a square are equal in length).

Area = 8 x 8

Area = 64

Also, the the new rectangle is formed by increasing the width of the square by 2 inches (that is 8 + 2 = 10), and decreasing the length by 2 inches (that is 8 - 2 = 6). The area of the new rectangle is calculated as follows;

Area = L x W

Area = 10 x 6

Area = 60

Therefore the area of the square is 64 square inches and the area of the rectangle is 60 square inches. The area of the square is 4 inches larger than that of the rectangle.

If it is 20%, that means that it is 1/5 of the actual number, so just multiply by 5 to reverse this.  360*5=1800.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

Help two helpless triangles?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ACE = DCE since they are vertical angles

Angle A = Angle E parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

Angle B = Angle D parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

When all three angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

We can use ratios to find DE

DE         CE  

------- = ----------

AB           AC

DE         8

------- = ----------

12           10

Using cross products

10 DE = 8*12

10 DE = 96

Divide by 10

DE = 9.6
