6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3

Hi there.

So, we've got the dimensions. 

<em>l</em> = 12, <em /><em>w</em> = 8

We know that the width has been divided by 4. That means we also divide the length by 4. This gives us the new dimensions of:

<em>l</em> = 3, <em>w</em> = 2

A = <em>lw</em> 

3 · 2 = 6 ft²

Cheers~

Nataliya [291]
First, i put the equation in y=mx+b by dividing 2, since its 2y. since it’s perpendicular we’re talking about you switch the sides (opposite reciprocals). the rest should be self explanatory.

What is the distance between the points (-4,-8) and (10,-8)?
ioda

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Input Data :

Point 1  ( x A , y A )  = (-4, -8)

Point 2  ( x B , y B )  = (10, -8)

Objective :

Find the distance between two given points on a line?

Formula :

Distance between two points =  √ (x B − x A ) 2 + ( y B − y A ) 2

Solution :

Distance between two points =  √ ( 10 −  − 4 ) 2 + ( − 8 −  − 8 ) 2

=  √ 14 ^2 + 0 ^2

=  √ 196 + 0

=  √ 196 = 14

Distance between points (-4, -8) and (10, -8) is 14

If y varies inversely as x and y=16 when x=4, find y when x=3
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

21.33 to nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse Variation is y = k / x where k is a constant.

Plug in the given values to find k:-

16 = k/4

k = 4*16 = 64 so the equation  of variation is y = 64/x.

So when x = 3,   y = 64/3 = = 21.33 to nearest hundredth.
