Answer:

The area of the rectangle is increased in 76 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle (A) is represented by the following formula:

A = w\cdot l

Where:

w - Width.

l - Length.

If length is increased by 120 %and width is decreased by 20 %, the percentage change in the area of the rectangle is: (l = 2.2\cdot l_{o}, w = 0.8\cdot w_{o})

A = (2.2\cdot l_{o})\cdot (0.8\cdot w_{o})

A = (2.2)\cdot (0.8)\cdot w_{o}\cdot l_{o}

A = 1.76\cdot A_{o}

The area of the rectangle is increased in 76 percent.

Please I need help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix is a vertical line, so the parabola is horizontal. The focus lies to the left of the directrix, so the parabola opens to the left.

For a left-opening parabola:

x = a(y-k)²+h,

a < 0,

vertex (h,k)

focal length p = 1/|4a|

focus (h-p, k)

directrix: x=h+p

Apply your data

focus (1,-4)

directrix x=2

vertex (1.5,-4).

focal length p = 0.5

a = -1/|4p| = -½

x = -½(y-2)²+ ½

Step-by-step explanation:

How we find circumference by using diameter is divide the diameter by pi

SO 9 divide by pi equals 2.86478897565 or 3 (if rounded to the nearest whole number)

Two sides of a right triangle have the lengths 4 and 5. What is the product of the possible lengths of the third side? Express t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st Case:</u>

4 and 5 are legs of the right triangle.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+5^2=x^2

16+25=x^2

41=x^2

x=√41

√41 is about 6.4

x=6.4

<u>2nd Case</u>

5 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and 4 is the legs.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+x^2=5^2

16+x^2=25

x^2=9

x=3

<u>Final Step</u>

We need to multiply the two possible lengths for x. So for case 1 the length of x was 6.4 and for case two the length was 3. 6.4*3=19.2

Anwser: <u>19.2</u>
