Answer:

65 dm and 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor of the sides is k, then the scale factor of the areas is k^2.

The scale factor of the areas is (32 dm^2)/(50 dm^2) = 0.64 = k^2

The scale factor of the sides is k = \sqrt(0.64) = 0.8

The perimeters are in a ratio of 1:0.8

x + 0.8x = 117

1.8x = 117

x = 65

0.8x = 0.8(65) = 52

The perimeters are 65 dm and 52 dm.

1) Solve the following system of equations algebraically. Give your solution as two
Bad White [126]

For this case we have the following system of equations:

y = x ^ 2 + 7x + 12\\y = 2x + 8

Equating both equations we have:

x ^ 2 + 7x + 12 = 2x + 8\\x ^ 2 + 7x-2x + 12-8 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 5x + 4 = 0

We must find the solutions, for this we factor. We look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 4 and when added, result in 5. These numbers are 4 and 1:

4 + 1 = 5\\4 * 1 = 4

Then, the factorized equation is of the form:

(x + 4) (x + 1) = 0

Thus, the solutions are:

x_ {1} = - 4\\x_ {2} = - 1

We look for solutions for the variable "y":

y_ {1} = 2 (-4) + 8 = -8 + 8 = 0\\y_ {2} = 2 (-1) + 8 = -2 + 8 = 6

Thus, the system solutions are given by:(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 4,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 1,6)

ANswer:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 4,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 1,6)
