Answer:
y= ab if a≠b
Step-by-step explanation:
y/a −b= y/b −a
multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions
ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)
distribute
ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a
b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b
subtract ay on each side
by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b
by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b
add ab^2 to each side
by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b
by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b
factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right
y (b-a) = ab(b-a)
divide by (b-a)
y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a) b-a ≠0 or b≠a
y = ab
Answer:
80 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the formula for squares is s^2, we can use this to set up an equation, which is
s^2=400
If we square root this, we get
s=20
The perimeter formula for a square is 4s, so if we plug in, we end up with 80 yd^2
Answer:
208 ⅓ ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
1⅞ = 15/8 inches ÷ 12
= 5/32 feet on map
Actual = 5/32 × 80
= 25/2 feet
2½ = 5/2 inches ÷ 12
= 5/24 feet on map
Actual = 5/24 × 80 = 50/3
Actual area:
25/2 × 50/3
= 625/3 ft²
= 208 ⅓ ft²
I haven't done this kind of work in a bit, but I believe it's 8.
Let's start with what we know:
Smaller canvas:
Length (

) = 3ft
Width (

) = 5ft
Larger canvas:
Length (

) = ?
Width (

) = 10ft
Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

So let's plug it all in from above:

Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:


Now divide each side by 5 to isolate


The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

So the length of the larger canvas is
6 ft
