Jamal is making two paintings using canvases that are similar rectangles. The length of the smaller canvas is 3 ft and the width

Alex787 [66]

Let's start with what we know:

Smaller canvas:
Length ( $L_{1}$ ) = 3ft
Width ( $W_{1}$ ) = 5ft

Larger canvas:
Length ( $L_{2}$ ) = ?
Width ( $W_{2}$ ) = 10ft

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

$\frac{ L_{1} }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ W_{1} }{ W_{2} }$
So let's plug it all in from above:

$\frac{ 3 }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ 5 }{ 10 }$
Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:

$(3)(10) = (5)(L_{2})$
$30 = 5L_{2}$
Now divide each side by 5 to isolate $L_{2}$

$\frac{30}{5} = \frac{ 5L_{2}}{5}$
The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

$6 = L_{2}$

So the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft

Write the equation of a circle with a center at (12, 6) and a radius of 6.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(x-12)² + (y-6)² = 36 (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

use circle formula

(x-h)² + (y-k)²= r²

h= 12 and k= 6 and r= 6

(x-12)² + (y-6)² = 6²
