Answer:

Length of original rectangle: 11 units.

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the original rectangle.  

We have been given that a rectangle has a length 6 more than it's width. S the length of the original rectangle would be x+6.

We have been given that when the width is decreased by 2 and the length decreased by 4 the resulting has an area of 21 square units.

The width of new rectangle would be x-2.

The length of new rectangle would be x+6-4=x+2.

The area of new rectangle would be (x+2)(x-2).

Now we will equate area of new rectangle with 21 and solve for x as:

(x+2)(x-2)=21

Applying difference of squares, we will get:

x^2-2^2=21

x^2-4=21

x^2-4+4=21+4

x^2=25

Since width cannot be negative, so we will take positive square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{25}

x=5

Therefore, the width of original rectangle is 5 units.

Length of the original rectangle would be x+6\Rightarrow x+5=11.

Therefore, the length of original rectangle is 11 units.

\text{Area of original rectangle}=5\times 11

\text{Area of original rectangle}=55    

Therefore, area of the original rectangle is 55 square units.

Now we will find ratio of the original rectangle area to the new rectangle area as:

\frac{\text{Area of original rectangle}}{\text{Area of new rectangle}}=\frac{55}{21}

We know that perimeter of rectangle is two times the sum of length and width.

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((x+2)+(x-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2((5+2)+(5-2))

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(7+3)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=2(10)

\text{Perimeter of new rectangle}=20

Therefore, the perimeter of the new rectangle is 20 units.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Terrance is incorect.

Correct output coordinates (-y,-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y) be the input coordinates.

First translation is a rotation of 180° clockwise about the origin. This translation has a rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)

Second translation is a reflection over the line y = x. The general rule for the reflection across the line y=x has the rule

(a,b)\rightarrow (b,a)

When a sequence of two translations are applied to the initial input coordinates, then

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)\rightarrow (-y,-x)

As you can see Terrance made a mistake and these two transformations do not cancel themselves out.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?

<u>Solution:</u>

First Swing:

24 m

Second Swing:

Half of first, so

24(1/2)

Third Swing:

Half of second, so:

24(1/2)(1/2)

Fourth Swing:

24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)

So we see the general formula as:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

<u>Note:</u> n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1

where n is the number of swings
