Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do it two different ways.

1st. Find the scale factor by dividing - 75/25=3 or 72/24=3

This means the scale factor is three

Then multiply the remaining side (7) by the scale factor (3) to get: 21

2nd. Use the Pythagorean Theorem - 75²-72²=x²

441 = x²

√441=x

x=21

The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 units. Can the length x of the rectangle can be 20 units when its width y is 11 units?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

B. No, the rectangle cannot have x = 20 and y = 11 because x + y ≠ 32

Perimeter = 2(l + w)
Perimeter = 64

Assuming: P = 64; w = 11 ; l = ?
64 = 2(l + 11)
64/2 = l + 11
32 - 11 = l
length = 21.

Express the ratio in the simplest form. 20 gallons to 0.75 gallons

expeople1 [14]

ANSWER

The ratio in the simplified form is

80:3

EXPLANATION

We want to express 20 gallons to 0.75 gallons as a ratio in its simplest form.

We obtain the ratio as follows:

$20:0.75$

This is the same as

$20: \frac{3}{4}$

We multiply each term in the ratio by 4 to obtain;

$20 \times 4:0.75 \times 4$

This gives us,

$80:3$
