How does doubling the side length of a rectangle affect its area

Mathematics
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago

Doubling the side-lengths will multiply the area by four.

Proof:
Let the side-lengths of the rectangle by x and y.  Clearly, the area will be x*y=xy.  The new rectangle will have side-lengths 2x and 2y, and thus area 2x*2y=4xy.  4xy/xy=4 - hence, the new rectangle has four times the area of the old one.

Zack, Rachel, and Maddie are unraveling a huge ball of yarn to see how long it is. As they move away from each other, they form
Korolek [52]
We are tasked to solve the three angles given that we have the measurements of the sides such as
a = Zack to Rachel distance
b = Rachel to Maddie distance
c = Maddie to Zack distance

a =3
b =2.5
c =4

Solving the angles we need to use Law of Cosines:
cos A = 2.5² + 4² -3² /2*2.5*4
A = 48.59°

cos B=3² + 4² - 2.5² / 2*3*4
B = 38.625°

C=180 - 48.59° - 38.625°
C= 92.79°

The three angles are 48.59°,38.63° and 92.79°.
