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

Mathematics
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
7 0
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.

Prove that the sum of the squares of any two odd numbers is always even
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a number is even if it is expressed so n = 2k. It is odd if it is in the form 2k + 1 (k is just an integer)

Let's say we have to odd numbers, 2a + 1, and 2b + 1. We are after the sum of their squares, so we have (2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2. Now let's expand this;

(2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2 = 4a^2 + 4a + 4b + 4b^2 + 4b + 2

= 2(2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1)

Now the sum in the parenthesis, 2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1, is just another integer, which we can pose as k. Remember that 2 times any random integer, either odd or even, is always even. Therefore the sum of the squares of any two odd numbers is always even.
