For this problem, it can be solved by forming two equations. The first equation is the area of the original rectangle. Let l be the length and w be the width. l x w = 72 will be 1st equation. Then, the 2nd equation is 3.5l * 3.5w = A. By substitution, the new area, A = 12.25( l x w) = 12.25 (72) = 882 in<span>².</span>

In the graph shown, suppose that f(x) = 3.5x and h(x) = 1.5x. Choose the statement that COULD be true.

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

Now these are exponential curves and the bases for the functions are 3.5 & 1.5

Also the graph of g(x) is between f(x) & h(x)

Hence the value of base called the scale factor must be between 3.5 & 1.5.

4 & 5 are more than 3.5

0.9 is smaller than 1.5

But π = 3.14 lies between 3.5 & 1.5.

Hence the only option which can represent the graph of g(x) is

Option D) is the right answer

In triangle ABC, angle A is 75o and angle B is 20o. Select the triangle that is similar to triangle ABC.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. $\triangle$ DEF where $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we must keep in mind that two triangles are similar when they have same angle configuration, that is, each pair of angles is congruent. If $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ DEF, then $\angle A \equiv \angle D$ and $\angle B \equiv \angle E$ . Hence, $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .
