Originally we have
length = x
width = x-2
since the width is 2 inches smaller than the length
now let's triple each dimension. Multiply the expressions by 3 to get
new length = 3*x
new width = 3*(x-2) = 3x-6
Now onto the area
area = (length)*(width)
area = (3x)*(3x-6)
area = 3x*3x-3x*6
area = 9x^2 - 18x
So the new larger rectangle has area of 9x^2-18x
The constant of proportionality is 600
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that a² + b² = c²
so, c = √(a² + b²)
10² + 24² = 676
√676 = 26
