Answer:
Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x. therefore let x = length
Area = LW
192 = x(4 + 1/2 x)
192 = 4x + 1/2x²
384 = 8x + x² Multiply each term by 2 to make a
384 + 16 = x² + 8x + 16 Complete the square
400 = (x + 4)²

± 20 = x + 4
20 = x + 4 or -20 = x + 4
20 - 4 = x or -20 - 4 = x
16 = x or -24 = x reject the negative amount
Length = 16
width = 4 + 1/2(16); 4 + 8 = 12
Here, DH = HF
x+3 = 3y
x = 3y-3 ----(I)
GH = HE
4x-5 = 2y+3
4x = 2y+8
Substitute value of x,
4(3y-3) = 2y+8
12y-12 = 2y+8
12y-2y = 12+8
10y = 20
y = 2
Now, substitute it in equation 1,
x = 3(2)-3
x = 6-3 = 3
So, your final answer is x=3 & y=2
Answer:
36 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
rectangle with area of 12 square units is dilated by a scale factor of 3. What is the area?
Scale factor = Dimension of the new shape ÷ Dimension of the original shape.
we use the inverse formula
12 * 3 =<em> </em>
<em>36 units²</em>
<em>-----------------------</em>
check
36 : 12 = 3
the answer is good
