The length of the DEFG rectangle
is 6/4 of the length of the ABCD rectangle.
6/4=3/2 = 1,5
How many times greater than the surface of ABCD is the DEFG area?
1,5 times
Answer:
The answer is 6 because 3(6) = 18, which can be written as 3 x 6 = 18
Answer:
<h2><em><u>
A to C = 25
</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
A to B = 13
</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
C to B = 37
</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>
</u></em></h2>
Step-by-Step Explanation:
<em><u>Perimeter</u></em> = 75
<em><u>Sides:</u></em>
2x + 3
3x + 4
2x - 9
<h2 /><h2><em><u>
1. Equal the sides added together to the perimeter</u></em></h2>
75 = 2x + 3 + 3x + 4 + 2x - 9
<h2><em><u>
2. Simplify Like terms</u></em></h2>
2x + 3 + 3x + 4 + 2x - 9 = 7x - 2
<h2><em><u>
3. Place the equation back together</u></em></h2>
75 = 7x - 2
<h2><em><u>
4. Isolate the variables and numbers</u></em></h2>
75 = 7x - 2
+2 +2
77 = 7x
<h2><em><u>
5. Simplify the equation</u></em></h2>
77 = 7x
/7 /7
<h2><em><u>
11 = x
</u></em></h2>
<h2><em><u>
6. Substitute the value of x into the side lengths.</u></em></h2>
2x + 3 = 2(11) + 3 = 22 + 3 = <em><u>25</u></em>
3x + 4 = 3(11) + 4 = 33 + 4 = <em><u>37</u></em>
2x - 9 = 2(11) - 9 = 22 - 9 = <em><u>13</u></em>

Answer: 40</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
The old dimensions of the rectangle were 30 by 15.
The new dimensions are 30+x by 15+x, where x is some positive number.
The new rectangle dimensions multiply to 1000
(30+x)(15+x) = 1000
Use the FOIL rule to expand out the left side like so
(30+x)(15+x) = 1000
450+30x+15x+x^2 = 1000
450+45x+x^2 = 1000
x^2+45x+450
Then lets get everything to one side
x^2+45x+450 = 1000
x^2+45x+450-1000 = 0
x^2+45x-550 = 0
---------------------
From here we use the quadratic formula
Plug in a = 1, b = 45, and c = -550.


Earlier we defined x to be a positive number. This means we ignore x = -55. It makes no sense to add on a negative amount to each dimension.
The only practical answer is x = 10.
So each dimension is increased by 10 feet.
--------------------------
If x = 10, then the old dimensions of 30 by 15 bump up to 30+10 = 40 by 15+10 = 25
Then note how 40*25 = 1000, which helps confirm we have the correct dimensions.
--------------------------
Now go back to the question at hand: we want to find the new width. The old width was 30 feet. The new width is 30+x = 30+10 = 40 feet
