Answer:

The width of the building is 50 lamps and 60 lamps will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is computed by the sum of the sides of the building, since the length and width are equal on the oposite sides of the building, the perimeter is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

900 = 2*(400) + 2*width

2*width + 800 = 900

2*width = 900 - 800

2*width = 100

width = 100/2 = 50 feets

To know how many lights bulbs will be needed we need to take the perimeter of the building and divide it by the space between the lamps. We have:

number o lamps = 900/15 = 60 lamps

Answer:

The width is 50 feet.

60 lights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2*L + 2*W,

where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the width.

Using this formula, we have that:

900 = 2*400 + 2*W

2*W = 100 -> W = 50 feet

If we use one light for every 15 feet around the building, we can find the total number of lights using rule of three:

15 feet -> 1 light

900 feet -> X lights

15/900 = 1/X

X = 900/15 = 60 lights

Rectangle PQRS is rotated 90 counterclockwise about the origin what are the coordinates of point Q
inna [77]
You have not provided the diagram/coordinates for point Q, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I can help you with the concept.

When rotating a point 90° counter clock-wise, the following happens:
coordinates of the original point: (x,y)
coordinates of the image point: (-y,x)

Examples:
point (2,5) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-5,2)

point (1,9) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-9,1)

point (7,4) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-4,7)

Therefore, for the given point Q, all you have to do to get the coordinates of the image is apply the transformation:
(x,y) .............> are changed into.............> (-y,x)

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The best way to show and explain direct proportional relationships is by graphing two sets of related quantities. If the relation is proportional, the graph will form a straight line that passes through the origin.
