5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400
Answer:
180 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A rug that is geometrically similar to her room floor is one that has the same size as her room floor.
The floor has dimensions 12 feet by 15 feet.
The area of the floor and hence, the rug is:
A = 12 * 15 = 180 square feet
She should buy a rug that is 180 square feet
Answer:
Their solutions are related because they both are |9| (the absolute value of 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
No. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.
If you know the area, you only know the <em><u>product</u></em> of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.
In fact, you can draw an infinite number of <em><u>different</u></em> rectangles
that all have the <em>same</em> area but <em><u>different</u></em> perimeters.
Here. Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256. What is its perimeter ?
-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02
