Answer:

54 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the rectangle ABCD is 8 feet and the area of the same rectangle is 96 square feet.

Hence, the length of the rectangle is (96 ÷ 8) = 12 feet.

Now, if the rectangle ABCD is dilated to rectangle A'B'C'D', then the length and the width of the new rectangle will be changed in the same ratio.

So, \frac{AB}{A'B'} = \frac{BC}{B'C'}  {Where AB is the length and BC is the width}

⇒ \frac{12}{A'B'} = \frac{8}{6}

⇒ A'B' = 9 feet

Therefore, the area of the dilated rectangle A'B'C'D' will be A'B' × B'C' = 9 × 6 = 54 square feet. (Answer)

An equation is shown below:
IrinaK [193]
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
               -15      -15     subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
  ÷5             ÷5             divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
     +8    +8                   add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2  ÷2                          divide both sides by 3
x = 1

Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15             Correct! x=1

Find the percent of change: 100 acres to 140 acres
nydimaria [60]

Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation: First determine whether the number increases or decreases. Since the number changes from 100 to 140 it's getting bigger, so it increases.

To find the percent increase, we use the following formula.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers which is 40 and we get this by subtracting 100 from 140. The original number will be the number that we started with which is 100.

140/100 simplifies to 0<em>.</em>4.

Finally, we want the percent increase so we write 0<em>.</em>4 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 40%.

Therefore, the percent increase is 40%.
