Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the original rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the original rectangle.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm. This means that

2(L + W) = 30

Dividing through by 2,

L + W = 15

The area would be LW

If one of its sides is decreased by 3 cm and the other side is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle will decrease by 8 cm2. This means that

(L - 3)(W + 5) = LW - 8

LW + 5L - 3W - 15 = LW - 8

LW - LW + 5L - 3W = - 8 + 15

5L - 3W = 7 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 15 - W into equation 1, it becomes

5(15 - W) - 3W = 7

75 - 5W - 3W = 7

- 5W - 3W = 7 - 75

- 8W = - 68

W = - 68/- 8 = 8.5

L = 15 - W = 15 - 8.5

L = 6.5

The area of the original rectangle is

6.5 × 8.5 = 55.25 cm²

How do you do it?I'm lost
Leto [7]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The way you complete this is by taking each points x and y and applying the translation. In this case the translation is x-7 and y+1.

Q's x and y are 1 , 1

R's x and y are 1 , 5

T's x and y are 5 , 1

S's x and y are 5 , 5

Now what you do is use the translation on all of these values.

Q's x and y turns into -6 , 2 (subtracted 7 to the 1 and added 1 to the 1)

R's x and y turns into -6 , 6

T's x and y are -2 , 2

S's x and y are -2 , 6

You can then plot the points on the graph and connect the lines to complete the reflection.

Hope this helps ! !

What is the value of H
never [62]

Answer:

h = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

the 2 unknown interior angles = 180 - 2h ( straight angle ), hence

the sum of the 3 angles

180- 2h + 180 - 2h + 40 = 180

400 - 4h = 180 ( subtract 400 from both sides )

- 4h = - 220 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

h = 55

Can you help please?
harkovskaia [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N
