Answer: the missing measure on the big rectangle is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the small rectangle was enlarged to create the big rectangle, it means that they are similar. This also means that the dimensions of the larger rectangle different form the dimensions of the smaller rectangle by a constant ratio or factor.

The smaller rectangle has a length of 12 feet and width of 2 feet. The larger rectangle has a length of x feet and width of 5 feet. This means that

x/12 = 5/2

Cross multiplying, it becomes

2x = 12 × 5 = 60

x = 60/2 = 30

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.

$\frac{12}{3} \neq \frac{15}{6} \neq \frac{18}{8} \neq \frac{20}{10}$
