Answer:

30 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the main area of the rectangle to determine the changes.

We know, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given,

Length = 12 feet

Width = 5 feet

Therefore, the area of the rectangle = (12 × 5) Square feet.

The area of the rectangle = 60 square feet.

Now, if the length of the rectangle increased by 25%, the new length would be = 12 feet (12 feet × 25%) = 12 feet + 3 feet = 15 feet.

If the width increased by 20%, the latest width would be = 5 feet + (5 feet × 20%) = 5 feet + 1 foot = 6 feet.

The new area of that rectangle = (15 × 6) square feet = 90 square feet.

The changes of area from the previous rectangle is = (90 - 60) square feet = 30 square feet.

Help for both a and b
kipiarov [429]

Hi!

Remember that an x-intercept is a point in which the line touches the x-axis (the horizontal line). And, the y-intercept is a point in which the line touches the y-axis (the vertical/up and down line)

-----------------

For A)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,1)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (3,0)

For B)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,0)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (0,0) !

*both the x and y axis meet at the origin. So, a line that goes through the origin (0,0) is intersecting with BOTH the x and y-axis.

Hope I helped! Comment if you have any questions or concerns.

Attendance at the big game was only 80% of last years attendance, but that still means 12,000 people showed up. how many people
astraxan [27]
12000*100/80=15000 coz 12000 is 80% that's why you divide by 80 and multiply by 100
