Answer:

$12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side of the square

we know that

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

where

b is the length side

we have

$A=144\ cm^2$

substitute in the formula of area

$144=b^{2}$

solve for b

square root both sides

$b=12\ cm$

step 2

Find the length of the diagonal

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$d^2=b^2+b^2$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

substitute the given values

$d^2=12^2+12^2$

$d^2=288$

square root both sides

$d=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$d=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

What is the relationship between the ratios? 16/72 and 8/32 Drag and drop to complete the statement. The ratios are . proportion

Yuki888 [10]

These ratios are not proportional.

Explanation:

If the ratio 8:32 were simplified, it would equal 1:4 because they can both be divided by 8. But since 16 x 4 does not equal 72, they cannot be divided by 4 to make a simplified ratio such as the first example.

Hope I helped, and good luck!

Given:

The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).

To find:

The area of the rectangle.

Solution:

Distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using the distance formula, we get

$AB=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(4-1)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(2)^2+(3)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{4+9}$

$AB=\sqrt{13}$

Similarly,

$BC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(0-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{16+16}$

$BC=\sqrt{32}$

$BC=4\sqrt{2}$

Now, the length of the rectangle is $AB=\sqrt{13}$ and the width of the rectangle is $BC=4\sqrt{2}$ . So, the area of the rectangle is:

$A=length \times width$

$A=\sqrt{13}\times 4\sqrt{2}$

$A=4\sqrt{26}$

$A\approx 20$

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.

6. During an emergency exercise, a submarine dives 37 ft, rises 16 ft, and

Masteriza [31]

During an emergency exercise, a submarine dives 37 ft, rises 16 ft, and

then dives 18 ft. The net change in the submarine's position = - 37 + 16 - 18

Net change is the difference between a security's closing price for a given trading period and its closing price for the current trading session. The term "net change" for stock prices often refers to a daily time frame, therefore the net change for the specific day in question might be either positive or negative.

Therefore, the net change = -39 ft.

What is a net change?

Net change is the difference between the quantity of a variable at the end state and the starting state.
For example, start with some number. Add 10 to it, subtract 5 from it, again add 7, then subtract 16.
The net change will be 10 + 5 + 7 - 16 = 6
Whatever number you have started with, the result is 6 more.

Answer :

Length of rectangle = 14m

Width of rectangle = 12m

Explanation :

p = 2l + 2w = 68

l = w + 2

Substitute:

68 = 2(w + 2) + 2w

68 = 2w + 4 + 2w

4w = 64

w = 16

l = 18
