Draw a rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall, and that fits snugly into the triangular region formed by the line 3x + 4y

= 12 and the positive coordinate axes, with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner on the line. Find the dimensions of this rectangle.

To draw the line 3x+4y=12:

let x=0, then      4y=12, so y=3                 thus the point (0, 3) is on the line

let y-0, then       3x=12, so x=4                 thus the point (4, 0) is on the line

Join the points to form the line as shown in the picture.


Let the opposite corner of the origin be P, the coordinates of P must be (2a, a). 

In this way we have "a rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall"


the point P(2a, a) is a point on the line 3x+4y=12, 

thus x=2a, y=a is a solution to the equation:

3x+4y=12
3(2a)+4a=12
6a+4a=12
10a=12
a=12/10=1.2


The dimensions of the rectangle are 2a by a, that is 2.4 by 1.2



Answer: 2.4 by 1.2

Solve the following equation: 156 + (7 – 3) x 7 = A. 174 B. 184 C. 1,050 D. 1,120
IrinaVladis [17]
In this problem, it is essential to use the order of operations, or PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). First, you solve 7-3=4. Then, you multiply 7 times 4, which is 28. Lastly, you add 28 to 156 which is 184. So your answer is B.

Amari claims that a rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a
Maslowich

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a figure of four sides, such that opposite sides are parallel

A rectangle is a four-sided figure such that all internal angles are 90°

Here, the statement is:

"A rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a

rectangle."

Here if we found a parallelogram that is not a rectangle, then that is enough to prove that the statement is false.

The counterexample is a rhombus, which is a parallelogram that has two internal angles smaller than 90° and two internal angles larger than 90°, then this parallelogram is not a rectangle, then the statement is false.

The correct statement would be:

"A parallelogram is sometimes a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram"
