Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.
Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3
3/5 = x/3
cross multiply
3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)
3(3) = x(5)
9 = 5x
Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides
9/5 = 5x/5
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
1.8 in. is your answer
hope this helps
The minimum value for g(x)=x² - 10x + 16 is -9
<h3>How to determine the minimum value?</h3>
The function is given as:
g(x)=x² - 10x + 16
Differentiate the function
g'(x) = 2x - 10
Set the function 0
2x - 10 = 0
Add 10 to both sides
2x = 10
Divide by 2
x = 5
Substitute 5 for x in g(x)
g(5)=5² - 10*5 + 16
Evaluate
g(5) = -9
Hence, the minimum value for g(x)=x² - 10x + 16 is -9
