Answer:

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A. 3.1 cm

B. 3.2 cm

C. 4.2 cm

D. 6.1 cm

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

x -----> the length of each of the two equal sides in the isosceles triangle

The perimeter of one isosceles triangle is equal to

P=2x+2

Remember that

To maximize the use of the wire, the perimeter of 6 earrings (3 pairs of earrings) must be equal to 50 cm

so

6(2x+2)=50

Solve for x

12x+12=50

12x=50-12

12x=38

x=\frac{38}{12}=3.16\ cm

therefore

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

A rectangle with an area of 4/7 meters squared is dilated by a factor of 7. What is the area of the dilated rectangle?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time you multiply both sides of a rectangle by a number x, its area if multiplied by x^{2}.

In our example:

Area of a rectangle = width . length

width = 4

length   = 7

A_{1} = 4 . 7 = 28

When you multiply both sides by 7:

width = 4 . 7 = 28

length = 7 . 7 = 49

A_{2}  = 28 . 49

A_{2}  = 1372

A_{2}  / A_{1} = 1372 / 28 = 49 = (7)^{2}

Both sides multiplied by 7 => Area multiplied by 7^{2}

Got it?
