Answer:

The area of rectangle EFGH is 242\ in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem I assume that rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGH are similar

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ------> the scale factor

The scale factor is the ratio between the diagonals of rectangles

so

z=\frac{22}{12}=\frac{11}{6}

step 2

Find the area of rectangle EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is the scale factor squared

Let

z------> the scale factor

x -----> area of rectangle EFGH

y ----> area of rectangle ABCD

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{11}{6}

y=72\ in^{2}

substitute and solve for x

(\frac{11}{6})^{2}=\frac{x}{72}

\frac{121}{36}=\frac{x}{72}

x=\frac{121}{36}(72)

x=242\ in^{2}

Convert time to hours.

Time =0.5hrs

The average speed

=  \frac{4}{0.5}

= 8km/hr

Suppose an airplane climbs 15 feet for every 40 feet it moves forward. What is the slope of this airplanes ascent?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the same as rise over run, or y/x. In this case, rise over run is 15 over 40, or 15/40. Simplified, this is 3/8.

WHat is 20/7 written as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth?
S_A_V [24]
To solve this, you just divide 20 divided by 7.

20/7 = <span>2.85714285714

If you are trying to round to the nearest tenth, the next decimal place (hundredths) is a 5, so you must round 2.8 up one more digit.

Your final answer is that</span> 20/7 = 2.9 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
