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}

Which calculation and answer show how to convert 3/12 to a decimal<br> Plz help ASAP
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Its C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is C becuase when converting a fraction to a decimal, you just divide the numerator by the denominator

Basically solve the fraction

3/12=1/4

1/4 is a bencmark so right away you should know that should equal to 0.25 since its a quarter.

Or you can always look it like this

3 is the numerator

the “/“ between is basically ”divided by”

And the 12 is the denominator

Now read the equation in that order

3/12= 3 DIVIDED BY 12

There you go!

The circumference of a circular garden is 153.86. What is the radius of the garden? use 3.14 for pie and do not round your answe
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

24.5 is the answer. It is not rounded.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to work backwards on this problem.  153.86 divided by 3.14 = 49.  But 49 is only your diameter, so you have to divide by 2 to get radius.  49/2 = 24.5.

Rate me 5 stars please

Step-by-step explanation:

so you go and subtract and you ad what each one equals

                                       10-12=2

                                         9-12=3

                                         3-12=9

                                      ---------------

                                      =  1 whole OR 12/12
