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}

A number of robbers were discussing how best to share some stolen rolls of
kupik [55]

Answer:

83

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of robbers be x

If they share 6 rolls each, the tota rolls will be 6x and since they have five remainder, the overall total is then 6x+5

In case they share 7 rolls each, it means they have 7x rolls but here they will be less 8 rolls hence 7x-8 is the overall total.

Equating these two

7x-8=6x+5

Arranging similar terms

7x-6x=8+5

x=13

Therefore, the robbers are 13

The rolla they have will be

6(13)+5=83

Or

7(13)-8=83
