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}

Determine the equation of a line that passrs through the point (4,-1) and also parallel to y=3x+4
nexus9112 [7]
First, plug in the given point into y=mx +b to find b (the y-intercept of the line). Use the same slope (m) in the equation since parallel lines have the same slope (3 in this case).

-1 = 3(4) +b
-1 = 12 + b Subtract 12 to both sides.
-13 = b

Now, put your m and b into y=mx+b.

The final answer/equation of your line is:

y=3x -13

The circumference of a circle is 11π inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the circle? Express your answer in terms of
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

30.25 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

11 pi = 2 * pi *r

divide each side by 2 pi

11/2 = 2 ( pi) * r/ ( 2pi)

11/2 = r

We can find the area by

A =  pi * r^2

   =  pi ( 11/2) ^2

   =  pi ( 121/4)

   = pi ( 121/4)

   = 30.25 pi
