Answer:

The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The  ratio of the width to the length of a rectangle is 2:3

Let The length of rectangle = 2 x

Let The width of rectangle = 3 x

∵ Area of rectangle = length × width

So, A_1 = 2 x × 3 x

Or,  A_1  =  6 x²

<u>Again</u>

The increased length of rectangle = 2 x + 2 x = 4 x

The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 50% of 3 x

I.e The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 1.5 x = 4.5 x

∵ Increased Area of rectangle = increased length × increased width

Or,   A_2  = 4 x × 4.5 x  = 18 x²

So, The percentage increase in area = \dfrac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1} × 100

Or, The percentage increase in area = \frac{18 x^{2}-6x^{2}}{6x^{2}} × 100

Or , The percentage increase in area = \dfrac{12}{6} × 100

∴ The percentage increase in area  = 200

Hence, The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200% Answer

F(x)=x^2 what is g(x)
Triss [41]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, it is hard to see which function fits g(x). We are given the point (4,1). Luckily, the point lies on g(x). We can plug in (4,1) into the g(x) equations and see which best fits.

A. Incorrect

1=4(4)^2

1=4(16)

1\neq 64

B. Incorrect

1=\frac{1}{4} (4)^2

1=\frac{1}{4} (16)

1\neq 4

C. Incorrect

1=(\frac{1}{2}(4))^2

1=(2)^2

1\neq 4

D. Correct

1=(\frac{1}{4}(4))^2

1=(1)^2

1=1
