Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

In a square, one pair of opposite sides was made 50% longer and the other pair of opposite sides was made 50% shorter

omeli [17]

Sorry, maybe is too late for you, But the answer is:
For example: 4 x 4=16cm² if one pair of opposite sides was made 50% longer and the other pair of opposite sides was made 50% shorter
It became: 6 x 2=12cm²
12/16=0.75
So, the 75% of the square’s area is the area of the new rectangle.

What is a necessary step for constructing perpendicular lines through a point off the line?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Find another point on the perpendicular line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an original line "m", and a point off the line "Q", in order to construct a second line "p", meant to be perpendicular to "m" through the point "Q", fundamentally, the only truly necessary step to construct a perpendicular line through is to find another point on the yet-to-be-found perpendicular line.

Most often, this is accomplished by exploiting the fact that "p" is the set of all points that are equidistant from any pair of points that are symmetric about "p".

Since the symmetry must be about "p", and we don't even know where "p" is, one often finds two points on "m" that are equidistant from "Q".

This can be accomplished by adjusting a compass to a fixed radius (larger than the distance from "Q" to "m"), and making an arc that intersects "m" in two places. Those two places will be equidistant from "Q", and are simultaneously on line "m". Thus, these two points, "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p".

Since "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p", they are equidistant from "p", and are on "m". One could try to find the point of intersection between "p" and "m" through construction, but this is unnecessary. We need only find a second point (besides "Q") that is equidistant from "A" & "B", which will necessarily be a point on "p", to form the line perpendicular to "m".

To do this, fix the compass with any radius, and from "A" make a large arc generally in the direction of "B", and make the same radius arc from "B" in the direction of "A" such that the two arcs intersect at some point that isn't "Q". This point of intersection we can call point "T", and the line QT is line "p", the line perpendicular to the original line, necessarily containing "Q".

The cost of a banquet can be calculated using the function

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

3 people attended the banquet

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given as:

b = 75 + 15n where

b represents the total = 122

n represents the number of people attending = ??

If the total cost of the banquet is 122, how many people attended the banquet?

Hence,

122 = 75 + 15n

122 - 75 = 15n

47 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15

n = 47/15

n = 3.1333333333

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 3

Therefore, 3 people attended the banquet.

A rug is shaped like a parallelogram with a base of 41⁄2 ft. and a height of 2 1⁄4 ft. What is the area of the rug? Draw and lab

Bess [88]

Answer:

46.125 square feet or $46\dfrac{1}{8}$ sq. feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rug is shaped like a parallelogram with a base of $\frac{41}{2} = 20.5$ feet. and a height of $2\dfrac{1}{4} = 2.25$ feet.

Now, the area of a parallelogram is given by the product of one side as the base and the perpendicular distance of that side from the opposite parallel side as height.

Now, the area of the given parallelogram is (20.5 × 2.25) = 46.125 square feet. (Answer)
