Answer: The length is 5 times the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of rectangle = $5x^2=(5x)(x)$

Here x must be a positive real number since it can not be negative.

Also for area of rectangle = $length \times width$

And length is always greater than width of rectangle, therefore in the given expression 'x' must be width and '5x' must be length of rectangle .

[∵ for every positive x , 5x>x]

Hence, the coefficient 5 means the length is 5 times the width.

Answer:

Conner's work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In exponent multiplication, if base are same, add the exponents.

$a^{m}*a^{n} =a^{m+n}$

For example,

5² * 5³

5² = 5 * 5

5³ = 5* 5 * 5

5² * 5³ = 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 5⁵ = 5⁽²⁺³⁾

Graph the direct variation y=−1.5x. Using the graph, find the value of y corresponding to the value of x equal to 1; 0; 2; 3.

Y_Kistochka [10]

X=1
y=-1.5(1)
y=-1.5
(1,-1.5)

x=0
y=-1.5(0)
y=0
(0,0)

x=2
y=-1.5(2)
y=-3
(2,-3)

x=3
y=-1.5(3)
y=-4.5
(3,-4.5)

all you do is substitute the x value in the equation to get y

The sector of a circle with a 12-inch radius has a central angle measure of 60°.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: Area of sector in term of π is 24 in.².

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Radius of the sector of a circle = 12 inch

Central angle = 60°

As we know the formula for "Area of sector":

$Area=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\pi r^2\\\\Area=\frac{60}{360}\times \pi\times 12\times 12\\\\Area=24\pi\ inch^2$

Hence, Area of sector in term of π is 24 in.².
