Answer:

5.25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Abdul wants to hang a square poster that measure 1 1/2 feet on a side in the center of a 12-foot-long wall. How far from the end of the wall should abdul place the side of the poster?

Length of one side of Square poster = 1 1/2 Feets = 3/2 feets

Length of wall = 12 feets long

Since Abdul wants the poster to be centered in the wall; then the picture should be placed such that there must be equal space left on either side of the wall after hanging.

Hence, (12/2 - 1 1/2) = (6 - 0.75) feets

= 5.25 feets

y =-3x + x + 9

Find y when x = 2

Substitute the value of x= 2 into the equation

y = -3(2) + 2 + 9

y = - 6 + 2 + 9

y = -4 + 9

y = 5

The answer is 5

In rectangle ABCD, AB = 10 cm and BC = 14 cm. If rectangle EFGH is the image after a dilation, which could be its side lengths?
lana [24]

Answer is D

After dilation the image remain same but it is stretched or shrinked to the original size.

That means the ratio of the sides and the angles between the sides remain same .

Here we did dilation of ABCD which made it to EFGH.

Hence the ratio of the corresponding sides of the original rectangle ABCD should remain same even after dilation.

the corresponding sides are : AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

DA and HE

* Let us find ratio of the sides AB and BC

given that AB= 10 and BC= 14

AB/BC= 10/14 = 5 /7 ( 10 and 14 both are multiple of 2 so we reduced them by a factor of 2 )

* the raio of the corresponding sides EF and FG should be same ( 5/7)

in the option D EF= 25 and FG= 35

so EF/FG= 25/35 = 5 /7 ( both are multiple of 5 so we reduced them by the factor of 5 )

Since ratio of the corresponding sides are coming out to be same for the EFGH given in option D it should be the dilation of the ABCD

N - 4 = 3n + 6<br> Plz help me if possible no pics
levacccp [35]

Answer:

n=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

n−4−3n=3n+6−3n

−2n−4=6

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−2n−4+4=6+4

−2n=10

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n /−2 =  10 /−2

n=−5
