Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be a,b units respectively.

Then the area will be ab square units.

Now if the length of the rectangle is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 2 units then new length and breadth will be (a−5) units and (b+2) units.

Then new area will be (a−5)(b+2).

Then according to the problem,

(a−5)(b+2)−ab=−80

or, 2a−5b=−70.......(1).

Now if length of the rectangle is increased by 10 units and breadth is decreased by 5 units then new length and breadth will be (a+10) units and (b−5) units.

Then new area will be (a+10)(b−5).

Then according to the problem,

(a+10)(b−5)−ab=50

or, 10b−5a=100

or, 2b−a=20

or, 4b−2a=40......(2).

Now adding (1) and (2) we get

−b=−30

or, b=30.

Putting the value of b in (1) we get, a=40.

Now a+b=40+30=70.

Can someone please help me with this math question
inn [45]

Answer:

1. reflection across x-axis

2. translation 6 units to the right and 3 units up (x+6,y+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trapezoid ABCD has it vertices at points A(-5,2), B(-3,4), C(-2,4) and D(-1,2).

First transformation is the reflection across the x-axis with the rule

(x,y)→(x,-y)

so,

  • A(-5,2)→A'(-5,-2)
  • B(-3,4)→B'(-3,-4)
  • C(-2,4)→C'(-2,-4)
  • D(-1,2)→D'(-1,-2)

Second transformation is translation 6 units to the right and 3 units up with the rule

(x,y)→(x+6,y+3)

so,

  • A'(-5,-2)→E(1,1)
  • B'(-3,-4)→H(3,-1)
  • C'(-2,-4)→G(4,-1)
  • D'(-1,-2)→F(5,1)
