32 square feet

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • Rectangle ABCD is dilated to create rectangle A'B'C'D'.
  • The width of rectangle ABCD is 12 feet.
  • The width of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 8 feet.
  • The area of rectangle ABCD is 72 square feet.

<u>Question:</u>

What is the area of rectangle A'B'C'D' ?

<u>The Process:</u>

The Similarity Ratio

We calculate the similarity ratio of the two widths given.

Let the width of the rectangle ABCD  as AD and the width of the rectangle A'B'C'D 'as A'D'.

\boxed{ \ The \ Similarity \ Ratio = k = \frac{A'D'}{AD} \ }

\boxed{ \ k = \frac{8}{12} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ k = \frac{2}{3} \ }

Next to calculate the area of the rectangle A'B'C'D', let us do it in two ways. You can choose one of them.

<u>First Way:</u>

The relationship between the area of ABCD and the area of A'B'C'D' is as follows:

\boxed{ \ The \ area \ of \ A'B'C'D' = k^2 \times the \ area \ of \ ABCD \ }

\boxed{ \ The \ area \ of \ A'B'C'D' = \big( \frac{2}{3} \big)^2 \times 72 \ square \ feet \ }

\boxed{ \ The \ area \ of \ A'B'C'D' = \frac{4}{9} \times 72 \ square \ feet \ }

Thus, the area of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 32 square feet.

<u>Second Way:</u>

Let us find out the length of ABCD, we just call it AB.

\boxed{ \ Length \times width = the \ area \ of \ rectangle \ ABCD \ }

\boxed{ \ Length \times 12 \ feet = 72 \ square \ feet \ }

\boxed{ \ Length = (72 \div 12) \ feet \ }

\boxed{ \ Length \ of \ AB = 6 \ feet \ }

Next, we find out the length of A'B'C'D', we just call it A'B'. Use the similarity ratio.

\boxed{ \ The \ Similarity \ Ratio = k = \frac{A'B'}{AB} \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{A'B'}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \ }

Therefore, the length of A'B' is 4 feet.

And then, we calculate the area of A'B'C'D'.

\boxed{ \ The \ area \ of \ rectangle \ A'B'C'D' = length \times width \ }

\boxed{ \ The \ area \ of \ rectangle \ A'B'C'D' = 4 \ feet \times 8 \ feet \ }

Thus, the area of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 32 square feet.

The area of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 32 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the

same shape as the original, but is a different size

A dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure

The figure and its image after dilation are similar

If two rectangles are similar, then

  • \frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}=\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = constant ratio
  • \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}
  • \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=(\frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}})^{2}

∵ Rectangle ABCD is dilated to create rectangle A'B'C'D'

∴ Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle A'B'C'D'

∵ The width of rectangle ABCD is 12 feet

∵ The width of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 8 feet

∴ \frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}=\frac{12}{8}

- Simplify the ratio to its lowest term by divide up and down by 4

∴ \frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}

∴ The scale factor of dilation is \frac{3}{2}

Let us use the rule of the similar rectangles above

∵ The area of rectangle ABCD is 72 square feet

∵ \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=(\frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}})^{2}

∴ \frac{72}{A_{2}}=(\frac{3}{2})^{2}

∴ \frac{72}{A_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ A_{2} × 9 = 72 × 4

∴ 9 A_{2} = 288

- Divide both sides by 9

∴ A_{2} = 32 feet²

∴ The area of rectangle A'B'C'D' = 32 feet²

The area of rectangle A'B'C'D' is 32 square feet

Answer:

The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic sequence

- There is a constant difference between each two consecutive

  numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic sequence:

- U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- Un = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term , d is the difference

 between each two consecutive terms n is the position of the

 number

- The sum of first n terms of an Arithmetic sequence is calculate from

 Sn = n/2[a + l], where a is the first term and l is the last term

* Now lets solve the problem

- We will use method (1)

- From the table the terms of the sequence are:

 10 , 22 , 34 , 46 , 58 , 82 , 94 , ............., where 10 is the first term

∵ an = a1 + (n - 1) d ⇒ explicit formula

∵ a1 = 10 and a2 = 22

∵ d = a2 - a1

∴ d = 22 - 10 = 12

- The 100th term means the term of n = 100

∴ a100 = 10 + (100 - 1) 12

∴ a100 = 10 + 99 × 12 = 10 + 1188 = 1198

∴ The 100th term is 1198

- Lets find the sum of the first 100 terms of the sequence

∵ Sn = n/2[a1 + an]

∵ n = 100 , a = 10 , a100 = 1198

∴ S100 = 100/2[10 + 1198] = 50[1208] = 60400

* The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400

Juan owns 7 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, 5 ties, and 6 jackets. How many different outfits can he wear to school if he must wear on
ZanzabumX [31]

To solve this problem, just use multiplication.

7\text{ pairs of pants}*3\text{ shirts}*5\text{ ties}*6\text{ jackets}=\large\boxed{630\text{ outfits}}

You can somewhat think of this situation as a sort of tree. You start with 7 large branches representing the pants, then for every one of those you have 3 medium-sized branches to represent the pairs of pants. Each one of those has 5 sticks for the ties, which in turn each have 6 leaves to represent the jackets and therefore a complete outfit. The solution is found by getting the total number of leaves on the tree.

Fred the owl is looking down at a 67° angle from the top of a tree that is 15 ft tall, when he spots a bird on the ground. How f
guapka [62]

Answer:

Fred     C. 16.30 ft

Gary     B. 169.67 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred the owl...

Always <u>draw a diagram first</u> (see diagram below). We assume trees are perpendicular (at 90°) to the ground. The situation forms a right-angle triangle.

We need to <u>find "x"</u>, which is the direct distance between the owl and the bird. "x" is also the hypotenuse, which is the longest side in a right-angle triangle. Since we know a side and an angle, we can find the hypotenuse using primary trigonometry ratios.

∠B will be the angle of reference (the angle we are "talking" about). The side we know is opposite to ∠B (15ft). We know it's opposite because it's not touching the angle. The side we need to find is the hypotenuse.

<u>Use the trig. ratio sine</u> because it has opposite and hypotenuse in it. The general formula is:

sinθ = opp/hyp

θ means the angle, and we know it is 67°.

Replace all the information you know:

sinB = opp/hyp

sin67° = (15ft) / x     Isolate "x". Rearrange the equation.

xsin67° = (15ft)         Divide both sides by sin67°

x = (15ft) / sin67°

x = 16.295... ft   Exact answer in decimals

x ≈ 16.30 ft     Rounded to nearest hundredth

Therefore Fred the owl is 16.30 feet from the bird.

Gary spots a monkey...

Draw a diagram first (see below). G is Gary, M is the monkey, T is the bottom of the Sears Tower. We need to <u>find "x"</u>, which is the distance between the monkey and the bottom of the tower.

The angle of reference is M, which is 69°. We need to find the adjacent side and we know the opposite side. <u>The trig. ratio that has adjacent and opposite is tangent.</u>

tanθ = opp/adj

Replace all the information you know:

tanM = opp/adj

tan69° = (442m) / x    Rearrange the formula to isolate "x"

xtan69° = 442m         Divide both sides by tan69°

x = 442m / tan69°      Solve by dividing

x = 169.6679.... m    Exact decimal answer

x ≈ 169.67m            Rounded to the nearest hundredth

Therefore the monkey is 169.67 metres from the tower.

Remember all the trig. ratios using the acronym SohCahToa.

o = opposite side

a = adjacent side

h = hypotenuse side

S = sine, sin for short

C = cosine, cos for short

T = tangent, tan for short

The operation is always dividing the first side in the acronym by the second side.

sinθ = opp/hyp

cosθ = adj/hyp

tanθ = opp/adj
