Area= l * b

12= 5 * b

b = 12/ 5

b= 2.4 ft

To calculate AREA it’s base x width. To get width you do area divided by base.

12/5= 2.4 feet

2.4=W

Which figure could be the result of dilating this rectangle with a scale factor between 0 and 1? On a coordinate plane, a rectan

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

(a) On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point coordinate of the dilated figure will be smaller by the same factor.

Looking at the original (0, 3) coordinate, we find that possible answer choices include ...

A (0, 1) has a scale factor of 1/3

B (0, 4) has a scale factor greater than 1

C (0, 1) has a scale factor of 1/3

D (0, 2) has a scale factor of 2/3

Looking at the rest of the points in the answer selections, we find that the scale factors in choices C and D are not consistent from one point to another (or even within the same point). Those choices must be rejected.

In selection A, the image points are listed out of order, tending to confuse the issue. However, A is the correct choice.

Determine the most precise name for ABCD (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, or square). Explain how you determined your answer.

Sonja [21]

<h3>Answer: Rhombus</h3>

======================================================

Reason:

Let's find the distance from A to B. This is equivalent to finding the length of segment AB. I'll use the distance formula.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (7,6)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2 + (5-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 4.1231\\\\$

Segment AB is exactly $\sqrt{17}$ units long, which is approximately 4.1231 units.

If you were to repeat similar steps for the other sides (BC, CD and AD) you should find that all four sides are the same length. Because of this fact, we have a rhombus.

-------------------------

Let's see if this rhombus is a square or not. We'll need to see if the adjacent sides are perpendicular. For that we'll need the slope.

Let's find the slope of AB.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2) = (7,6)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{6 - 5}{7 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Segment AB has a slope of 1/4.

Do the same for BC

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (7,6) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (6,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 6}{6 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{-4}{-1}\\\\m = 4\\\\$

Unfortunately the two slopes of 1/4 and 4 are not negative reciprocals of one another. One slope has to be negative while the other is positive, if we wanted perpendicular lines. Also recall that perpendicular slopes must multiply to -1.

We don't have perpendicular lines, so the interior angles are not 90 degrees each.

Therefore, this figure is not a rectangle and by extension it's not a square either.

The best description for this figure is a rhombus.
