Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.
... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)
... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms
... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.
... 2x +4(-6) = -12
... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24
... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).
A)
The four small squares are all 3x3, so the perimeter is 3+3+3+3 = 12.
12 * 4 = 48
We can find the perimeter of the large diamond shape using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 4
b = 4
4^2 + 4^2 = c^2
16 + 16 = c^2
32 = c^2
c = 5.65685425
So the perimeter of the large diamond shape is
5.65685425+5.65685425+5.65685425+5.65685425 = 22.627417
48+22.6 = 70.6
B)
The areas of the small squares are 3x3 = 9
9 * 4 = 36
The area of the large diamond shape is
5.65685425 * 5.65685425 = 32
36 + 32 = 68
108 divided by 12 is 9 Maexus needs Nine Feet Of Wood
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A. Scale factor
When you dilate an object by a scale factor, you multiply its line lengths by the same number.
If EF/AB = 13/7, the scale factor is 13/7.
B. Length of EF

C. Area of EFGH
If the lengths in a shape are all multiplied by a scale factor, then the areas will be multiplied by the scale factor squared.
ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 13/7, so its area is dilated by a scale factor of

The area of its dilated image EFGH is
