A square has side length of 9 in. If the area is doubled, what happens to the side length?

Mathematics

Answer:

The side length is multiplied by \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the original square is equal to

A=9^{2}=81\ in^{2}

If the area is doubled

then

The area of the larger square is

A1=(2)81=162\ in^{2}

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the larger square

y ---> the area of the original square

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=162\ in\^{2}

y=81\ in\^{2}

z^{2}=\frac{162}{81}

z^{2}=2

z=\sqrt{2} ------> scale factor

therefore

The side length is multiplied by \sqrt{2}

Make a down payment of $1500 and finance the rest of $20000 at 1.9% interest rate, making equal monthly payments for 5 years.
REY [17]
We know that we have to m<span>ake a down payment of $1500 and finance the rest of $20000 at a 1.9% interest rate, making equal monthly payments for 5 years. Our first step to solve this problem would be to convert 5 years into months. 

1 year = 12 months 

12 * 5 = 60 months 

Therefore, in 5 years there are 60 months. 

Now lets solve this problem step by step. 

Subtract the down payment from $20,000

</span>$20000-$1500=$18500

Multiply the remaining number by the interest rate. 

$18500 *1.9 = $35150 

Divide 35150 by number of months in 5 years (60)

$35150 / 60 = $585 

<span>Therefore, you have to pay $585 per month. </span>

Solve the whole problem i give brainliest please help me.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The inequality is 12.5v + 70 ≥ 215

and the amount of visits they can make is 12 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take away (subtract) 70 from both sides, you'll get

12.5v ≥ 145

and when you divide both sides by 12.5, you'll get 11.6, or 12

Answer:

\dfrac{z-y}{a+b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

\dfrac{z^2-y^2}{a^2-b^2}\div \dfrac{z+y}{a-b}

Substitute

a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\ \\z^2-y^2=(z-y)(z+y)

into the expression:

\dfrac{(z-y)(z+y)}{(a-b)(a+b)}\div \dfrac{z+y}{a-b}\\ \\ \\=\dfrac{(z-y)(z+y)}{(a-b)(a+b)}\times \dfrac{a-b}{z+y}\\ \\ \\=\dfrac{z-y}{a+b}

F is between E and G. EF=3X, EG= 11x-2, FG= 5x+16. Find the value of the variable
Salsk061 [2.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of segments is used:

  EF +FG = EG

  3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions

  8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2

  18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

  6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of the variable is 6.

__

<em>Check</em>

The segment lengths are ...

  EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18

  FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46

  EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct
