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

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}

Andre45 [30]
We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2 
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.

If F(x)=2/3x^2+8x, what is the value of f(6)
Delvig [45]

Answer:

f = 2x + 24/ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide both sides by x.

fx/x = 2/3 x^2 + 8x/x

f = 2x + 24/3
