Ralph wants to build a rectangular deck with a predefined area of 66 feet squared. One side of the deck will be 5 feet longer th

an the other. To find the side lengths, he first writes the equation (x)(x+5)=66 and later simplifies (x-6)(x+11)=0 it to , where x is the length of the shorter side. Which of these are the side lengths, in feet, of the rectangular deck? Select all that apply

Answer:

<h2>The shorter side is 6 ft and the longer side is 11 ft</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given, but we could solve and arrive at an answer

say the shorter side is x

and the longer side is x+5

we know that the area of a rectangle is given as

x*(x+5)=66

open the bracket

x^2+5x=66

x^2+5x-66=0

Find two factors of  -66  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

the factors are 11 and -6

splitting the middle term using the two factors  11  and  -6

x2 +11x - 6x - 66=0

x(x+11)-6(x+11)=0

(x-6)=0

x=6

(x+11)=0

x=-11

The shorter side is 6 ft and the longer side is 11 ft

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Any 1 of the following transformations will work. There are others that are also possible.

  • translation up 4 units, followed by rotation CCW by 90°.
  • rotation CCW by 90°, followed by translation left 4 units.
  • rotation CCW 90° about the center (-2, -2).
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The order of vertices ABC is clockwise, as is the order of vertices A'B'C'. Thus, if reflection is involved, there are two (or some other even number of) reflections.

The orientation of line CA is to the east. The orientation of line C'A' is to the north, so the figure has been rotated 90° CCW. In general, such rotation can be accomplished by a single transformation about a suitably chosen center. Here, we're told there is <em>a sequence of transformations</em> involved, so a single rotation is probably not of interest.

If we rotate the figure 90° CCW, we find it ends up 4 units east of the final position. So, one possible transformation is 90° CCW + translation left 4 units.

If we rotate the final figure 90° CW, we find it ends up 4 units north of the starting position. So, another possible transformation is translation up 4 units + rotation 90° CCW.

Of course, rotation 90° CCW in either case is the same as rotation 270° CW.

_____

We have described transformations that will work. What we don't know is what is in your drop-down menu lists. There are many other transformations that will also work, so guessing the one you have available is difficult.

When x=8 y=20. What is y when x=42?
Sergeu [11.5K]
If you would like to know what is y when x = 42, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x = 8 ... y = 20
x = 42 ... y = ? 

8 * y = 20 * 42      /8
y = 20 * 42 / 8
y = 105

The correct result would be: y = 105 when x = 42.
