Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

160miles • 330miles= 52,800square miles

 

Now it wants the population density in people per square miles, so you need to divide the population by the number of square miles.  

 

4779736/52800=90.5 which is about 91people per square mile.

Rectangle A is a scale drawing of Rectangle B and has 25% of its area. If rectangle A has side lengths of 4 cm and 5 cm , what a
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

8 cm and 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, <em> </em>I can help you with this.

Step 1

According to the question there are two rectangles A and B,

Rectangle A is a scale drawing of Rectangle B and has 25% of its area

in other words

Area_{A}=0.25*Area_{B} (Equation\ 1)\\

Step 2

Let

Rectangle A

length (1)= 4 cm

length (2)= 5 cm

Area_{A}=4\ cm * 5\ cm\\Area_{A}=20\ cm^{2}

put this value into equation 1

Area_{A}=0.25*Area_{B} (Equation\ 1)\\\\20\ cm^{2} =0.25*Area_{B} \\divide\ each\ side\ by\ 0.25\\\frac{20\ cm^{2} }{0.25}=\frac{0.25}{0.25}*Area_{B}\\  Area_{B}=80\ cm^{2}

Now, we know the area of rectangle B, to know its length we need to formule other equation

Step 3

Area_{B}=80\ cm^{2}\\length (1B)*length (2B)=80\ cm^{2} (equation\ 2)\\

the ratio between the lengths must be constant, so the ratio of A must be equal to ratio in B, then

\frac{length(1A)}{length(2A)}=\frac{length(1B)}{length(2B)}  \\\\\\frac{4}{5}= \frac{length(1B)}{length(2B)}\\0.8=\frac{length(1B)}{length(2B)}\\length(1B)=0.8*length(2B) (Equation 3)

Step three

using Eq 1 and Eq 2 find the lengths

put the value of length(1B) into equation (2)

length (1B)*length (2B)=80\ cm^{2} (equation\ 2)\\\(0.8*length(2B)) (*length (2B)=80\ cm^{2} \\\\0.8*(length (2B))^{2} =80\ cm^{2}\\(length (2B))^{2} =\frac{80\ cm^{2}}{0.8} \\(length (2B))^{2}=100\\\sqrt{(length (2B))^{2}}=\sqrt{100\ cm^{2}} \\ length (2B)=10\ cm

Now, put the value of length(2B) into equation 3 to know length (1B)

length(1B)=0.8*length(2B)\\length(1B)=0.8*10\ cm\\length(1B)=8 cm

I really hope this helps you, have a great day.
