Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;

The image represents a rectangular patio that has a length equal to 4 feet more than the width. What is the perimeter of the pat
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

  4w+8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Since opposite sides are identical in length, it can be computed as double the sum of adjacent side lengths. Here, the lengths are in feet.

  P = 2(L+W)

  P = 2((w+4) +w)

  P = 4w +8

The perimeter of the patio is 4w+8 feet.

Dilate by a scale<br> factor of 1/2<br> AL<br> D
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The image triangle ΔD'L'W' after the dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 will have the vertices:

  • D' (0, 1)
  • L' (1/2, 5/2) or L'(0.5, 2.5)
  • W' (5/2, 2) or W'(2.5, 2)

`The figure of the dilated image is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ΔDLW withe the vertices

  • D(0, 2)
  • L(1, 5)
  • W(5, 4)

As the scale factor 1/2 < 0, thus the image triangle will be smaller than the original triangle.

The rule of dilation is given by

Dilation: (x, y)  →  (1/2x, 1/2y), centered at (0, 0)

D(0, 2)  → D' (1/2x, 1/2y) → D' (1/2(0), 1/2(2)) = D' (0, 1)

L(1, 5)  → L'(1/2x, 1/2y) →  L'(1/2(1), 1/2(5)) = L' (1/2, 5/2)

W(5, 4)  → W'(1/2x, 1/2y) →  W'(1/2(5), 1/2(4)) = W' (5/2, 2)

Therefore, the image triangle ΔD'L'W' after the dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 will have the vertices:

  • D' (0, 1)
  • L' (1/2, 5/2) or L'(0.5, 2.5)
  • W' (5/2, 2) or W'(2.5, 2)

`The figure of the dilated image is attached below.
