Answer:
Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3 to get the rectangle WXYZ whose area is found to be 72 cm².
Let the dimensions of the dilated rectangle WXYZ are a cm by b cm.
So, ab = 72 ........... (1)
Now, the dimensions of the original rectangle are 3 times lesser than the dimensions of rectangle WXYZ.
So, the area of rectangle ABCD will be cm² {from equation (1)}
Therefore, Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. (Answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to compute the side length as a function of h
So x be the side length of the right isosceles triangle, in Pythagorean formula we have
The cost for the legs is
The cost for the hypotenuse is
So the total cost in term of h is
