Answer:

option (b) is correct.  

The dimensions of the original rectangle could be 4 × 5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A rectangle is dilated by a factor of \frac{1}{5} the area of the new rectangle is 4 square yards .

We have to find  the dimensions of the original rectangle.

Dilation is a property to resize the figures without changing measures of angles. It just reduce the given figure if dilation factor is less than 1 and enlarge if dilation factor is greater than 1.

Since, given dilation factor is \frac{1}{5} , which is less than 1. Thus, the the resultant figure is smaller in size then the original

Original × dilation factor = new

Here, given figure is rectangle so,

Original rectangle  × dilation factor = new rectangle

Given :

new rectangle = 4 square yards

dilation factor = \frac{1}{5}

Original rectangle  ×  \frac{1}{5}  = 4 square yards

Original rectangle = 4 × 5 square yards

Original rectangle = 20 square yards

Thus, option (b) is correct.  

Thus, the dimensions of the original rectangle could be 4 × 5 yards

The Distributive Property allows you to say that 3(x − 1) = 3x −
Serga [27]

Answer:

3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the distributive property each value inside the parenthesis will be multiplied by the value outside the parenthesis.

In the expression 3(x - 1) it will look like:

(3 . x) - (3 . 1)

Then we multiply both value separately giving us:

3x - 3

So in conclusion it would be right to assume that.

3(x - 1) = 3x - 3

An angle is five times its supplement. Find both angles.
noname [10]
The measure of the smaller angle is 30 degrees.
The measure of the larger angle is 150 degrees.

What I did:
supplementary angle=180 degrees.
<span>An angle is five times its supplement=180/6=
30
30*5=150
150+30=180

Kareem and Marco went to the mall. Kareem spent $8 less than Marco spent at the mall. Kareem spent more than $15. Write an inequ
mestny [16]
Marco spent more than $23. M > 23

We know the Kareem spent 8 less than Marco and that Kareem spent more than 15. If we add 8 onto the 15, we know that Marco has to be more than 23.

To graph this, draw an open circle at 23 and have an arrow going to the right.
