Answer:

side length of larger square = 24 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

the smaller square has an area of 256 square meters. the areas of the two squares have a ratio of 4:9

Area of smaller square to larger square ratio is 4:9

Let 'area' be the area of larger square

Lets make a proportion using the given ratio and area of smaller square

\frac{4}{9} =\frac{256}{area}

cross multiply it

4 area = 256  times 9

Divide both sides by 4

area= 576

Area of larger square = 576 square meters

Are of square is (side )^2

side^2= 576

Take square root on both sides

side = 24

side length of larger square = 24 meters

<span>A scale factor is the ratio of two similar geometric figures of their corresponding sides. The scale factor is calculated by locating the corresponding sides on each figure. We do as follows:

256/x = 4/9
x = 576 m^2

side length = 24 m

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. </span>

6. The vertices of ALMN are L(7,4), M(7,16), and
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

(a) LM=12 units, LN=35 units, MN=37 units

(b)8 84 units

(c) 210 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Since points L and M have same x coordinates, it means they are in the same plane. Also, since the Y coordinates of L and N are same, they also lie in the same plane

Length LM=\sqrt {(7-7)^{2}+(16-4)^{2}}=12 units

Length LN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-4)^{2}}=35 units

LengthMN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-16)^{2}}=37 units

Alternatively, since this is a right angle triangle, length MN is found using Pythagoras theorem where

MN=\sqrt {(LN)^{2}+(LM)^{2}}=\sqrt {(12)^{2}+(35)^{2}}=37 units

Therefore, the lengths LM=12 units, LN=35 units and MN=37 units

(b)

Perimeter is the distance all round the figure

P=LM+LN+MN=12 units+35 units+37 units=84 units

(c)

Area of a triangle is given by 0.5bh where b is base and h is height, in this case, b is LN=35 units and h=LM which is 12 units

Therefore, A=0.5*12*35= 210 square units

Line N passes through the points (–1, 4) and (–1, –4).Which is true of line N? Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the points that line N passes through are graphed, they form a vertical line.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

We can also check if it's undefined by finding the slope.

m=\frac{-4-4}{-1+1}=\frac{-8}{0}

The quotient would be undefined. You cannot divide by zero.

Hope this helps.
