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.

using 3.14 for pi what is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 6cm, show ur work PLEASE /using 3.14 for pi what is the
Illusion [34]
PT 1
the circumference of a circle is always pi times the diameter. The diameter is 2 times the radius, because diameter is all the way across the circle, whereas radius is from the center of the circle to the edge. Anyways, if the radius is 6, multiply it by 2 and you get 12, so 3.14 times 12 is 37.68, which is the answer.
PT 2
diameter=9 cm. So, just do 9 times 3.14. (diameter times pi = circumference.)
(2*radius times pi = circumference.)
9 times 3.14 is 28.26
