Because the side has to be increased by 50%
you find half of 8, which is 4 and you add 8+4 because you add the increased amount
8+4=12
you then just find the area.... so 12x12= 144
ANSWER
The correct choice is A.
EXPLANATION
The given cosine function is:

This function has an amplitude of 2.
Hence it must have range,
-2≤f(t)≤2
It has a period of

Hence the function must complete one cycle on the interval,
[0,½π],
[½π,π],
etc.
The negative sign shows a reflection in the y-axis but since the cosine function is even, the function retraces itself.
The correct choice is A
for an expression or relation to be a function, it must not have any x-coordinate values repeated, let's check this one

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
17:3 is already in lowest terms. 17:3 = 34:6, 51:9, etc.
15:60 = 1:4
