Answer:

length = 9 in ; width = 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1) formula of the area of a rectangle

A = base x width

2) write an equation with the given informations:

w x (3w-3) = 36

3) solve the equation

-  multiply W by 3w and -3

3w^2 -3w = 36

- divide the two members by 3

w^2 - w = 12

- add up -12 at the two members

w^2-w -12 = 12 -12

w^2 - w - 12 = 0

- find two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -12 and factorise the equation

(w-4)(w+3) = 0

- find the two solutions

w-4 = 0

w = 4

w+3 = 0

w = -3

4)remember that a length can’t be negative.

w = 4 is the only solution

5) find the length

4x3 - 3 = 9

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a graphing calculator, the graph shows an almost parabola like shape between 0 and 12

Plus if the width was equal or greater than twelve we would have a 0 or even negative volume which is impossible

What set of reflections would carry hexagon ABCDEF onto itself?
Marianna [84]

When a set of reflections that carry a shape onto itself, it means that the final position of the shape will be the same as its original location

Reflections <em>(a) y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis </em>would carry the hexagon onto itself

First; we test the given options, until we get the true option

<u>(a) y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis</u>

The rule of reflection y =x is:

(x,y) \to (y,x)

The rule of reflection across the x-axis is:

(x,y) \to (x,-y)

So, we have:

(y,x) \to (y,-x)

The rule of reflection y =x is:

(x,y) \to (y,x)

So, we have:

(y,-x) \to (-x,y)

Lastly, the reflection across the y-axis is:

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

So, we have:

(-x,y) \to (x,y)

So, the overall transformation is:

(x,y) \to (x,y)

Notice that, the original and final coordinates are the same.

This means that:

Reflections <em>(a) y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis </em>would carry the hexagon onto itself

B)7:8 is the answer because:

16 total - 7 green = 8 and so
the ratio of GREEN to RED is
7:8
7 green 8 red

For a) it would be 1:2 as it is 16:8 and simplified would make it 1:2
