Answer:

Area of the rectangle(A) is given by:

A =lw

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A rectangle has an area of 72 in²

⇒A = 72 in²

then;

lw = 72

It is given that:

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.

Length of new rectangle become = 3.5l

Width of new rectangle become = 3.5 w

then;

Area of new rectangle  = (Length of new rectangle)(Width of new rectangle)

⇒Area of new rectangle = (3.5l)(3.5w) =12.25(lw)

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Area of new rectangle} = 12.25 \cdot 72 = 882 in^2

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is, 882 in²

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

x^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 16 = 25

x^2 = 9

x = +/- 3

we take only the positive value because a length can‘t be negative

x = 3
