Answer:

  13 in by 51 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...

  663 = x(4x -1)

  4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form

Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.

  x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))

  x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8

Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...

  x = 104/8 = 13

  4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51

The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

How many lines of symmetry does the figure have? If the figure has no line symmetry, enter the number
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

Line of symmetry of a figure is an imaginary line about which the figure can be divided into two equal halves.

In other words, a line passing the center of the figure about which we can fold the figure into two halves overlapping each other.

For the trapezoid given in the figure, line of symmetry will be a vertical line perpendicular to the parallel sides.

Therefore, The figure has 1 line of symmetry.

What is the area of the shape?
marshall27 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

the shape is a right trapezium.

you use the following formula:

area of a trapezium = ½ × sum of parallel sides× height.

or simply,

a = ½ ( a + b ) h

where a and b are the parallel sides

and h is the height.

thus,

a = ½ × ( 4 + 6 )× 4

a = ½ ( 10 ) × 4

a = 5 × 4

a = 20

have a great day! au revoir !
