Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has an area of x² + 7x + 12. Use factoring to find possible dimensions of the rectangle. Explain why you can use factoring to find the answer.

Solution:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (ha four sides and four angles) in which opposite sides are parallel and equal to each other. All the four angles in a rectangle are 90° each.

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = length * width

Hence the area is the product of two sides.

Given that:

Area = x² + 7x + 12

Factoring to find both the length and width of the rectangle:

Area = x² + 7x + 12

Area = x² + 4x + 3x + 12

Area = x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4)

Area = (x + 4)(x + 3)

After factoring we can see that the area is the product of (x + 4) and (x + 3). Hence x + 4 is the length and x + 3 is the width.

Answer:

1. this is the definition of a midpoint - bc the definition of a midpoint is: “If a point is a midpoint of a segment, then it divides that segment into two congruent parts” or “If a point divides a segment into two congruent parts, then it's the midpoint of that segment.”

2. this is the division property of equality -"The division property of equality states that when we divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal". so, in this situation we want to isolate x which means dividing both sides by 20. This will keep both sides equal just more simplified  ( before, it was 20 and 100, after dividing both sides by 20 it is 1 and 5 which is the same ratio therefore they are still equal)

3. this one's the subtraction property of equality- this property means you can subtract the same number from both sides of an equation and get an equivalent equation. in this situation, they subtracted 15 from both sides to get AB = 30 and it ends being still being equal to AB + 15= 45.

4. this is the symmetric property of equality -  "This property states that if a = b, then b = a. That is, we can interchange the sides of an equation, and the equation is still a true statement." "it states that values are still equal no matter which side of the equal sign they're on." That's why its possible for XY=ST and ST=XY

5. this is definition of congruence - which basically states that if a value of one thing is equal to the value of another thing those two things can be called congruent.

6. this is substitution property- this is the property that allows you to substitute one value for another in an equation. the property states  that if  

x = y, then x can be substituted in for y in any equation, and y can be substituted for x in any equation, just like what they show here with 5AB substituting for CD in the equation.

i hope this helped!   im not that good at explaining so if u have more questions lmk!

Draw a picture to show the product of 4:7 x 3. Then write the product
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

¹²/₇

Step-by-step explanation:

Model ⁴/₇ × 3

Assume that you have three pies, each dived into seven slices.

There are only four slices remaining in each pie, that is, there is ⁴/₇ pie in each pie plate

The picture represents ⁴/₇ × 3.  

Model the product

Now, transfer slices to get as many filled pie plates as possible.

Count the total slices.

You have 12 slices, and each slice represents ⅐ of a pie.

You have ¹²/₇  pie.

∴ ⁴/₇ × 3 = ¹²/₇
