Answer:

Length = 28 meters
Width = 4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the width of the rectangle is x. That means that the length of the rectangle is 7x which is 7 times as long as it is wide.

Perimeter of a rectangle:

= Length + length + Width + Width

Therefore:

7x + 7x + x + x = 64

16x = 64

x = 64/16

x = 4 meters

Length is 7 times as long:

= 4 * 7

= 28 meters

Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

$Side\ 1 = 10$

$Side\ 2 = 14$

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

$x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2$

This gives

$x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2$

$x^2 = 100 + 196$

$x^2 = 296$

Take square root

$x = \sqrt{296$

$x = 17.2in$

Quadrilateral army is rotated 90° about the origin

nevsk [136]

Sorry I am late but the I think it is this, I don’t know the answer but here is what I know. answer is: Imagine a rectangle that has one vertex at the origin and the opposite vertex is A. Now that you can see the image of A(3,4) under the rotation is A’(-4,3). It is easier to rotate the points that lie on the axes, and these help us find the image of A.
POINT: (3,0) (0,4) (3,4)
IMAGE (3,0) (-4,0) (-4,3)
