Answer:

The new width = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Length : width = 8 inches : 4 inches

Reduced dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Let

x = the new width

Length : width = 4 inches : x inches

Equate both dimensions to get the value of x

Length : width

8 inches : 4 inches = 4 inches : x inches

8 / 4 = 4 / x

Cross product

8 * x = 4 * 4

8x = 16

x = 16/8

x = 2 inches

The new width = 2 inches

Zanzabum

1. N is a midpoint of the segment KL, then N has coordinates

\left(\dfrac{x_K+x_L}{2},\dfrac{y_K+y_L}{2} \right) =\left(\dfrac{0+2a}{2},\dfrac{2b+0}{2} \right) =(a,b).

2. To find the area of △KNM, the length of the base MK is 2b, and the length of the height is a. So an expression for the area of △KNM is

A_{KMN}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2b\cdot a=ab.

3. To find the area of △MNL, the length of the base ML is 2a and the length of the height is b. So an expression for the area of △MNL is

A_{MNL}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2a\cdot b=ab.

4. Comparing the expressions for the areas you have that the area A_{KMN} is equal to the area A_{MNL}. This means that the segment from the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposite vertex forms two triangles with equal areas.
