Could someone help me please?

Mathematics

Answer:

a. 7.2

b. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side lengths of similar polygons are proportional to each other, therefore:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Thus, let's find b using:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15}

Cross multiply

b*15 = 10*9

15b = 90

Divide both sides by 15

b = 6

Let's find a using:

\frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Cross multiply

9*12 = 15*a

108 = 15a

Divide both sides by 15

a = 7.2

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the perimeter is 72 meters, find the length and width of the rectangle
madam [21]
Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.

write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,4) and (6,9) and figure out what y=mx+b for this equation woul
jeka57 [31]
Hello there! So, y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept, and y and x remain unfilled. First off, let's solve for the slope. The formula for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y coordinates from the second x and y coordinates. So it would be formed like this:

9 - 4 / 6 - (-4)

Let's subtract. 9 - 4 is 5. 6 - (-4) is 10. 5/10 is 1/2 in simplest form. The slope for this equation is 1/2. Now, let's find the y-intercept. We will find that by plugging one of the points into the equation and solving for b. The x and y coordinates will be filled in by that coordinate. Let's use (-4, 4) for this problem. We will also plug in the slope. In this case, the problem will look like this:

4 = (1/2)(-4) + b

Now, let's multiply 1/2 and -4 to get -2. Now, to get b by itself, subtract 2 to both sides to isolate the b. -2 + 2 cancels out. 4 + 2 is 6. b = 6. There. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 1/2x + 6.
