Answer:

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm

Which is the graph of the given function?
Schach [20]

ANSWER

The correct choice is A.

EXPLANATION

The given cosine function is:

f(t) = 2 \cos( - 4t)

This function has an amplitude of 2.

Hence it must have range,

-2≤f(t)≤2

It has a period of

\frac{\pi}{2}

Hence the function must complete one cycle on the interval,

[0,½π],

[½π,π],

etc.

The negative sign shows a reflection in the y-axis but since the cosine function is even, the function retraces itself.

The correct choice is A

Sissy wants to enlarge a picture of a princess so that she can put it on the wall in her daughter’s room. What will be the area
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

= 486 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear scale factor = Image distance/object distance

Therefore; Linear scale factor = OL'/OL

                                                 = 54/ 12

                                                 = 9/2

Area scale factor is equivalent to the square of linear scale factor

Thus;

Area scale factor = (9/2)²

                             = 81/4

Hence; 81/4 = Area of larger rectangle/Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the smaller rectangle = 4 ×6 = 24 in²

Therefore;

Area of enlarged or larger pic = 81/4× 24

                                                  <u>= 486 in²</u>
