Let us assume for starters that it is true.
The area of the square is s^2, so that is where you start.
(1 + 2*sqrt(2) ) ^2 = 1 + 4*sqrt(2) + 8 Taking 1 away form that does not leave you with 8.
Let's start again.
If all sides are reduced by 1 , but the square is retained, then the length of the side is 2sqrt(2). Now we have
s^2 = (2sqrt(2) )^2 = 4 * 2 = 8
The question is really not worded clearly enough to give an answer. I think it's true, but the language has to be twisted a bit.
Answer: I'd answer true, but don't be surprised if it is not interpreted the way I did on my second try.
2|y+ 3| = 8
|y+3| = 4
y = 1, 7 or -7
hope this helps
C
Because .75 times 9 would give you the price of the books and then you would have to add C, the amount left to get to 20.
Answer:
Mike is not right
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z----> the scale factor
x----> surface area of the enlarged rectangular prism
y-----> surface area of the original rectangular prism

so
In this problem we have

substitute



so
The surface area of the enlarged rectangular prism is 4 times the surface area of the original rectangular prism
therefore
Mike is not right
<em>Verify with an example</em>
we have a rectangular prism



The surface area of the prism is equal to

substitute the values

If he doubles each dimension of any rectangular prism
then
the new dimensions will be



The new surface area will be


therefore
The surface area of the enlarged rectangular prism is 4 times the surface area of the original rectangular prism
