You probably meant: "<span>utilize as much of the space AS POSSIBLE on the paper."
Set up and solve an equation of ratios:
3 8.5
---- = -------
5 x
Then 3x = 42.5. The image on the paper would be 8.5 by 42.5/3 inches, or 8.5 by 14.17 inches. Won't fit!!
So, try this instead:
</span> 3 x
---- = -------
5 11
Then 5x =33, and x = 6.6. An image with the same proportions as the 3x5 card will be 6.6 by 11 inches on the 8.5 by 11 inch paper.
Answer:
3n(n + 4) = 0
n = 0, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3n(n + 4) = 0
3n = 0
n = 0
n + 4 = 0
n = -4
Lets say she cuts squares of x by x in length.
Area of bottom will be (20 - 2x)(11 - 2x) = 80 inches squared
220 - 40x - 22x + 4x^2 = 80
4x^2 - 62x + 140 = 0
x^2 - 15.5x + 35 = 0
Using quadratic equation;
you get x = 2.743753901 0r 12.7562461 inches
The length of the square cannot be more than 11 inches
So the only squares you can cut are:
2.743753901 inches by 2.743753901 inches squares.
Answer:
-9m - 4 + 2m = -9 - 7m + 5
-7m - 4 = -7m - 4
-7m + 7m = -4 + 4
0 = 0
This is an identity solution because the same number equals the same number. That means there's an infinite set of solutions.
The answer is: You conclude that most squares are also rectangles.
Hope this helps!
