Answer:

Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The area of the pen is 150 ft²

Assuming that the length of the pen is x, then the breadth of the pen will be 24 - x

Area = length * breadth

Area = x (24 - x)

Area = 24x - x²

24x - x² = 150

x² - 24x + 150 = 0

Using general quadratic formula, we have

[-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/ 2a

Where

a = 1

b = -24

c = 150

On solving the equation, we get a number in the complex form of "i", and not a real number. As such, it's not possible for the 24 feet to enclose the area

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed by a reflection over x = −3 and dilation by a scale factor of 3 from the origin. Which equation shows
Allisa [31]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Each segment in ΔA"B"C" is 3 times the length of the corresponding segment in ΔABC. This is due to the dilation by a scale factor of 3.

Then you have ...

  \overline{A''B''}=3\overline{AB}\quad\text{or}\\\\\dfrac{\overline{AB}}{\overline{A''B''}}=\dfrac{1}{3}

The latter relation matches the second choice.
