Answer:

Length of A: 9

Width of A: 6

Length of B: 9

Width of B: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the diagram, you can see that the length of rectangles A and B are the same, and are also the same as they were in the original square. We can find the length of each side by finding the square root of the area of the square to give us the length and width of the square which is 9. Now that we know that the length of both rectangles A and B, we can find the width of both rectangles by taking 9, and splitting it into 3 portions of 3. Since the ratio of area is 2:1, we could also do this with the area, but since we know the lengths are the same, we know the widths are proportional to the area. Using the ratio of 2:1, and the 3 portions of 3, you can combine 2 of these portions to get 6, and since the ratio 6:3 is proportional to 2:1, these measurements can be used as the width of each rectangle. Thus, the answer given above.

Can someone please write this as a single logarithm and show work please and thank you

Answer:

$log_b(w^3y^4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the expression as a single logarithm, or condense it, use the properties of logarithms.

1) The power property of logarithms states that $log_ax^r = rlog_ax$ . In other words, the exponent within a logarithm can be brought out in front so it's multiplied by the logarithm. This means that the number in front of the logarithm can also be brought inside the logarithm as an exponent.

So, in this case, we can move the 3 and the 4 inside the logarithms as exponents. Apply this property as seen below:

$3log_bw+4log_by\\=log_bw^3+log_by^4$

2) The product property of logarithms states that $log_axy = log_ax+log_ay$ . In other words, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. So, in this case, write the expression as a single logarithm by taking the log (keep the same base) of the product of $w^3$ and $y^4$ . Apply the property as seen below and find the final answer.
