Charlene is a video game designer and wants to make sure that her games can be played on all types of screens. In order for the

games to work on both devices with a standard aspect ratio and those with widescreen aspect ratios, the playable area of the games should have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This means that the width is equal to times the height. On one type of tablet, the playable area of the game on the screen is 54 square inches. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the dimensions of the playable area. A. The playable area has a width of 13.5 inches and a height of 9 inches. B. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. C. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Answer:

The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²

B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio

C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement

D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

w/h = 3/2

wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches

Answer:

D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the playable area is 54 and that such ratio of dimensions is 3:2

Then we are basically being asked to find the factor of ratios below that also multiply to get 54

54 = 9 x 6 and this is also a ratio of 3:2

As 3(3 + 2) = 54

and as width was asked first when ratio was given 3:2

The width therefore is 9 and the height is 6

So answer is D

Answer:

18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by

A = l*w

144 = 8w

Divide each side by 8

144/8 =w

18 =w

Find the area of the irregular figure. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure = Area of semicircle + area of rectangle

Area of semicircle:

d = 14 mm

r = 14/2 = 7 mm

Area = (1/2)πr²

=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{22}{7}*7*7\\

=11 *7

= 77 mm²

Area of rectangle:

length = 14 mm

Width = 10 mm

Area = length *width

       = 14 * 10

       = 140 mm²

Area of the figure = 77 + 140 = 217 mm²
