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

The smaller triangle was dilated to form the larger triangle. What is the value of x?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The value of x is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x is 14 because the smaller triangle was dilated by 3 to get the bigger triangle. I figured this out because

9 ÷ 3 = 3

so this would mean that 5 was dilated by 3 also. So to figure this out, it would be

5 × 3 = 15

1 of that 15 is already there.

So this means that

15-1=14

A=14

I hope this helps you.

If f(x)=-3x+3, then f-1(x)=​
olganol [36]

Answer: f^{-1}(x) = 3-x/3

Step-by-step explanation: Let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject, that is...

1. y = - 3x + 3 ( add 3x to both sides )

2. 3x + y = 3 ( subtract y from both sides )

3. 3x = 3 - y ( divide both sides by 3 )

4. x = 3-y/3

Change x back into terms of y

f^{-1}(x) = 3-x/3

he graph of f(x) = |x| is stretched by a factor of 0.3 and translated down 4 units. Which statement about the domain and range o
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Out of the four, the only statement true about the parent and the transformed function is:

"The domain of the transformed function and the parent function are all real numbers."

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

f(x) = |x|

Applying transformations:

1. Stretched by a factor of 0.3:

f(x) = 3|x|

2. Translated down 4 units:

f(x) = 3|x| - 4

Transformed function:

f(x) = 3|x| - 4

We can see that:

Range of the parent function = All real numbers greater than or equal to 0.

Range of the transformed function = All real numbers greater than or equal to -4.

Domain of the parent and the transformed function is same and equal to all real numbers.

Hence, the first three statements are wrong and the fourth one is true.

Dima020 [189]
So pythagrorean theorem is the ideal way and easiest way to solve this

a^2+b^2=c^2

8.5^2+11^2=x^2
72.25+121=193.25
square root of 193.25=13.9014 or 13.9 in


9.5^2+15^2=x^2
90.25+225=315.25
square root of 315.25=17.7553 or 17.8 ft
