The screen at Dallas' AT&T Stadium is 175 feet wide. A movie theatre screen with
1 answer:
Answer:
17150 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of sides = a : b , then
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here ratio of sides = 175 : 40 = 35 : 8 , then
ratio of areas = 35² : 8² = 1225 : 64
let x be the area of AT & T Stadium then by proportion
=
( cross- multiply )
64x = 896 × 1225 = 1097600 ( divide both sides by 64 )
x = 17150
The AT & T screen has an area of 17150 ft²

Let's call the width of our rectangle and the length
. We can say
, since the length is equal to 4 cm greater than the width.
Also remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of two times the width and two times the length, or . To solve this problem, we can substitute in the information we know, as shown below:
Now, we can substitute in the width we found into the formula for length, which is :
The width of our rectangle is cm and the length of our rectangle is
Answer:
The lines are parallel, with the same slope of 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that if slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel. If the slopes are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular. If they are neither of those cases, then they would be neither.
1) Since y = 5x + 1 is already in slope-intercept format (y = mx + b, in which m represents the slope) we know that 5 is the slope of that equation.
2) To find the slope of -5x + y = 6, let's just convert it to the slope-intercept format by isolating y on the left side like so:
(All you need to do is move -5x to the right side of the equation.) So, by looking at y = 5x + 6, we can do the same thing we did from step 1 and find that the slope is 5.
3) Since both of the equations' slopes are 5, they share the same slope - therefore, they are parallel.
