Janeel has a 10-inch by 12-inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the result

Vaselesa [24]

Complete Question:

Janeel has a 10 inch by 12 inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the results by the same amount in each dimension to post on her Web site. Janeel wants the area of the image to be one eight of the original photograph. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image. Find the dimensions of the reduced image.

Correct Answer:

A) $(10-x)(12-x)=15$

B) Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image.

Let the reduced dimensions is by x , So the new dimensions are

$length=10-x\\breadth=12-x$

According to question , Area of new image is :

⇒ $Area = \frac{1}{8}Length(breadth)$

⇒ $Area = \frac{1}{8}(10)(12)$

⇒ $Area = 15$

So the equation will be :

⇒ $(10-x)(12-x)=15$

b. Find the dimensions of the reduced image

Let's solve : $(10-x)(12-x)=15$

⇒ $120-10x-12x+x^2=15$

⇒ $120-22x+x^2=15$

⇒ $x^2-22x+105=0$

By Quadratic formula :

⇒ $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

⇒ $x = \frac{22 \pm8 }{2}$

⇒ $x = \frac{22 +8 }{2} , x = \frac{22 -8 }{2}$

⇒ $x = 15 , x =7$

x = 15 is rejected ! as 15 > 10 ! Side can't be negative

⇒ $x =7$

Therefore, Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

Question 1

vivado [14]

Answer:

For Lin's answer

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a triangle, you can flip it along a side and join that side with the original triangle, so in this case the triangle has been flipped along the longest side and that longest side is now common in both triangles. Now since these are the same triangle the area remains the same.

Now the two triangles form a quadrilateral, which we can prove is a parallelogram by finding out that the opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal since the two triangles are the same(congruent), and they are also parallel as the alternate interior angles of quadrilateral are the same. So the quadrilaral is a paralllelogram, therefore the area of a parallelogram is bh which id 7 * 4 = 7*2=28 sq units.

Since we already established that the triangles in the parallelogram are the same, therefore their areas are also the same, and that the area of the parallelogram is 28 sq units, we can say that A(Q)+A(Q)=28 sq units, therefore 2A(Q)=28 sq units, therefore A(Q)=14 sq units, where A(Q), is the area of triangle Q.

6 inches because 24 is 3 times greater than 8, so you would do 18/3.
