Answer:

Read below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression "BA to the length of MA" is probably part of the expression "the length of BA to the length of MA" and is a ratio.

A proportion is setting two ratios equal.

If two triangles are similar, then the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. That means that the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

For example, let's say you are given triangles ABC and XYZ, and you are told that triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ.

By the order of the letters in ABC and XYZ, you can conclude that

side AB corresponds to side XY

side AC corresponds to side XZ

side BC corresponds to side YZ

Since the lengths of corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so you can further conclude that

the length of AB is to the length of XY as

the length of AC is to the length of XZ as

the length of BC is to the length of YZ

Mathematically, you can write the previous three lines as the proportion

AB/XY = AC/XZ = BC/YZ

2. The width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length. If the area is 150 square units, then find the dimensions of the re

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The length = x = 15 units

The width = x-5 = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the length of a rectangle

As the width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length.

so

width of rectangle will be = w = x - 5 units

Area = 150 square units

Using the formula

Area = length × width

$150=\left(x\right)\left(x-5\right)$

$150=x^2-5x$

$x^2-5x=150$

Subtract 50 from both sides

$x^2-5x-150=150-150$

$x^2-5x-150=0$

$\left(x+10\right)\left(x-15\right)=0$

if

$ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

$x+10=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-15=0$

$x=-10,\:x=15$

As length can not be negative. so

x = 15 units

Hence,

The length = x = 15 units

The width = x-5 = 15-5 = 10 units

1) g(n)= 3n - 4; Find g(-3)

nalin [4]

Answer:

g(-3) = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in -3 for n in the equation:

g(n) = 3n - 4

g(-3) = 3(-3) - 4

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply, then subtract:

g(-3) = 3 * -3 = -9

g(-3) = -9 - 4

g(-3) = -13

-13 is your answer for g(-3).
