Answer:

  a) w(4w-15)

  b) w²

  c) w(4w -15) = w²

  d) w = 5

  e) 5 by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.

  A = w(4w -15)

__

b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:

  A = w²

__

c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...

  w(4w -15) = w²

__

d) we can subtract the right side to get ...

  4w² -15w -w² = 0

  3w(w -5) = 0

This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.

The side length of the square is 5 units.

__

e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.

The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.

Let A be the set of all lines in the plane. Define a relation R on A as follows. For every l1 and l2 in A, l1 R l2 ⇔ l1 is paral
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Hence, the relation R is a reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation.

Given :

A be the set of all lines in the plane and R is a relation on set A.

R=\{l_1,l_2\in A|l_1 \;\text{is parallel to}\; l_2\}

To find :

Which type of relation R on set A.

Explanation :

A relation R on a set A is called reflexive relation if every a\in A then (a,a)\in R.

So, the relation R is a reflexive relation because a line always parallels to itself.

A relation R on a set A is called Symmetric relation if (a,b)\in R then (b,a)\in R for all a,b\in A.

So, the relation R is a symmetric relation because if a line l_1 is parallel to the line l_2 the always the line l_2 is parallel to the line l_1.

A relation R on a set A is called transitive relation if (a,b)\in R and (b,c)\in R then (a,c)\in R for all a,b,c\in A.

So, the relation R is a transitive relation because if a line l_1 s parallel to the line l_2 and the line l_2 is parallel to the line l_3 then the always line l_1 is parallel to the line l_3.

Therefore the relation R is a reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation.
