Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

•21x=3·7·x;

•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

A rectangle has an area of 20 cm^2. What will the area be if the rectangle tripled in size?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

  180 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar figures the ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions.

We take "tripled in size" to mean that the linear dimensions of the larger rectangle are 3 times those of the smaller rectangle. That means the area of the larger rectangle will be 3² = 9 times the area of the smaller one.

  Area = (3²)(20 cm²) = 180 cm² . . . . area after tripled in size

A construction worker needs to put lights on a pole 420 centimeters off the ground. How many meters off the ground do the lights
evablogger [386]

Answer:

4.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The height that the lights will be put is 420 centimeters, and the question asks how many meters off the ground the lights need to be placed, so to solve the question we just need to convert 420 centimeters to meters.

We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so we can solve this using a rule of three:

100 centimeters -> 1 meter

420 centimeters -> X meters

100/420 = 1/X

X = 420/100 = 4.2 meters

The lights need to be placed on the pole at 4.2 meters off the ground.
