Answer: The area of rectangle WXYZ is 18 square inches
Step-by-step explanation: Since both rectangles are similar, then lines AD and BC has a common ratio with lines WZ and XY. If line line AD is 10 inches, and line XY is 5 inches, then the ratio of similarity is given as
Ratio = 10/5
Ratio = 2/1 (or 2:1)
However rectangle ABCD has its area as 70 square inches, which means the other side is given as
Area = L x W
70 = 10 x W
70/10 = W
7 = W
Therefore the width of the other rectangle is determined as,
10/5 = 7/W
10W = 5 x 7
10W = 35
Divide both sides of the equation by 10
W = 3.5
Having calculated the width of the other rectangle as 3.5, the area is now determined as
Area = L x W
Area = 5 x 3
Area = 17.5
Rounded off to the nearest integer, the area equals 18 square inches
9 x 2 = 18
6 x 3 = 18
and 18 x 1 = 18
The answer is 7 multiple by 10 =70
Answer:
x= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(7 x)/10 = 14
Multiply both sides of (7 x)/10 = 14 by 10/7:
(10×7 x)/(7×10) = 10/7×14
10/7×7/10 = (10×7)/(7×10):
(10×7)/(7×10) x = 10/7×14
10/7×14 = (10×14)/7:
(10×7 x)/(7×10) = (10×14)/7
(10×7 x)/(7×10) = (7×10)/(7×10)×x = x:
x = (10×14)/7
14/7 = (7×2)/7 = 2:
x = 10×2
10×2 = 20:
Answer: x = 20
