Question

Two rectangular rugs are ordered at Cardi’s furniture: small rugs and large rugs.

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) yes they are similar shapes, the width for both rugs is 1/2 of the length. This means that they are both similar in shape.

b.) 2:5 (perimeter rug 1 and 2 compared), 4:25 ( area for 1 and 2). The numers in the perimeter ratio are the square root of the numbers in the area ratio.

c.) You will need 648 sq in for the small rug and 4050 sq in for the large rug.

d.) 2:  she has to sell the large rugs x>$9 and the small rugs for s>$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

total perimeter for rug 1 = 108   For rug 2 = 270

area for run 1 = 648 For rug 2 = 4050

180 ft =  2150 in

The large rug needs two skeins of yarn which cost 9 dollars, if she wants to make a profit she will have to sell them over that price.

You can make 3 small rugs with one skein meaning if she wants to make a profit from the small rugs she has to sell them over 1/3 of the price of the skein (which is sold for $4.50). She will have to sell the small rug for over $1.50
