Answer:

The perimeter is multiplied by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with sides l and w is given by:

$P = 2(l + w)$

The side lengths of a rectangle are all multiplied by 5.

This means that $l = 5l, w = 5w$ . So

$P_M = 2(5l + 5w) = 2*5(l+w) = 10(l + w)$

What happens to its perimeter?

The rate is:

$\frac{P_M}{P} = \frac{10(l+w)}{2(l+w)} = 5$

The perimeter is multiplied by 5.

an isosceles triangle has a vertex angle of 21.21 degrees. two sides of the triangle are each 17.91 ft long. whats the area of t

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The area of triangle is $A=58.02\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

B -----> the measure of the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle ABC

a and c -----> the two congruent sides of the isosceles triangle ABC

we know that

The area of a triangle applying the law of sines is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(c)sin(B)$

we have

$a=c=17.91\ ft$

$B=21.21\°$

substitute in the formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}(17.91)(17.91)sin(21.21\°)$

$A=58.02\ ft^{2}$

in 1930 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline was $0.25. in 2007 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline is $2.60 what is

AlekseyPX

Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
