We are tasked to solve for the area of the new rectangle. The formula of solving area of the rectangle is A = width * length

Old triangle Area = 384 m² = w * l
New triangle Area we have:
Area = w * 0.75l
384 m² = w*0.75l
384 / 0.75 = w*l
288 m² = w*l

The answer is 288 m².

Answer: $216\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has an area of 384 m².

Let l and w are the length and the width of the original rectangle, such that the area of the rectangle is given by ;-

$A=lw=384$

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 0.75 will be:

$l'=0.75l\\\\w'=0.75w$

Now, the area of the new rectangle will be :

$A=l'w'=0.75l\times0.75w\\\\=(0.75)^2(lw)\\\\=(0.5625)(384)=216\ m^2$

Hence, the area of the new rectangle $=216\ m^2$

Answer: The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32 and common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

$a_n=a+(n-10)d.$
