There’s no figure with this post. How do you expect me to answer this question? That said, they are similar because they have a consistent scale factor for each side. Though they are similar, they are not congruent
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
length = l ;width = w
Perimeter of rectangle = sum of all sides
= l + w + l +w
= 2l + 2w
= 2*(l +w )
Factor out the gcf first.
3(4y^2-9)
The binomial inside is a perfect square so keep factoring.
3(2y+3)(2y-3)
The pair of binomials cannot be further factored so stop there.
We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
