Answer: 7.5
Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.
Length of ABCD Length of QRST
----------------------- = -------------------------
Width of ABCD Width of QRST
8/5 = 12/x
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5
Answer:
96 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached photo.
My answer:
- The length of the large rectangle is: 5
- The width of the large rectangle is: 7
=> Area of the large rectangle = length × width = 7*5 = 35 square units
- The length of the middle rectangle is: 7
- The width of the middle rectangle is: 4
=> Area of the middle rectangle = length × width = 7*4 = 28 square units
- The length of the small rectangle is: 7
- The width of the small rectangle is: 3
=> Area of the small rectangle = length × width = 7*3 = 21 square units
Area of top and the bottom triangles =2* 
Total surface area = 35 + 28 + 21 + 12 = 96 square units
To find the contrapositive, you negate the hypothesis and the conclusion of the statement, and then switch their positions in the statement such that the conclusion becomes the hypothesis and vice versa:
If two variables are directly proportional, then their graph is a linear function.
If two variables are not directly protional, then their graph is not a linear function.
Assume N students
Student 1 can get (n-1) papers
Student 2 can get (n-1) papers
Student 3 can get (n-1) papers
etc
Student N can get (n-1) papers
So for N students you can have N(n-1)
4x-2x=-10+2
2x=-8
x=-8/2
x=-4
