Answer:

Area of the rectangle(A) is given by:

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A rectangle has an area of 72 in²

⇒A = 72 in²

then;

It is given that:

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.

Length of new rectangle become = 3.5l

Width of new rectangle become = 3.5 w

then;

Area of new rectangle = (Length of new rectangle)(Width of new rectangle)

⇒Area of new rectangle = (3.5l)(3.5w) =12.25(lw)

Substitute the given values we have;

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is, 882 in²

The following two sets of parametric functions both represent the same ellipse. Explain the difference between the graphs.

statuscvo [17]

The answer
ellipse main equatin is as follow:

X²/ a² + Y²/ b² =1, where a≠0 and b≠0

for the first equation: x = 3 cos t and y = 8 sin t
we can write x² = 3² cos² t and y² = 8² sin² t
and then x² /3²= cos² t and y²/8² = sin² t
therefore, x² /3²+ y²/8² = cos² t + sin² t = 1
equivalent to x² /3²+ y²/8² = 1

for the second equation, x = 3 cos 4t and y = 8 sin 4t we found
x² /3²+ y²/8² = cos² 4t + sin² 4t=1

3/7 of 8th graders play sports. is 3/5 of the 8th graders that play sports are boys, what fraction of the 8th graders are boys

Svetach [21]

Answer:

$\dfrac{9}{35}$ is the fraction of 8th graders who are boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of 8th graders = $x$

Given that, $\frac{3}{7}$ of 8th graders play sports

$\Rightarrow$ 8th graders who play sports = $\frac{3}{7} \times x$

Also, Given that, $\frac{3}{5}$ of 8th graders that play sports are boys

Number of 8th graders that play sports, and are boys = $\frac{3}{5} \times \text{Number of 8th graders who play sports}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{3}{7} \times x\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{35} \times x$

Hence, the answer is:

$\dfrac{9}{35}$ is the fraction of 8th graders who are boys.

Write 6/9 in simplest form

elena-s [515]

First find numbers that the denominator and the numerator can both be divided with. Such as 3, now 6/3=2 and 9/3=3. So basically it is 2/3. 6/9 simplify to 2/3.
