Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle =L×W

Width =Area

$w idth= \frac{area \ }{length} \\ \\width = \frac{ {y}^{2} + 4y - 45}{y + 9} \\ \\ = \frac{(y - 5)(y + 9)}{(y + 9)} \\ \\ width = y - 5$

Answer:

The perimeter is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you turn this shape into a rectangle, the perimeter doesn't change.

The width is given, it is 7.5. The height is BC+DE = 3.5

Then the perimeter is twice the width plus twice the height:

7.5*2 + 3.5*2 = 15+7 = 22

Answer:

Yes, the triangles are simirar with a scale factor of 3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the scale factor by dividing corresponding sides:

ale4655 [162]

Shorter <span>piece = x
longer </span><span>piece = 4x

x + 4x = 48.5
5x = 48.5
x = 48.5/5
x = 9.7 cm </span>← shorter piece

longer piece = 4x = 4 * 9.7 = 38.8 cm
