Answer: The area of rectangle WXYZ is 18 square inches
Step-by-step explanation: Since both rectangles are similar, then lines AD and BC has a common ratio with lines WZ and XY. If line line AD is 10 inches, and line XY is 5 inches, then the ratio of similarity is given as
Ratio = 10/5
Ratio = 2/1 (or 2:1)
However rectangle ABCD has its area as 70 square inches, which means the other side is given as
Area = L x W
70 = 10 x W
70/10 = W
7 = W
Therefore the width of the other rectangle is determined as,
10/5 = 7/W
10W = 5 x 7
10W = 35
Divide both sides of the equation by 10
W = 3.5
Having calculated the width of the other rectangle as 3.5, the area is now determined as
Area = L x W
Area = 5 x 3
Area = 17.5
Rounded off to the nearest integer, the area equals 18 square inches
For this equation its the same as simplifying any other equation -Simplify both sides of the equation then isolate the variable- Easy then once you've do so the answer should be
<u>x = 
</u>
At first, we need to find x.
QR = LN
2x+1 = 3x-7
x=8
Substitute value of a=8 into QR = 2x+1.
QR = 2*8+1 = 17
QR =17
A. Area = ½b × h
= ½ × 16 × 9
= 72
B. Area = b × h
= 26 × 18
= 468
C. Area = a²
= 11²
= 121
D. Area = ½(a+b) × h
= ½(6+21) × 8
= 108
Hope this helps :)
