Answer:

The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:

Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet

Number of students = 13

2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:

4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)

9/2 * 13 = 117/2

117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet

3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:

4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)

(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)

(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2

52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet

An entity with two multivalued attributes will be mapped as how many relations

grigory [225]

There are so many relationships between the original entity and new relation.
The relation mapped from an entity involved in a 1:1 unary relationship contains a foreign key that correspond to its own primary key. 1 to one foreign key will be unique.

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 174 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 45 ft longer than th

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

21 ft by 66 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1

Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.

If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,

L = 45+W............ Equation 2

Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(45+W+W)

P = 90+4W............. Equation 3

Given: P = 174 ft.

Substitute into equation 3

174 = 90+4W

4W = 174-90

4W = 84

W = 84/4

W = 21 ft.

Substituting the value of W into equation 2

L = 45+21

L = 66 ft.

Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft

The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−5, 7) .

adell [148]

Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12

After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3

The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
