Answer:

length = 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A(rect) = 9l

A(trap) = 1/2(9)(24+12)  →  4.5(36)  → 162

9l = 162

l = 162/9

l = 18

<h3>Answer:  18 feet</h3>

=====================================================

How to get the answer:

We first need to compute the area of the trapezoid

area of trapezoid = height*(base1+base2)/2

A = h*(b1+b2)/2

A = 9*(12+24)/2

A = 9*(36/2)

A = 9*18

A = 162

The trapezoid has an area of 162 square feet.

---------

The rectangle also has an area of 162 sq ft.

area of rectangle = length*width

A = L*W

A/W = L

L = A/W

L = 162/9

L = 18

The length of the rectangle is 18 feet.

---------

Side note: both rectangle and trapezoid have the same height (9 feet). Notice how the average of the 12 ft and 24 ft sides leads to 18 ft, which is exactly the value of L. It's not a coincidence these two facts line up.

The biggest possible area is one that is as close to a square as possible.

20 ÷ 4 = 5 feet

5 x 5 = 25 ft²

The biggest area is 25 ft² with its length and width at 5 feet.

Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is the same as the ratio of the perimeters.

Just like one side (15 ft) of triangle ABC is 3 times as long as the corresponding side (5 ft) of triangle DEF, the perimeter of triangle ABC is also 3 times the perimeter of triangle DEF.

15/5 = x/12

3 = x/12

x = 36

Answer: 36 ft

18x + 15y = 180

15y = -18X + 180

Y= -18/15x + 12

Allushta [10]
<span>The three equations can be written as 1) y = 2x - 5 ; 2) y = 2x - 3 and ;3) y = 2x + 5. Now, the slope can be found by slop intercept form of linear equation i.e. y = mx+b where m is the slope. From the above equations, we can see that all the the three have the same slope i.e. m = 2.</span>
