Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A varies directly as l and w then the equation relating them is

A = klw ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition A = 60, l = 15 and w = 4 , then

60 = k × 15 × 4 = 60k ( divide both sides by 60 )

1 = k

A = lw ← equation of variation

Answer: The length is 6 feet and the width is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: The question has specified the area as 60 (square feet) and the length and width are yet unknown. However we know that the length is 4 feet less than the width. What this means is that, if the width is W, then the length is W - 4.

We can now write an equation for the area of the rectangle as follows;

Area = L x W

60 = (W - 4) x W

60 = W^2 - 4W

If we rearrange all terms on one side of the equation, we now have

W^2 - 4W - 60 = 0

This is a quadratic equation and by factorizing, we now have

(W + 6) (W - 10) = 0

Hence,

Either W + 6 = 0 and then W = -6

Or W - 10 = 0 and then W = 10

We know that the side of the rectangle cannot be a negative value, so we go with W = 10.

Having calculated W as 10, the length now becomes

L = W - 4

L = 10 - 4

L = 6

Therefore, length = 6 feet and width = 10 feet

Answer:

Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.

Select all values equivalent to -10/7<br> -10/-7<br> -3 1/7<br> 1 3/7<br> - -10/-7<br> -1 3/7
Kitty [74]
We know that

case 1) -10/-7-----> 10/7-------> is not <span>equivalent to -10/7

case 2) </span>-3 1/7----> (-3*7+1)/7----> -20/7 ------> is not equivalent to -10/7

case 3) 1 3/7-----> (1*7+3)/7----> 10/7 ------> is not equivalent to -10/7

case 4) - -10/-7---> +10/-7----> -10/7------>  is equivalent to -10/7

case 5) -1 3/7----> (-1*7+3)/7----> -4/7 ------> is not equivalent to -10/7

the answer is
- -10/-7

The area of the front side of the toy building is 1 square foot. The real building's
Brilliant_brown [7]
The ratio or the relationship of the toy to the large building is one foot to every 400 feet so in mathematical terms it’s shown as a ratio like this... 400:1 and since they are asking about the real building as the primary reason for the ratio it’s number goes first because they are enquiring about it’s relationship to the small one.(which is worded weirdly so I think they are trying to get you messed up)
Good luck
