Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

the scale of a map is 0.5 inch : 40 miles. On the map, the distance between 2 cities is 5 inches. What is the actual distance be
kolbaska11 [484]

This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

This diagram shows a pre-image △ABC , and its image, △A′′B′′C′′ , after a series of transformations.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

△ABC is first reflected across the line y=x, then reflected across the x-axis.  Since the transformations are rigid, △ABC ≅ △A''B''C''.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing △ABC and △A'B'C', we see that the x- and y-coordinates have been switched.  This describes a reflection across the line y=x.

Comparing △A'B'C' and △A''B''C'', we see that the y-coordinates have been negated.  This describes a reflection across the x-axis.

Reflections are called rigid transformations.  This is because they preserve congruence and shape.  Since congruence is preserved, △ABC ≅ △A''B''C''.

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=−14x−3 through the point (4,4). A. y=x+5 B. y=−14x+5 C. y=5x+1 D.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

None of the answers seem to be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is of the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here, m = -14

Two parallel lines have the same slope. So, the slope of the new line will be -14.

To calculate the y-intercept substitute x=4 and y=4 in the equation.

4 = (-14)(4) + b

Solving for b, we get b = 60.

So, the new equation will be y = -14x + 60
