A rectangular enclosure at the zoo is 35 feet long by 18 feet wide. The zoo wants to double the area of the enclosure by adding the same distance x to the length and width. Write and solve an equation to find the value of x. What are the dimensions of the enclosure?

Answer:

a. x = 12

b. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a. RECTANGLE

ABCD is a rectangle, AC and BD are its diagonals.

Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.

Therefore,

AC = BD

10x + 8 = 9x + 20

10x - 9x = 20 - 8

x = 12

b. RHOMBUS

Diagonal of a rectangle bisect opposite angles.

Therefore,

(5x + 3)° = (2x + 15)°

5x + 3 = 2x + 15

5x - 2x = 15 - 3

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

The value of x for a rectangle will be 12.

The value of X for a rhombus is 4.

A basic quadrilateral containing two sets of side lengths is known as a parallelogram. There are four types of parallelograms each with diffrent kinds of properties.

a. RECTANGLE

ABCD is a rectangle, Therfore the diagonals that are made will also be equal.

AC = BD

[tex]10x +8 = 9x + 20\\10x - 9x = 20 - 8[/tex]

x = 12

b. RHOMBUS

As this is a rhombus that is presented, the angle which is divided with the help of the diagonal will both be equal.

5x + 3 = 2x + 15

5x - 2x = 15 - 3

Simplifying the equation,

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer:

The original length of each side of the equilateral triangle = x =15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Original length of side of equilateral triangle = x

If it is increased by 5 inches, the length will become = x+5

Since in equilateral triangle all the ides have same length so,

New Length of side 1 = x+5

New of side 2 = x+5

New Length of side 3 = x+5

Perimeter of triangle = 60 inches

We need to find the value of x

The formula used is: [tex]Perimeter=Length \ of \ side \ 1 \ + Length \ of \ side \ 2 \ + Length \ of \ side \ 3[/tex]

Putting values in formula and finding x

[tex]Perimeter=Length \ of \ side \ 1 \ + Length \ of \ side \ 2 \ + Length \ of \ side \ 3\\60=x+5+x+5+x+5\\60=3x+15\\60-15=3x\\45=3x\\x=\frac{45}{3}\\x=15[/tex]

So, the original length of each side of the equilateral triangle = x =15 inches

Answer:

18 months

Step-by-step explanation:

35,000÷18=1944

First, we need to figure out the amounts of months that Gerald has total, with all of the money.  So, we divide 35000 by 1400, this leaves us with 25.  So, if he keeps spending 1400 per month, it will last him 25 months, but this is not what the question asks, is it?  In 25 months, his inheritance will be fully depleted, in 24 months he will have spent 33,600 dollars, meaning he will have 1400 dollars left (35000 - (24 * 1400))and in 23 months, he will have spent 32,200 dollars, meaning that he will have 2800 dollars.  

"In 24 months he will have spent 33,600 dollars, meaning he will have 1400 dollars left 35000 - (24 * 1400)"

35000 - (24 * 1400)

The equation that can be used to represent the percentage change in the value of the house is:

(100x - 10%) + 3x% = 55.52%

90% + 3x = 55.52%

90% - 55.52% = 3x

34,48% = 3x

x = 34.48/3

Answer:

After translation:

Translation: (x, y)  →  (x-6, y-8)

W'X'Y'Z' = W'(-10, 0), X'(-10, -8), Y'(-18, -4), Z'(-14, 8)

After dilation:

Dilation: (x, y)  →  (2x, 2y), centered at (0, 0)

W''X''Y''Z'' = W'' (-20, 0), X'' (-8, 0) , Y'' (-24, 8), Z'' (-16, 32)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of the Quadrilateral WXYZ

As the rule of translation is given by

Translation: (x, y)  →  (x-6, y-8)

So, after the translation the vertices of Quadrilateral WXYZ will be translated as:

W(-4, 8)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-4-6, 8-8) = W'(-10, 0)

X(-4, 0)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-4-6, 0-8) = X'(-10, -8)

Y(-12, 4)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-12-6, 4-8) = Y'(-18, -4)

Z(-8, 16)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-8-6, 16-8) = Z'(-14, 8)

Therefore,

W'X'Y'Z' = W'(-10, 0), X'(-10, -8), Y'(-18, -4), Z'(-14, 8)

Next, the rule of dilation is given by

Dilation: (x, y)  →  (2x, 2y), centered at (0, 0)

W'(-10, 0)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-10), 2(0)) = W'' (-20, 0)  

X'(-4, 0)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-4), 2(0)) = X'' (-8, 0)

Y'(-12, 4)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-12), 2(4)) = Y'' (-24, 8)

Z'(-8, 16)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-8), 2(16)) = Z'' (-16, 32)

Therefore,

W''X''Y''Z'' = W'' (-20, 0), X'' (-8, 0) , Y'' (-24, 8), Z'' (-16, 32)
