A rectangle is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. If the length of the rectangle is increased by 25% and the width is decreased by 20%, what is the
change in the area of the rectangle?
The change in the area of the rectangle is
square feet

The change in the area of the rectangle is 0 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to calculate the area of the two rectangles that give us

first we have to know the formula to calculate the area of a rectangle

a = area

l = length  = 12ft

w = width = 5ft

a = l * w

we replace the known walues

a = 12ft * 5ft

a = 60ft²

we do the same with the other rectangle, but first we have to calculate its sides

w = 5ft - (5ft * 20/100)

w = 5ft - 1ft

w = 4ft

l = 12ft + (12ft * 25/100)

l = 12ft + 3ft

l = 15ft

a2 = 15ft * 4ft

a2 = 60ft²

to calculate the change in the area we subtract (a - a2)

a - a2 =

60ft² - 60ft² = 0ft²

answer: a video game has three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and expert. the game's scoring works in such a way that a player has to score a fixed number of points to advance to the next level, and then the scoring starts over. the total score needed to clear all three difficulty levels is 7,500. two times the number of points needed to clear the easy level is 500 more than the number of points needed to clear the medium level. twice the number of points needed to clear the medium difficulty level is 1,500 more than the number of points needed to clear the expert level. if x, y, and z represent the easy, medium, and expert levels, respectively, and a is the coefficient matrix of the system of equations modeling this situation, identify the inverse matrix, a-1, and the solution matrix, x, of the system of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
