step-by-step explanation: hope u get it right

step-by-step explanation:

rectangles are made up of 4 right angles, which means that a side and a base meet perpendicular to one another.   their slopes then have to reflect perpendicular slopes.   perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another.   for example, if the slope of one line is +2/3, then the perpendicular slope to that would be -3/2.   so we look for that combination in our choices.

all of them satisfy that condition (so what's the question, i guess? )

hi williamspatsy,

to find the answer we need to divide. so, 22.2(22 1/5)/8.5(8 1/2) = 2.6176470588 but, the question is asking how many full batches can she make so, that would be only 2.

hope this !
