Arectangle that is 8 centimeters long has an area of 100 square centimeters. a similar rectangle has an area of 16 square centimeters. what is the width of the smaller rectangle

The width of the smaller rectangle is 5 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the smaller rectangle

y ----> the area of the larger rectangle

we have

substitute

square root both sides

step 2

Find the width of the larger rectangle

we know that the area is equal to

we have

substitute

step 3

Find the width of the smaller rectangle

To find out the width of the smaller rectangle, multiply the width of the larger rectangle by the scale factor

so

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
