On the coordinate plane below, quadrilaterals TRAP and HELP are similar to each other. The existing dimensions of TRAP are increased and as a result, the original area of the quadrilateral is doubled. Consider the changes in the area of TRAP and determine the new ratio of the areas of TRAP to HELP.
A. 4:1
B. 32:1
C. 16:1
C. 8:1

Quadrilateral TRAP has an area that is one-fourth the area of quadrilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the answer is ann
