Two rectangles are similar. if the height of the first rectangle is 3 inches, and the height of the second rectangle is 9 inches, how much longer is the second rectangle's perimeter? 3 times as long 6 times as long 9 times as long 6 inches longer

Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles are similar. Height of one rectangle is 3 inches and height of second rectangle is 9 inches.

Let width of rectangles are x inches and y inches.

Then width of the second rectangle will be in the same ratio as of their heights.

⇒ x =

Now perimeter of first rectangle P₁ = 3 + 3 + x + x  = 2x + 6

Perimeter of second rectangle P₂ = 9 + 9 + y + y = 18 + 2y

Ratio of P₁ and P₂ =

                             =   [as ]

                            =

                            =

Ratio of P₁ and P₂ = () ⇒ P₂ = 3P₁

Therefore, Option a is the answer.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
