Two rectangles have corresponding sides in the ratio of 3 : 4. the larger rectangle has one side measuring 6 inches. what is the measure of the corresponding side in the smaller rectangle? a. 4.5 in c. 12 in b. 8 in d. 18 in

Big Rectangle : Small Rectangle = 4 : 3

4 parts = 6 inches

1 part = 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5 inches

3 parts = 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 inches

Corresponding side of the smaller rectangle is 4.5 in (A)

step-by-step explanation:

a rhombus is a parallelogram enjoying his symmetry.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
