Two rectangular picture frames have the same area of 45 square inches but have different side lengths. Frame A has a length of 6 inches, and Frame B has a length of 7 inches. 1. Without calculating, predict which frame has the shorter width. Explain your reasoning. 2. Find the width that you predicted to be shorter. Show your reasoning.

  1. the longer frame (B) has the shorter width

  2. the shorter width is 6 3/7 inches, area divided by length

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between area, length, and width is ...

  A = LW

Then the width is ...

  W = A/L . . . . .  inversely proportional to length

__

1. Since length and width are inversely proportional (when area is constant), the shorter width will be associated with the longer length. Frame B will have the shorter width.

__

2. The width of frame B is ...

  W = A/L = (45 in²)/(7 in) = 45/7 in = 6 3/7 in

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
