Answer:

The length of PQ is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you flip triangle PQR upside down the you can see which side corresponds to which. BC corresponds to QR and AB with PQ, the scalar is 6 because of BC (2) times 6 = QR (12). So you just have to do 4 times 6 which is 24.

The width of a rectangle is 75% the length of the rectangle. the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 inches. a circle is drawn that

matrenka [14]

Answer:

x = 56.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are in the ratio 3:4, so those together with the diagonal of the rectangle make a 3-4-5 right triangle. The sum of these adjacent-side ratio units is 3+4 = 7, so the perimeter in ratio units is 2×7 = 14. The actual perimeter is 42 inches, so each ratio unit must stand for ...

(42 in)/(14 units) = 3 in/unit

The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. Its length is 5 units, or ...

(5 units)×(3 in/unit) = 15 inches.

Then the radius is half the diameter, or 7.5 inches.

The area of a circle is given by ...

A = πr² = π(7.5 in)² = 56.25π in²

The value of x is 56.25.
