A model of a sailing boat is made to the scale

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

20cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are talking of a linear scale ie 1 cm = 50 cm

So if the real yacht length is 10 meters(10,000 cm), then the model length will be 10000/50 = 200 cm

However, when talking about areas, the scale factor is different. We cannot simply divide 5m by 50

Let's say the sail height is 1 meter and the sail width is 5 meters which will give a sail area of 5 sqm.

The scaled height would be 100/50 = 2cm and scaled width will be 500/50 = 10 cm

So the area of the sail on the model will be 2 x 10 =200 square cm

In short, area of sail on model = (area of sail on real yacht( ÷ (50 x 50)

Since there are 10,000 square cm to 1 square meter we get the answer as 5 x 10000/2500 = 20 square cm

What two numbers multiply to 10 and add to -29 ?
Degger [83]
Xy=10
x+y=29

subtract x from both sides for second equation

y=-x-29
subsitute in second equaiton
x(-x-29)=10
-x^2-29x=10
add x^2+29x to both sides
x^2+29x+10=0
quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0,
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

so
x^2+29x+10=0
a=1
b=29
c=10
x=\frac{-29+/- \sqrt{(-29)^{2}-4(1)(10)} }{2(1)}
x= \frac{-29+/- \sqrt{841-40} }{2}
x= \frac{-29+/- \sqrt{801} }{2}
x= \frac{-29+/- 3\sqrt{89} }{2}

x= \frac{-29- 3\sqrt{89} }{2} or \frac{-29+ 3\sqrt{89} }{2}
those are the 2 numbers
aprox=-28.65 and -0.349
