A model of a sailing boat is made to the scale

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago

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

a bank teller. helps two customers omar makes a $15 withdrawal so he balance changes by -$15. jakes makes a $10 deposit so his b
kifflom [539]

Answer:

D. Omar's transaction involves more money, because |-15| is greater than |10|.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is simply the magnitude or numerical value of a number while ignoring any sign attached to it. For example, given that x is a real number, absolute value of x, |x| = x. The absolute value of x does not take account of any sign attached to it.

Thus:

The absolute value of Omar's transaction is given as |-15| = 15.

While that of Jake is |10| = 10.

15 is greater than 10.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

"Omar's transaction involves more money, because |-15| is greater than |10|."
