Draw the diameter from point (-1, -5) to point (2, 3).
The triangle has base 3 and height 8.
The diameter of the semicircle is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
The radius is half the diameter.
The total area is the area of the triangle plus the area of the semicircle.
The scale factor for math numbers are the numbers you multiply to get an anwser for its factor.
Ex: factor of 2 is 2,4,6,8 and so on with each number
Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs
We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.
1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.
1/3 ÷ 1/5
Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5
1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1
2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3
3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.
5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.
