A scale drawing of a rectangle is made by using a scale factor of StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction. The original and the scale

drawing are shown below. A rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 12 inches. [Not drawn to scale] Which method can be used to find the dimensions of the original rectangle? 18 minus StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 17 and StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction inches and 12 minus StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 11 and StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction inches StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction divided by 18 = StartFraction 5 over 144 EndFraction inches and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction divided by 12 = StartFraction 5 over 96 EndFraction inches 18 times StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 11 and one-fourth inches and 12 times StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 7 and one-half inches 18 divided by StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 28 and four-fifths inches and 12 divided by StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 19 and one-fifth inches

length of the original rectangle is 28.8 inches.

width of the original rectangle is 19.2 inches.

<h3>How to find the dimensions of the original rectangle?</h3>

given that the scale factor is

\frac{5}{8}

multiply the dimensions of original rectangle by 5/8 to obtain the dimensions of the scale drawing.

the following method is useful to find the dimensions of the original rectangle.

length of the original rectangle

\frac{8}{5}  \times 18 = 28.8 \: inches

width of the original rectangle\frac{8}{5}  \times 12 = 19.2 \: inches

A building makes a 90° angle with the ground. A ladder leans against the building, making a 110° exterior angle with the ground.
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

A building makes a 90^{\circ} angle with the ground .The two interior angles are 70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

<u>Solution: </u>

Given, a ladder which is against the building wall makes an exterior angle of 110^{\circ}

And building makes a  90^{\circ} angle with the ground.

So, altogether it makes a right angle triangle with ladder as hypotenuse and ground as base leg and building as another leg.  

Now, we know that, sum of exterior angles and interior angles equals to 180^{\circ}

Here, in the case of ground and ladder, exterior angle is 110^{\circ} and interior angle is unknown.

Exterior angle + interior angle = 180

110 + interior angle = 180

Interior angle = 180 – 110

Interior angle = 70^{\circ}

We have found one of the two interior angles of right angle triangle.

We know that, sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degree

Known Interior angle + unknown interior angle + right angle = 180

70 + unknown interior angle + 90 = 180

Unknown interior angle + 160 = 180

Unknown interior angle = 180 - 160

Unknown interior angle = 20^{\circ}

Hence the two interior angles are  70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

Are the triangles similar? Justify your answer​
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide all the sides of the larger triangle by 3, it's equivalent to the sides of the smaller triangle. Therefore, they are similar.

A drink is mixed in the ratio
Contact [7]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

 Drink mix ratio:

        Lemonade   :    Orange      :     Cranberry

                 6           :          3          :          C

  Fraction  of Cranberry juice  = \frac{3}{12}

Sum of the ratio = 6 + 3 + C  = 9 + C

   Fraction of Cranberry;

                \frac{C}{9 + C}   = \frac{3}{12}

               3(9 + C)  = 12C

               27 + 3C  = 12C

               27  = 12C - 3C

                9C  = 27

                   C = 3

The missing number will be 3

-3(x+4)=(-x-1)

1. Distribute

-3x+(-12)=-x-1

2. Simplify

-3x-12=-x-1

-2x-12=-1

-2x=11

x=-11/2

x=-5.5
