Maureen measured a house and its lot and made a scale drawing. The scale she used was
1 answer:
The most appropriate choice for unitary method will be given by-
Length of driveway in the drawing is 3 inch
What is unitary method?
Unitary method is the method in which value of a single unit can be calculated from the value of a multiple unit and value of a multiple unit can be calculated from the value of a single unit.
Sometimes value of single unit is less than value of multiple unit
For example - cost of food and quantity of food
Sometimes value of single unit is more than value of multiple unit
For example- Number of men and time taken by those men to do a work
Here,
Scale used by Maureen is 1 inch = 8ft
Actual length of house's driveway = 24 feet
8 ft of room is equal to 1 inch on scale
1 ft of room is equal to inch on scale
24 feet of room is equal to inch on scale
24 feet of room is equal to 3 inch on scale
Length of driveway in the drawing is 3 inch

Given:
The equation of a circle is
A tangent line l to the circle touches the circle at point P(12,5).
To find:
The gradient of the line l.
Solution:
Slope formula: If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is
Endpoints of the radius are O(0,0) and P(12,5). So, the slope of radius is
We know that, the radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency.
Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.
Let the slope of tangent line l is m. Then, the product of slopes of line l and radius is -1.
Therefore, the gradient or slope of the tangent line l is .
