A^2+b^2= 15^2
b=a-3
Use substitution
a^2+(a-3)^2= 225
a^2+a^2-6a+9=225
2a^2-6a=-216
2a^2-6a+216=0
2(a^2-3a+108)
2(a-12)(a+9)
(a-12)=0
a=12
(a+9)=0
a=-9
A is -9 or 12, but since an object can't have a negative length or width, a must be 12.
Plug this value of a in.
b=(12)-3
b=9
Final answer: Length=9, width=12
(9 x 10 ^(-5)) - (3 x 10^(-16))
Your subtracting to find the difference in size
9 x 10^(-5)
It would be 1.879 kilometers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the scale factor, using the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original.
Using the vertical line image = 4 and original = 6 , then
scale factor = =
