We need to make a scale between blueprint and actual size. The trick in this question is to understand that the scale for the areas and the scale for the lengths are different.
Scale for area is given in the question as
1 unit on blueprint = 900 units in actual.
As the dining room is given to be rectangular we can find the scale for lengths by taking square root of scale for area.
√1 unit on blueprint = √900 units in actual
Therefore, scale for length= 1:30
Thus, by using the scale we can calculate actual length corresponding to 4 inches on blueprint by multiplying 4 with scale
4 inches×1/30=120inches
Answer = 120 inches
Answer:
The first term is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference is 142 - 140 = 2 so we have
50th term = a1 + 2(50 -1) = 140 where a1 is the first term
a1 + 98 = 140
a1 = 140 - 98 = 42.
Answer:
The sides of the triangles adjacent to the center of dilation will be collinear. The third sides of the pre-
image and image will be “parallel”
The vertex used as the center of dilation will be in “the same location in both triangles”
This question can be solved using the Herons equation where
A = SQRT [s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]
A = area of the triangle
a, b and c are the sides of the triangle
s = (a+b+c)/2
Since we are given the area, we can express "s" as a function of the third side c. This can be substituted in the original equation so as to obtain an expression to solve for the third side c
s = (4+10+c)/2 = (14+c)/2
using the solver function of the calculator or MS Excel, the third side is 7.21 units
