How do you find scale factor

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lerok [7]3 years ago
7 0
First, a scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides in two similar geometric figures.

To find the scale factor:
1. Locate two corresponding sides (one on each figure).
2. Write the ratio of one length to the other.
And there you go! That's the scale figure from one figure to the other

Hope that helps and correct me if I'm wrong!

What is the radius of a circle with an area of 78.5 cubic inches? use 3.14 for pie
svetlana [45]

Answer:

radius = 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the area (A) of a circle

A = πr² ( r is the radius )

here A = 78.5, hence

3.14r² = 78.5 ( divide both sides by 3.14 )

r² = \frac{78.5}{3.14} = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

r = \sqrt{25} = 5

A masonry contractor is preparing an estimate for building a stone wall and gate. He estimates that the job will take a​ 40-hour
kodGreya [7K]

Solution: Estimated time for the work is 40 hour work week.

Estimated payment to 3 laborers working 40 hours at cost $14 per hour is:

3\times 40\times 14= $1680

Estimated payment to 6 masons working 40 hours at cost $24 per hour is:

6\times 40\times 24= $5760

Estimated cost of material = $3143

Contractor wishes to make a profit of $500

Therefore, the mathematical expression that will give the estimated cost of the job is:

Cost = 1680+5760+3143+500

The estimated total cost is:

Cost =$11083

IM HOMESCHOOLED AND I NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS QUESTION. ANYONE PLEASE HELP. my teacher won’t help me :(
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

GI = 18;   GE = 12; IE = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to the question is to realize or find out what a centroid is and what it does. You can solve this question by knowing three things.

  1. The centroid is the meeting point of the three medians ( a median is a line that connects the midpoint of the side opposite a given vertex).
  2. The centroid divides the median in a ratio of 2:1. The longest segment is from the vertex to the centroid.
  3. The shortest segment is from the centroid to the midpoint of the side opposite the given vertex.

Point two is what you have to focus on.

GE/EI = 2/1

GE = 12                        Given

Solution

GE / EI = 2/1                 Substitute for the given    

12 / EI = 2/1                  Cross multiply

2*EI = 12 * 1                  Simplify the right

2 * EI = 12                     Divide by 2      

EI = 12/2                        Divide

Part Two

GI = EI + GE

GI = 6 + 12

GI = 18  

EI = 6
