Answer:

<h2>The sculpture of the woman must be 268 inches tall.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about proportions and scales factors.

According to the problem, a sculpture of a clothespin is 20 feet, and a normal clothespin is 5 inches high.

So, the ratio is \frac{20}{5}=4

If a woman is 5 feet and 7 inches, the height of her sculpture must be in the given ratio.

First, we need to use only inches units. We know that 1 foot is 12 inches.

5ft\frac{12in}{1ft} + 7=60+7=67in

So, the woman height is 67 inches.

Using the given scale factor, we multiply it with the height of the woman

67 \times 4 = 268 in

Therefore, the sculpture of the woman must be 268 inches tall.

This is the concept of scale factor. The linear scale factor is given by:
(height of sculpture)/(height of clothespin)
=20/(5/12)
=48
Given that a woman is 5ft 7 in, the sculpture of this woman would be:
height of sculpture=(scale factor)*(height of the woman)
height of the woman=5 ft 7 inches=5 7/12 ft=67/12 ft
hence the height of the sculpture will be:
67/12×48
=268 ft

Answer: 268 ft

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2-4x+10=0,which number would have to be added to
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 4x + 10 = 0

subtract 10 from both sides

x² - 4x = - 10

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 10 + 4

(x - 2)² = - 6

To complete the square add 4
