A model ship is 28 in. by 65 in. Use the scale 1 in. : 1/2 ft to find the dimensions of the actual ship

Mathematics

Kruka [31]3 years ago

The scale given (1 in : 1/2 ft) implies that 1 inch on the model is equal to 1/2 foot on the actual ship. Therefore, we can multiply the two inch values by 1/2 foot to find the true dimensions of the ship in feet. Starting with 28 inches:

28 × (1/2 ft) = 14 ft

28 inches is proportional to 14 feet. Now calculate 65 inches:

65 
× (1/2 ft) = 32.5 ft

65 inches is proportional to 32.5 feet. Therefore, the answer to this problem is:

D) 14 ft. by 32 1/2 ft.

I hope this helps!

NEED HELP AND NEED TO SHOW WORK
Olin [163]

Answer:

f(-2) = 0

f(1) = 12

(x^3 - 7x - 6) / (x + 2) = x^2 - 2·x - 3 = (x - 3)(x + 1)

x^3 - 7x - 6 = (x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 1)

Point B lies between points A and C on AC. Let x
Alex_Xolod [135]

Set up the following equation for this segment:

x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:

x will equal 5.

Plug this value into the values for both segments:

Segment AB:

Segment AB is 5 inches long.

Segment BC:

Segment BC is 15 inches long.

Andrew is painting a wall on the side of his house. He has a 20 foot ladder wich makes a 79 degree angle with the ground. Standi
torisob [31]

Andrew can reach a maximum of 24.6ft high up the wall.

The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the sine ratio. that is

sin(72^\circ})=\dfrac{h}{20}

where h is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for h, we get

0.9816=\dfrac{h}{20}\\\\h=20\times0.9816\\\\h=19.632ft

Since Andrew can reach an extra 5ft above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

(19.632+5)ft=24.632ft\\\\\approx24.6ft
