Set up a ratio. But first convert the height of the puzzle to feet so we are comparing the same unit of measure.


STEP 1
convert 24 inches to feet

12 inches= 1 foot

24 inches= 2 feet


STEP 2
set up ratio.

= 2 feet/556 feet or 2:556
simplify both by 2

= 1 ft/278 ft or 1:278


ANSWER: 1/278 or 1:278 (can be written either way)

Hope this helps! :)

Find the distance between the two points. Enter the number that goes beneath the radical symbol. (PICTURE ABOVE]​
Alika [10]

For this case we have that by definition, the distance between two points is given by:

d = \sqrt {(x_ {2} -x_ {1}) ^ 2+ (y_ {2} -y_ {1}) ^ 2}

We have the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 1,4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 2, -3)

Substituting we have:

d = \sqrt {(- 2-1) ^ 2 + (- 3-4) ^ 2}\\d = \sqrt {(- 3) ^ 2 + (- 7) ^ 2}\\d = \sqrt {9 + 49}\\d = \sqrt {58}

Thus, the distance between the points is\sqrt {58}

ANswer:

d = \sqrt {58}

Which triangle has hypotenuse Side B F? A cube. The top face has points G, B, C, F and the bottom face has points H, A, D, E. tr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

ΔBFG

Step-by-step explanation:

Since top face points are

  • G, B, C and F

and bottom face points are

  • H, A, D and E

The side BF can be a hypotenuse of the triangle BFG only

This triangle is on the top face and all the rest given triangles are formed by the points that are not on the same face, therefore BF can't be a hypotenuse of those, as ether B or F is becoming a right angle of the triangles.
