The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Actual height of Sears Tower = H_a = 1450 feet

Height of Model = H_m = 24 inches

We can divide the actual height by the model's height to find the scale

Let z be the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height

z = \frac{H_m}{H_a}\\z = \frac{24\ inches}{1450\ feet}\\z = \frac{12\ inches}{725\ feet}

The ratio should be in same unit.

We know that

1 ft = 12 inches

Then

z = \frac{1}{725}\\z=> 1:725

Hence,

The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

The shape in the figure is constructed from several identical squares. If the side of each square is 1 unit, what is the area an
Katen [24]

Answer:

Area = 7 square units

Perimeter = 14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is made up of 7 identical squares and, we are told the side length of each square is 1 unit.

==>Find area of the shape by calculating the area of 1 square, then multiply by the number of square used in the construction.

Thus, area of 1 square = s² = 1² = 1 square units.

Area of shape = 7 × 1 square units = 7 square units

==>Find the Perimeter of the shape by adding all the lengths of the boundary formed by the square to make up the shape.

(Check attachment to understand how we got the measurement of the boundary)

<em>The perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + ½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 1½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 4 = 14 units</em>

For which value of x is the equation 2(1 + x) = x + 3 true?<br><br> A) 1<br> B) 2<br> C) 3<br> D) 4
amm1812

Answer:

A) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, just plug in the numbers to the equation for x until both sides are equal to each other.

Plug in 1:

2(1 + x) = x + 3

Let x = 1:

2(1 + 1) = 1 + 3

Solve. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, add parenthesis, then multiply. On the other side, add:

2(1 + 1) = 1 + 3

2(2) = 4

4 = 4 (True)

A) 1 is your answer.

Marta_Voda [28]
The LCD is 30.

Think of it this way.  You and I are on an assembly line checking i-pads.  Your job is to quality check every 6th one and my job is to check every 10th one.
Here are the ones you will check:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and so on
Here are the ones I will check
10, 20 30 and so on.

Notice the first one we both check?  #30 - that is the LCD of 6 and 10
