Answer:

1.\boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}; 2. \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the area of the floor

If the area A₁ of a square floor on the scale drawing is 100 cm², the length of a side is 10 cm.

The side length l of the actual floor is  

l = 10 cm × (2 ft/1 cm) = 20 ft

The area A₂ of the floor is  

A = l² = (20 ft)² = \boxed{\text{400 ft}^{2}}\\

Step 2. Calculate the area ratios

We must express both areas in the same units.  

Let's express the area of the room in square centimetres.

l = 20 ft ×  (12 in/1 ft) = 240 in

l = 240 in × (2.54 cm/1 in) = 609.6 cm

A₂ = l² = (609.6 cm)² = 371 612 cm²

The area A₁ on the scale drawing is 100 cm².

The ratio of the areas is

\frac{A_{1}}{ A_{2}} = \frac{100}{371612} = \frac{1 }{3716}\\

The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is \boxed{\frac{1}{3716}}

6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

6n = n² - 27

n² - 6n - 27 = 0

n² - 9n + 3n - 27 = 0

n(n - 9) + 3(n - 9) = 0

(n - 9)(n + 3) = 0

n = -3, 9

3(x-2y)=5(x-3y)+9 write in slope intercept form help!
eimsori [14]

Answer:

y = (2x/9) + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y we get 3(-2y+x) = 5(-3y+x)+9

Expand the above we get -6y+3x=5(-3y+x)+9

which is -6y+3x = -15y+5x+9

then 9y = 2x+9

which y = (2x/9) + 1

HIJK is a rectangle. HJ=x and IK=2x-7 Find the length of each diagonal​
laila [671]
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent so set them equal to each other to get x = 2x - 7. isolate the variable (0 = x - 7 — x = 7) to get x = 7. the diagonals are seven.

I need to solve: -3(8x); x = 1/4. Using substitution ro find the value of expression
marishachu [46]
First, find the value of the expression within the parentheses, which is 8x. Since x=1/4, 8x=8/4 or 2. Next, multiply this value by -3. -3*2=-6
