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}}

Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite

so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x

so it is the second option

Solve |p + 2| = 10Solve |p + 2| = 10<br><br> {-12}<br> {-8, 8}<br> {-12, 8}
valentinak56 [21]

By definition, we have

|p+2| = \begin{cases} p+2 &\text{ if } p+2 \geq 0 \\-p-2 &\text{ if } p+2 < 0 \end{cases}

So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:

Suppose that p+2\geq 0 \iff p \geq -2

In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is

p+2 = 10 \iff p = 10-2 = 8

We are supposing p \geq -2, so we can accept this solution.

Now, suppose that p+2 < 0 \iff p < -2. Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes

-p-2 = 10 \iff -p = 12 \iff p = -12

Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.
