The area of a square is 225cm². On the map drawn to scale 1 : 3 find the area of the square

Olin [163]

Answer:

25 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Area if a square = length²

225 = length²

length = √225

length = 15

if the map is drawn to scale of 1 : 3

the length on the map = 15/3 = 5

area of the square 5 x 5 = 25

Solve the formula 27a + 1/3 * b = 4 for a.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

a = 4/27 - b/81

Step-by-step explanation:

27a + 1/3 * b = 4

Subtract the term with b from both sides.

27a = 4 - 1/3 *b

Divide both sides by 27.

a = 4/27 - 1/81 * b

a = 4/27 - b/81

Find the area of rectangle with sides 2 5/6 and 4 4/7

g100num [7]

<h3>Given :</h3>

Length = $\sf2\dfrac{5}{6}$ cm.
Breadth = $\sf4\dfrac{4}{7}$ cm.

The area of rectangle.

<h3>Solution :</h3>

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

$\sf=2\dfrac{5}{6}\times4\dfrac{4}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17}{6}\times\dfrac{25}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17\times25}{6\times7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{425}{42}$

<h3>Area of rectangle is 425/42 cm².</h3>

A right regular pentagonal prism has a base edge length 14 cm, and height 12 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4046.56 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is made by 5 isosceles triangles, with one side of 14 cm, and the opposite angle of $\frac{360} 5 = 72°$ . Each of the other angle is $\frac{180-72} {2} =54°$ . From there, you can calculate the height of each base triangle as in $\frac {h} 7 = tan54$ or 9.634...cm.
