How do scale drawings and actual measurements represent proportional relationship

Mathematics

serious [3.7K]3 years ago

Scale drawings is a ratio. For example: scale 1 cm : 100 km, represents the ratio

 1 cm
----------
100 km

The measure on the map, call it m, and the actual measure, call it x (the unknown) makes another ratio:

   m
-------
   x.

Those two ratios constitue a proportion or proportional relationship:

  1 cm          m
------------ = ------
 100 km        x

That proportion permits to find the actual measurement (x) from the measurement of the map (m).

Suppose you measure 4.5 cm on the map, then you calculate the actual measure as:

x = [ 100 km / 1 cm] * 4.5 cm = 450 km.

As you have seen, scale drawings and actual measurements represent a proportion which lets you to find the unknown.

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet longer than it is wideIf each side is increased 8 feet, then the area is multiplied by 2. Wh
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

W = 16

L = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write down the information we have first

"The length of a rectangle is 8 feet longer than it is wide"

L = W + 8

"If each side is increased 8 feet, then the area is multiplied by 2."

(L + 8)(W + 8) = 2LW

Now we can solve for W first, then L

(W + 16)(W + 8) = 2W(W + 8)

W² + 24W + 128 = 2W² + 16W

0 = W²- 8W - 128

0 = (W - 16)(W + 8)

W = 16

L = 24

(This part above is solved like quadratics)

You invest $700 in an account that pays an interest rate of 6.5%, compounded continuously.
Nina [5.8K]
Please include the instructions when you post a question.  Thanks.

Use the formula A = P*e^(rt).

Here, A = $700*e^(0.065*t), where t is the # of years (which you have not yet included in your post).

As an example:  After 2 years you'll have   A = $700*e^(0.065*2), or A=$797.18, in your account.
