Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup.

inches/feet=inches/feet

We know the scale is 1 inch to 6 feet. We also know that the plane is 8 inches long, but we don't know how many feet long it is, so we can say <em>x </em>feet.

1 inch/6 feet= 8 inches/ x feet

1/6=8/x

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second. Multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second.

1*x=6*8

x=6*8

x=48

Add appropriate units, in this case: feet.

x= 48 feet

The actual airplane is 48 feet long.

The airplane is 48 feet long in real dimensions.

To find out how long the airplane actually is, we can use the scale and input our amount of inches that it is measured by.

So, 1 inch equals to 6 feet.

Our model plane is 8 inches.

Now, we plug it in.

8 inches = 6(8)

8 inches = 48 feet

Therefore, the length of the real airplane is 48 feet.

48 feet

For #7 Find the measure of each numbered angle in the rectangle?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:



A rectangle is a geometric figure in which all four angles are 90 degrees. So if you have a missing side and it is a true rectangle, then you know the missing angle is 90 degrees. However, you could be working with a rectangle that is slanted. This is known as a parallelogram. To find the missing angle in such a case, you need to know that all the angles will add up to 360 degrees.


Write out the three known sides. For example, assume you have angles of 120, 120 and 60.


Write out an algebraic expression. Because you know the sum of all four sides must equal 360 degrees, your expression in the example will be 120 + 120 + 60 + X = 360.


Solve for X. Add together all of the angles. Subtract the amount from 360. In the example, 60 degrees is the missing angle.
