For the filming of a recent sci-fi movie, a model spaceship made to a scale of 1:16 was used. In the movie, the ship is supposed

to be 104 feet long.Set up a proportion and solve it to find the length of the model. ( Hint: the model is smaller than the real ship)

Answer: 6.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The model of the spaceship was made to a scale of 1:16. Assuming the same unit of measurement used in the actual spaceship was also used in the model space ship and it was in feets. This means 1 foot on the model spaceship represented 16 feets on the actual spaceship.

In the movie, the ship is supposed to be 104 feet long. Let x be the corresponding length on the model. Therefore,

1:16 = x:104

1/16 = x/104

16x = 104

x = 104/16 = 6.5feets

So the length of the model is 6.5 feets

Find the answer given below​
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Surface area = 6l^2

Volume = l^3

If total surface area increased by 2, then the length increased by \sqrt{2}

Volume then is increased by (\sqrt{2}l)^3 = 2\sqrt{2}l^3

1 :2 \sqrt{2}

Which is not an option in the question so this question clearly has a problem.

First of all It's supposed to be "then" not "than," so I'm not sure who teaches math without even knowing this basic grammar.

Second of all, if the answer is 8:1 the question should be "If <u>each sides</u> of a cube is doubled" not "the lateral surface area." Come to think of it what even is lateral surface area of a cube if all sides of the cube is supposed to be same.

Or, if the answer is 2:1 then, it should be If height lateral surface area of a cube is doubled <u>by doubling the height and without changing the length and width</u>"  But, then the the shape would no longer be a cube.

Who even wrote this garbage question what.

you deposit $2000 in an account earning 3% interest compounded monthly. How much will you have in the account in 10 years?
Hitman42 [59]
If it’s 3% that’s 36% a year which means 360% in ten years. $2000+360%=$9200
