Answer:
5.7 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Image a rectangle being cut diagonally in half, that would lead to two triangles. We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side.
7 is the hypotenuse and 4 is the side length
4^2+x^2=7^2
16+x^2=49
sqrx=sqr(49-16)
x=sqr33
x=5.74
Rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.7
X is the second side. Side 1 is s-5. side 3 is s-2 (s-5+3). They all must add up to 17. Well there is your answer right there. S-2
The scale model of a building 3 inches tall if the building is 90 feet tall is 2:5
<h3>Scaling of measurement</h3>
Scaling is the way of enlarging or reducing the image of an object.
Given scale model of a building is 3 inches, if the building is 90feet tall, to write the scale;
Convert both measures to same units
Since 1 feet. = 12 in
90 feet = 90/12 in = 7.5 in
Take the ratio
3 : 7.5 = 30: 75
Reduce to lowest term
30: 75 = 2 : 5
Hence the scale model of a building 3 inches tall if the building is 90 feet tall is 2:5
