Answer:

8 toothpicks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Each wall must be 1\frac{1}{3} feet long. Each toothpick is 2 inches long.

To find: How many toothpicks will it take to make the base length of one wall.

Solution:

We have, length of toothpick as 2 inches.

Length of wall=1\frac{1}{3} feet.

Now, first we need to convert the length of wall in inches.

We know that 1\: \text{feet}=12\:\: \text{inches}

So, 1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} feet

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\times12=16 inches

Number of toothpicks will it take to make the base length of one wall=\frac{\text{total length of wall}}{\text{length of each toothpick}}

=\frac{16}{2}

=8

Hence, 8 toothpicks will be needed to make the base length of one wall.

GIVING BRAINILEST-
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

To construct a dilation, we need the center of dilation, which is the point from which we make the image smaller or larger. We also need a scale factor, which is the number that determines how large or small we are making the new image. If the scale factor is greater than 1, we have an enlargement, because the new image will be larger than the original image. If the scale factor is less than 1, we have a reduction because the new image will be smaller than the original image.

Enlargement

Step-1

Let's dilate triangle PQR by a scale factor of 2 with a center of dilation at point C.

Step-2

First, we will use a straightedge to connect the center of dilation C to each vertex. We are going to extend those lines across the whole page.

Step-3

Next, we'll place the point of the compass on the center of dilation C and the pencil on vertex Q and measure that distance.

Step-4

Now, without changing the size of the compass, we will move the point of the compass to vertex Q, and make a mark on the line that is extended through Q.

Step-5

Notice that since we measured the distance from C to Q and then used that same distance to mark the line, we have now created a new point that is twice the distance from C that Q was.

We now repeat the process for each of the other vertices of the triangle.

Step-6

These marks represent the vertices of our dilated image. We often use the same letters with an apostrophe to show that it is the corresponding vertex.

Step-7

Finally, we use the straightedge to connect all of the new vertices.

Now,See how triangle P

′

Q

′

R

′

is twice the size of the original triangle.

Reduction

Step-1

Given triangle PQR, now let's dilate the image with a center of dilation at C and with a scale factor of

2

1

Step-2

Using the straightedge, we will connect all of the vertices to the center of dilation C. In this case, since our scale factor is less than 1, we are reducing the size of the triangle.

Step-3

The green lines are the new lines that we have drawn.

Since we have to reduce the size of the triangle by half, we want to cut the distance in half from each vertex to the center of dilation. In order to do this, we will set our compass to a distance that is more than halfway between vertex P and point C but less than the total distance.

Step-4

Keeping the compass at that same distance, start with the point of the compass on vertex P, then draw a curve that intersects the line between P and C. Next, keeping the compass at the same distance, place the point of the compass on C and draw a curve that intersects the line between P and C and intersects the previously drawn curve.

Step-5

Now, we will take the straightedge and connect the points where the curves overlap.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

864.36 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, we are given the following values,

Confidence interval 95%

Since we know the confidence interval, we can find the score.

Z score = 1.96

σ , Standards deviation = 15mm

Margin of error = 1 mm

The formula to use to solve the above question is given as:

No of boxes =[ (z score × standard deviation)/ margin of error]²

No of boxes = [(1.96 × 15)/1]²

= 864.36 boxes

Based on the options above, we can round it up to 97 boxes.
