To determine the scale factor that should be used in order to correct the size of the post card, we simply have to divide the original length of the picture which is 4.5 inches by the space available, 1.8 inches. This gives an answer of,
                           scale factor = 4.5 inches / 1.8 inches = 2.5

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of the lenght of a figure compared to the lenght of another figure and it can be used to enlarge or reduce a shape. In this case, as the customer wants to reduce the picture, to calculate the scale factor you have to divide the small length by the big length.

Scale Factor Reduction= Small length /Big length= 1.8/4.5= 0.4

The scale factor is 0.4.

A company manufactures its product at a cost of $0.50 per item and sells it for $0.85 per item daily overhead is $600 how many i
Nataly_w [17]

so the company has an overhead of $600, usually that involves premises leasing and industrial equipment for the manufacturing of the product, that's cost.  The cost to make each item is 50 cents, so if the company produces "x" items, their cost is 0.5x total.

so our cost equation C(x) = 0.5x + 600   <---- items' cost plus overhead.

the company sells the product for 85 cents, so if they sell "x" items, their total revenue or income will be 0.85x.

so our revenue equation is simply R(x) = 0.85x.

as you already know, the break-even point is when.... well, you break even, no losses but no gains either, how much you take in is the same amount that you shelled out, namely R(x) = C(x).

\bf \stackrel{R(x)}{0.85x}=\stackrel{C(x)}{0.5x+600}\implies 0.35x=600\implies x=\cfrac{600}{0.35} \\\\\\ x\approx 1714.285714285714\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x=1714}

What is the third angle of a right triangle if one of the angles measures 51.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is 39.

Every triangle has 180 degrees. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Since a triangle has 3 angles, all three together must add up to 180o

A right angle = 90 degrees always.

You are given 51 degrees as your second angle

The third one is x

x + 51 + 90 = 180                   Total of three angles must be 180

x + 141 = 180                           The left has been added to give 141

x = 180 - 141                            Subtract 141 from both sides

x = 39                                     The third angle = 39
