Answer:

Option D is correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that an architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch equals 12 feet.

To find actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor we will multiply blueprint distance by 12.

14.375\text{ inches} \cdot 12\frac{\text{ feet}}{\text{ inch}}

=172.5\text{ feet}

Therefore, actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor is 172.5 feet.

Answer:

Option D. 172.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch = 12 feet.

It is given that the distance between first floor and 15th floor = 14.375 inches.

We will make a set up of equal ratio.

\frac{\text{12 feet}}{\text{1 inches}} = \frac{\text{x feet}}{\text{14.375 inches}}

x = 14.375 × 12

x = 172.5 feet

Option D. The two floors are 172.5 feet apart.

Rose is fishing from a small boat. A fish swimming at the same depth as the hook at the end of her fishing line is 8 meters away
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The question is incomplete, as the depth of the hook isn't given in the question. However, using a proposed depth for the hook, we could give a stepwise solution to the exercise.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If given a hook depth of 6 meters, and a distance of 8 m(fishing line from hook) at the the Same depth, then the distance between rose and the fish, x can be calculated, using the relation.

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(refer to attached picture)

x² = 6² + 8²

x² = 36 +. 64

x² = 100

x = sqrt(100)

x = 10 meters

You can use the actual depth value to obtain the actual solution to your question.

If a rectangular piece of metal has 27.75 square inches what is the length and width?
svp [43]

We cannot get further information about the dimensions of the piece since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations.

<h3>What are the dimensions of a rectangular piece of metal?</h3>

By geometry we know that the area of the piece of metal is equal to the product of its length and width, then we must find two <em>real</em> numbers such that:

l · w = 27.75, where l, w > 0.

Unfortunately, we cannot get further information about the dimensions of the piece since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations. We need at least one equation to find an <em>unique</em> solution.
