Sam Houston's Arms

Mathematics
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The length of the statue's arm is<u> 26.22 ft.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the statue's arm be 'x'.

Given:

Height of statue is, H=67\ ft

Height of male is, h=5\ ft\ 9\ in=5\ ft+\frac{9}{12}\ ft=5+0.75=5.75\ ft

Length of the male's arm is, l=27\ in=\frac{27}{12}=2.25\ ft

Now, as the size of Sam Houston's statue is proportional to that of an adult male, therefore, their heights and arm lengths will also be in proportion. So,

\frac{H}{h}=\frac{x}{l}\\x=\frac{H}{h}\times l

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'x'.

x=\frac{67}{5.75}\times 2.25\\x=26.22\ ft

Therefore, the length of the statue's arm is 26.22 ft

It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?
omeli [17]

Answer:

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers

f a rectangle has a perimeter of 70, a length of x and a width of x - 9, find the value of the length of the rectangle.
trasher [3.6K]

( x + (x  -  9))  \times 2 = 70 \\( 2x - 9) \times2= 70 \\ 4x - 18 = 70 \\ 4x = 70 + 18 = 88
x =  \frac{88}{4}  = 22
the length is 22


and the width is
22-9=17
