Answer:

The length of the model will be 43.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scale model of a whale is being built. The actual length of the whale is 65 feet. The scale of the model is 2 inches : 3 feet.

To find : What will be the length of the model?

Solution :

The scale of the model is 2 inches : 3 feet i.e. \frac{2}{3}

Let the length of model be 'x' inches.

According to question,

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{x}{65}

Cross multiply,

2\times 65=3\times x

x=\dfrac{2\times 65}{3}

x=43.3

Therefore, the length of the model will be 43.3 inches.

One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle is 35. Find the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95
