Answer:

l = 2 1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is given by the formula

A = l*w

We know the area is 8 1/2  

Changing this to an improper fraction  8 1/2 = (2*8 +1)/2 = 17/2

The width is 3 2/5  as an improper fraction  = (5*3+2)/5 = 17/5

A = l*w

17/2 = l* 17/5

Multiply each side by 5/17

17/2 * 5/17 = l* 17/5 * 5/17

5/2 = l

2 1/2 = l

Answer:

l = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lb

8.5 = l * 3 2/5

8.5 = l * 3.4

l = 8.5 / 3.4

l = 2.5 <u>feet</u> <u>(</u>Always remember to put the units, otherwise you may not get points.)

A scale model of a tower is 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide. If the height of the actual tower is 60 feet, what is its width?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the model, we need to find the scale of the model to the actual tower.

Since we know the height of both towers, we can use that as the basis.

24 inches : 60 feet

12 inches : 30 feet

6 inches : 15 feet

So the width of the tower is 18 inches wide.

18 inches will then be equal to 12 + 7 inches : 30 + 15 feet

18 inches : 45 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are 2 angles when added together = equal 90 * degrees.

The verticle angles theorem states angles opposite each other are the same degree*.

30* degrees is opposite angle 2 .

So angle 2 = 30* too

angle 2 and 3 together +equal 90* degree.

90 - 30 (angle 2) = 60*

Angle 3 is 60*
