two similar signs have a scale factor of 5:3. if the larger sign is 45 feet tall . how tall is the small sign?

1 answer:

7 0

Given that 2 similar signs have a scale factor of 5:3 and the larger sign is 45 ft, then the smaller sign will have the height given by:
scale factor=(height of large sign )/(height of smaller sign)
let the height of smaller sign be x, plugging in the values we get:
5/3=45/x
solving for x we get
3/5=x/45
hence
x=3/5×45
x=27 ft
The height of smaller sign will be 27 ft

90 percent as a fraction in simplest form

inysia [295]

Whenever a number is followed by percent, you can turn it into a fraction by simply moving the decimal places two places to the left:

90.0 % becomes .90

As a fraction, this is 90 over 100. To reduce it to its simplest form, divide by 10:

9/10

Check the picture below. Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm². Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

$\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=lwh\quad 
\begin{cases}
l = length\\
w=width\\
h=height\\
-----\\
w=l=x
\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{surface area}\\\\
S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3$

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

$\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100
\\\\\\
x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}$

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it. Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at $\bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3$
