As a part of city building refurbishment project, architects have constructed a scale model of several city builidings to present to the city commission for approval. The scale of the model is 1 inch = 9 feet.

The model includes a new park in the center of the city. If the dimensions of the park in the model are 9 inches by 17 inches, what are the actual dimensions of the park?

Answer: 81 feet by 153 feet

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Unit</u> <u>Scale</u> is a ratio comparing actual dimensions of an object to the dimensions of model representing the actual object.

In the refurbishment project, the unit scale is given by

1 inch = 9 feet

So, the dimensions of the new park in actual dimensions would be

1 inch = 9 feet

9 inches = x

x = 9.9

x = 81 feet

1 inch = 9 feet

17 inches = y

y = 17.9

y = 153 feet

The actual dimensions of the new park are 81 feet by 153 feet.

Tell whether the lines of the pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

tino4ka555 [31]

First Equation:

$y= -\frac{3}{4} x+2$

Second Equation can be written as:

$y= \frac{3}{4}x+2$

Slope of first equation is -3/4 and slope of second equation is 3/4.
Slope of parallel lines must be equal, and slope of perpendicular lines are the negative reciprocal of each other. None of these conditions can be seen for given two equations.

So, the two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
So correct option is C
