The cross-section of a wheelchair ramp is shown.Does the ramp form a right triangle?

Naily [24]

Use the Pythagorean Theorem (which is only true for right triangles)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where
a = 25
b = 312
and c = 313

25^2 + 312^2 = 313^2
625 + 973244 = 97969
97969 = 97969
this is a true statement

therefore your ramp Is indeed a Right Triangle

The length between the bases on a Major League Baseball diamond is 90 feet. Allyson wants to make a scale drawing of a baseball

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

$\text{The scale is }\frac{1}{432}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length between the bases on a major league diamond = 90 feet

1 feet = 12 inches

90 feet = 90 × 12

= 1080 inches

Length between the bases on a major league baseball diamond on scale drawing = 2.5 inches

$\text{Scale factor = }\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale length}}\\\\\text{Scale factor = }\frac{1080}{2.5}=432$

$\text{Hence, the scale is }\frac{1}{432}$
