Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem,
base²+altitude² = hypotenuse²
x² + 14² = 40²
x² + 196 = 1600
x² = 1600 - 196
x² = 1404
x = √1404
x = 37.47 ft
Answer:
The width of the actual pool is 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
You can put Kiara's scale into a ratio or fraction to help visualize it better: 13/6. Now, let's put what we do know for the other ratio into a fraction. we know that the pool is 26 centimeters wide, and since the 26 matches with the 13, that goes in the numerater. since we don't know the denominator, we can just put 26/x (you can use whatever letter you like but I'll use x here)
So in order to get 13/6 to 26/x, we need to find how to figure out what we are doing to the original fraction. Since 13 x 2= 26, it looks like we are multiplying the ratios by 2. Now that we know that, we can multiply the denominator (6) by 2 to equal 12, our answer.
Hope this helps :)
