Answer:

  • (a) 3 inches

  • (b)  Her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches because the dimensions are not proportional to the scale.

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the garden in her model? Show your work, including your proportion

<u>1. Scale</u>:

  • model length / real length = 1 inch / 2 feet

<u>2. Proportion</u>:

Naming x the model length:

  • 1 inch / 2 feet = x / 6 feet

Cross multiply:

  • 1 inch × 6 feet = 2 feet × x

Divide both sides by x:

  • x = 1 inch × 6 feet / 2 feet = 3 inch.

Answer: 3 inches

(b) If the width is 5 inches for the scale model and the scale is still 1 inch to 2 feet, will her scale model drawing fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches? Why or why not?​

Both the width and the length must use the same scale, thus the corresponding sides of the scale model and the drawing must be proportional.

In the model the ratio of the length to the width is 3 inch / 5 inch

In the paper the ratio of the length to the width is 8.5 inch / 7 inch

Hence, you can see that in the model the length (mumerator of the fraction) is less than the width (denominator) while in the paper it is the opposite. Bieng the two ratios different, they are not proportional, and you conclude that her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches.

AB = 3 + x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option A) 4, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that quadrilateral ABCD is a  parallelogram with sides:

AB = 3 + x\\DC = 4x\\AD = y + 1\\BC = 2y

Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, we can write:

AB = DC\\AD=BC

Equating the sides we get,

\Rightarrow 3+x = 4x\\4x-x = 3\\3x = 3\\x = 1\\\Rightarrow y + 1 = 2y\\y = 1

Putting the values of x and y, we get:

AB = 3 + x =4\\DC = 4x =4\\AD = y + 1=2\\BC = 2y=2

Thus, the lengths of the opposite side pairs is 4,2.

complette the square to get vertex form or y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) is vertex
1. group x terms, so for y=ax^2+bx+c, do y=(ax^2+bx)+c <span> <span> </span> 2, factor out the leading coefinet (constant in front of the x^2 term), basicallly factor out a </span><span> <span> </span> 3. take 1/2 of the linear coefient (number in front of the x), and square it ,then add negative and positive of it inside parnthases </span><span> <span> </span> 4. complete the squre and expand </span>


so
y=-1/4x^2+4x-19
group
y=(-1/4x^2+4x)-19
undistribute -1/4
y=-1/4(x^2-16x)-19
take 1/2 of -16 and squer it to get 64 then add neg and pos inside
y=-1/4(x^2-16x+64-64)-19
factorperfect square
y=-1/4((x-8)^2-64)-19
expand
y=-1/4(x-8)^2+16-19
y=-1/4(x-8)^2-3
vertex is (8,-3)

I tried many times to solve this question: Joy makes 6,5 litres soup correct to the nearest 0.5 litres. She serves the soup in 2
Paraphin [41]

Joy makes 6.5 litres soup correct to the nearest 0.5 litres. She serves the soup in 280ml portions correct to the nearest 10ml. 22 people order this soup. Does joy definitely has enough soup to serve the 22 people.

Answer:

Yes, Joy definitely does has enough soup

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know,

Joy make 6.5 litres of soup

Serves it in 280ml portions

Step 1

We convert the portions to liters

1 ml = 0.001 litre

280 ml

= 280ml × 0.001 litre/1 ml

= 0.28litre

Step 2

We divide 6.5 liters by 0.28 to find out how many people can be served

= 6.5 ÷ 0.28

= 23.2142857143 people

We can see that 6.5 liters soup can serve 23 people approximately.

Therefore, Yes, Joy definitely does has enough soup to serve 22 people
