On a scale drawing with a scale of 1/20, the height of the building is 8 inches. How tall is the actual building in feet?

That means its downgraded to 1/20 of actual height, let actual height is x. Then 
(1/20) * x = 8, x = 20 * 8 = 160, actual height = 160 inch
160 inch = 160/12 feet = 13 1/3 feet or 13.333 feet.

4. Find the standard from of the equation of a hyperbola whose foci are (-1,2), (5,2) and its vertices are end points of the dia
Ad libitum [116K]

The <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the hyperbola that satisfies all conditions is (x - 2)²/4 - (y - 2)²/5 = 1 .

<h3>How to find the standard equation of a hyperbola</h3>

In this problem we must determine the equation of the hyperbola in its <em>standard</em> form from the coordinates of the foci and a <em>general</em> equation of a circle. Based on the location of the foci, we see that the axis of symmetry of the hyperbola is parallel to the x-axis. Besides, the center of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the line segment with the foci as endpoints:

(h, k) = 0.5 · (- 1, 2) + 0.5 · (5, 2)

(h, k) = (2, 2)

To determine whether it is possible that the vertices are endpoints of the diameter of the circle, we proceed to modify the <em>general</em> equation of the circle into its <em>standard</em> form.

If the vertices of the hyperbola are endpoints of the diameter of the circle, then the center of the circle must be the midpoint of the line segment. By algebra we find that:

x² + y² - 4 · x - 4 · y + 4= 0​

(x² - 4 · x + 4) + (y² - 4 · y + 4) = 4

(x - 2)² + (y - 2)² = 2²

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the line segment. Now we proceed to determine the vertices of the hyperbola:

V₁(x, y) = (0, 2), V₂(x, y) = (4, 2)

And the distance from the center to any of the vertices is 2 (<em>semi-major</em> distance, a) and the semi-minor distance is:

b = √(c² - a²)

b = √(3² - 2²)

b = √5

Therefore, the <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the hyperbola that satisfies all conditions is (x - 2)²/4 - (y - 2)²/5 = 1 .

What is rounding for math
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. The result is less accurate, but easier to use. Example: 73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70, because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80. But 76 goes up to 80. There are many ways to round.
