Answer: 12\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the height inches (in the model) of a 84 foot building.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that the height of a two-story building is 21 feet and in the scale model its height is 3 inches.

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}

The final step is to solve for "x" in order to calculate its value. We get that this is:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}\\\\(84)(\frac{3}{21})=x\\\\x=12

Therefore,  an 84 foot building will be 12 inches tall in the model.

3. If triangle ABC has the following measurements, find the measure of angle A.
klio [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  42.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

  cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050

  A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°

The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

_____

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

The smallest angle in a triangle can never be greater than 60°. This lets you eliminate choices that exceed that value.

Fill in the blank spaces please.
Kisachek [45]

<u><em>PART A</em></u>

If 4 pounds = 10 dollars...

4/2 = 2

10/2 = 5

<u>So for 2 pounds, it would cost </u><u>$5.00</u>

Now for the 1 pound one

4/1 = 4

10/4 = 2.5

<u>For the 1 pound one, it would cost </u><u>$2.50</u>

<u></u>

<u><em>PART B</em></u>

We know that 4 pounds = 10 bucks

Since 1 is 1/10 of 10 (in the cost section), we have to apply this to the pounds section. 4/10 = 0.4. Therefore, <u>$1 = 0.4lb</u>

Now for the last blank...

Since $1 = 0.4, we multiply that by 9. 0.4 x <u>$9 = 3.6lb</u>

<u></u>
