The stucco column is 4.2 meters tall.
You have to set up a ratio.    X              2.1           
                                            ----------  =    ----------  
                                                 4               2  
Make sure to keep the heights and shadow equal to each other. then cross multiply (2.1*4) and divide (8.4/2)

A blueprint uses a scale factor of 3 inches = 2 feet. What is the area on the blueprint of a 3,500 square foot house in inches?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

7875 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

4ft^2 = 2ft * 2ft

4ft^2 = 3in * 3in

4ft^2 = 9in^2

For 3,500 square foot

3,500 square foot  = x

Divide bith expressions

4/3500 = 9/x

4x = 9 * 3500

4x = 31500

x = 31500/4

x = 7875 square inches

Hence the area of the house in inches is 7875 square inches

The distance be<br> Find the distance between P and Q
Lelu [443]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((7 -1)^2 +(12 -4)^2) = √(6^2 +8^2) = √(36 +64) = √100

  d = 10

The distance between P and Q is 10.

You may recognize the run : rise ratio of 6 : 8 = 3 : 4. This suggests a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 2. If you're familiar with that Pythagorean triple, you can write down the answer as soon as you see the rise and run numbers.
