Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If the painting is 48 in. wide by 120 in tall.

And her paper is 12 in. wide and 24 in. tall.

Using a scale of 1 in. = 4in. will reduce the original image to

48/4 inch X 120/4 inch

=12inch X 30 inch

The height of the reduced painting is greater than the height of the paper.

A more appropriate scale could be

1 in. = 6in. which reduces our painting to:

48/6inch By 120/6inch

=8inch by 20 inch.

This fits on the paper

Answer:

No it is not a reasonable scale. She should use 1 inch= 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the drawing is 48 inches, dividing it by 4 inches gives 48/4=12 inches.

This is exactly the width of her paper. Which means the drawing will get to the edge.

The height of the drawing is 120 inches,divide by 4inches you get: 120/4=30 inches. The height of paper is 24 inches. Which means her paper is too small to accommodate the height of the drawing. The preferred scale would be 1 inch=6inches.

Answer:

36x

Step-by-step explanation:

18x / 19 = ? / 57

(18x * 3) / (19 * 3) = ? / 57

You multiply by 3 in both the numerator and the denominator.

36x / 57 = ? / 57

After you multiply, your answer equals 36x.

? = 36x

Katen [24]
ANSWER: 2327.04

EXPLANATION:

I’m assuming this is Reverse Pythagorean Theorem, so the equation would be c^2 - a^2 = b^2, so all you have to do it substitute the variables and solve. The length of the cable is variable c, the height of the tower is variable a, and the length of where is the cable is anchored and the base of the tower is variable b. That might not make any sense but feel free to ask any questions. :)
