You can notice that each term of the sequence has a denominator with powers of 2. The first term has 2 powered to 0, the second term has a 2 powered to 1 and so on. The numerator is always 3.
Then, for the n-th term, you have:
Hayden likes building radio controlled sailboats with her father. One of the sails shaped like a tight triangle has side lengths
measuring 6 inches 8 inches and 10 inches. To log her activity hayden creates and collects drawings of all the boats she and her father built together. Using the scale factor of 1/4 create a scale drawing of the sail
1 answer:
Answer:
the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches. the diagram is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
a scale factor of 1/4 means that the lengths of each side of the sail will be reduced by 0ne-forth (0.6) its original length. Therefore the lengths of the scale drawing before and after scaling are:
6 inches = 6 × 1/4 = 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 inches
8 inches = 7 × 0.25 = 2 inches
10 inches = 10 × 0.25 = 2.5 inches.
Therefore the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches as shown in the diagram attached.
