Answer:

0.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 50:1 this means if the wing had a real length of 1 cm, in the drawing it will be of 50 cm.

We want to know the real length of the wing of the drawing has a wing with a length of 15cm.

We can express the information we have as follows:

Drawn length     Real Length

      50cm                  1cm

       15cm                  x

Where x is the real length of the wing when the drawing has a length of 15cm.

We can solve the problem by applying<u> rule of three</u>, we must multiply the cross quantities and divide by the remaining amount.

x=\frac{15*1}{50}=\frac{15}{50} =0.3

The actual length of the wing is 0.3cm.

if a tv has a diagonal measurement of 55 and a height of 30, what is the tvs width? round to the nearest whole number
Sati [7]

Answer:

  46

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle. The diagonal measure is the hypotenuse, and the height is one leg. The width is the other leg, and can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

__

<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>

The relation between the leg lengths (a, b) and the hypotenuse (c) is ...

  c² = a² +b²

Solving for b gives ...

  b = √(c² -a²)

<h3>application</h3>

In this problem, we have c=55 and a=30. Then the width of the TV is ...

  b = √(55² -30²) = √(3025 -900) = √2125

  b ≈ 46.098

The width of the TV is about 46.

A.) which of these expressions is equivalent to 4 x x
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a) The correct option is C: 4x

b) The correct option is B: 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Usually when we have a real number multiplying a variable, we do not need to write the multiplication symbol.

So instead of writing:

4×x

We can write:

4x

And this will be equivalent.

Then in this case the correct option is C.

b) We know that if we have the multiplication of A by n, this will be equivalent to add A n times.

Then if we have the sum of A, for example, 4 times, we have:

A + A + A + A

And this can be written as 4*A

In this case, we have the expression x + x.

So we are adding x two times, then this can be written as: 2*x, or, as we said earlier, this also can be written as 2x.

Then the correct option is option B.
