2 is a common factor for both of them.
Answer: 2.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the following formula:
(1)
Where:
is the length of the base
is the width of the base
is the height of the prism
On the other hand, tha area of a rectangle is:
(2)
Then, we can rewrite (1) in terms of (2):
(3)
Now, we know the value of the volume and the area of the base:
Substituting these values in (3):
(4)
Isolating :
This is the height of the truck
Answer:
1 in : 50 mi . . . or . . . 1 : 3,168,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing the areas by 10, you get 1 square inch corresponding to 2500 square miles. Those areas are equivalent to 1 inch square and 50 miles square. Hence the scale factor is 1 inch : 50 miles.
Sometimes map scales are expressed as a dimensionless ratio. The number of inches in 50 miles is
... (50 mi)×(5280 ft/mi)×(12 in/ft) = 3,168,000 in
so, the map scale can be expressed as 1 : 3,168,000.
