Okay, so your scale rectangle has a length of l = 8.2 cm. The actual triangle has a length of L = 41 cm. What is the scale factor? You find out by dividing the scale rectangle l from the actual rectangle L.

41 cm / 8.2 cm = 5

The scale factor is 5. That means the actual rectangle is exactly 5 times bigger than the scale rectangle. Now finding the width is easy! If the width of the scale rectangle is 2.1 cm and the scale factor is 5, you just multiply them together!

2.1 cmx 5 = 10.5 cm

The width of the actual rectangle is 10.5 cm! Hope that helps!

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  • <em><u>5.6875 in</u></em>

Explanation:

At the point of tangency, the <em>tangent </em>to a circle and the <em>radius</em> form a right triangle (the radius is perpendicular to the tangent).

Here you are given the length of the tangent (6in), and the distance from the bisected vertex to the circle (2.75 in)

I tried to upload the drawing but the tool is not allowing it now.

In the figure:

  • The length of the tangent (6 in) is one leg of the triangle
  • The distance from vertex and the circle (2.75in)  along with the radius forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle: 2.75 + r.
  • The other leg is the radius, r.

Then, you can use Pythagorean theorem:

  • (r)² + (6)² = (r +2.75)²

Solve:

  • r² + 36 =  r² + 5.5r + 7.5625
  • 5.5r = 36 - 7.5625
  • 5.5r = 28.4375
  • r = 5.6875

The solution is in inches: r = 5.6875 inches ← answer
