Answer:

The actual wingspan of the airplane is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The airplane has a wingspan of a feet and a tailspan of b feet. If the tailspan in the drawing is 2 inches, and a/b = 3, what is the actual wingspan of the airplane?

Scale: 1 inch = 5 feet

we know that

The scale drawing is

1\ inch = 5\ feet

That means

1 inch in the drawing represent 5 feet in the actual

we have

\frac{a}{b}=3 ----> equation A

b=2\ in

step 1

Find the value of a in the drawing

substitute the value of b in the equation A

\frac{a}{2}=3\\\\a=2(3)=6\ in

step 2

Find the actual value of a (wingspan)

Applying proportion with the scale drawing

\frac{1}{5}\ \frac{in}{ft} =\frac{6}{x}\ \frac{in}{ft}\\\\x=6(5)=30\ ft

therefore

The actual wingspan of the airplane is 30 feet

The similar circles P and Q can be made equal by dilation and translation

  • The horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units
  • The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5

<h3>The horizontal distance between their centers?</h3>

From the figure, we have the centers to be:

P = (-5,4)

Q = (6,8)

The distance is then calculated using:

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

So, we have:

d = √(6 + 5)^2 + (8 - 4)^2

Evaluate the sum

d = √137

Evaluate the root

d = 11.70

Hence, the horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units

<h3>The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q</h3>

We have their radius to be:

P = 2

Q = 5

Divide the radius of Q by P to determine the scale factor (k)

k = Q/P

k = 5/2

k = 2.5

Hence, the scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5

two classmates have decided to read all the volumes in a popular series of books. Katie has already read 4 volumes and will cont
scoray [572]
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this

y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)

The we subtract one equation from the other to solve

0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10

Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20

So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.

Hope this helps, remember that Jesus loves you

What happens to the mean of the data set shown below if the number 20 is added to the data set?
defon

Answer:

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the given data is 2, 5, 6, 8

Mean = 2 +5+6+8/4

Mean = 21/4

Mean = 5.25

If number 20 is added, the data becomes 2, 5, 6, 8, 20

New mean = 2 +5+6+8+20/4

New mean = 41/5

New mean = 8.2

Taking the difference in the mean:

Difference = 8.2 - 5.25

Difference = 2.95

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

<em>NB: The data used was assumed since we are not given any data in question</em>

Given that u =&lt; 2,12 &gt;, and z =&lt; -7,5 &gt;
swat32

Using the dot product:

For any vector x, we have

||x|| = √(x • x)

This means that

||w|| = √(w • w)

… = √((u + z) • (u + z))

… = √((u • u) + (u • z) + (z • u) + (z • z))

… = √(||u||² + 2 (u • z) + ||z||²)

We have

u = ⟨2, 12⟩   ⇒   ||u|| = √(2² + 12²) = 2√37

z = ⟨-7, 5⟩   ⇒   ||z|| = √((-7)² + 5²) = √74

u • z = ⟨2, 12⟩ • ⟨-7, 5⟩ = -14 + 60 = 46

and so

||w|| = √((2√37)² + 2•46 + (√74)²)

… = √(4•37 + 2•46 + 74)

… = √314 ≈ 17.720

Alternatively, without mentioning the dot product,

w = u + z = ⟨2, 12⟩ + ⟨-7, 5⟩ = ⟨-5, 17⟩

and so

||w|| = √((-5)² + 17²) = √314 ≈ 17.720
