Inside a square with side length 10, two congruent equilateral triangles are drawn such that they share one side and each has on
e vertex on a vertex of the square. What is the side length of the largest square that can be inscribed in the space inside the square and outside of the triangles?
1 answer:
Answer:
5 length
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram attached shows two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE. Since both squares share one side of the square BDFH of length 10, then their lengths will be 5 each. To obtain the largest square inscribed inside the original square BDFH, it makes sense to draw two other equilateral triangles AGH & EFG at the upper part of BDFH with length equal to 5.
So, the largest square that can be inscribe in the space outside the two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE and within BDFH is the square ACEG.

Answer:
The enlargement will be 25 times and the enlargement area will be .
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that each grid unit is equal to 3 inches. SO we have to use this scale.
The total height of the scale drawing is 21 inch and the enlargement has a height given as 105 inches. Therefore it has scale factor of 5. It means that each dimension is enlarged by 5 times the dimension in the scale drawing. So the enlargement of the logo will be 25 times and the enlargement area will be 2250 square inches.
