The answer is 4 and 3/8, because if you subtract 5 3/4 from 10 1/8, you'll get your answer: 4 3/8. Hope this helps, and good luck!!
let's first off take a look at the <u>tickmarks</u>, three <u>side tickmarks</u>, so all those 3 sides are equal, all have a length of y - 25, so is an equilateral triangle.
there are two <u>angle tickmarks</u>, meaning those two angles are equal, wait a second! if those two angles are equal, that means is an isosceles triangle.
now, in an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, but also all angles are equal, since the sum of all interior angles is 180°, then each angle is really 60°.
let's notice that angle on the upper-left-corner, is a right-angle, but 60° are on the equilateral triangle, and so the remaining 30° must be on the isosceles triangle.
the isosceles triangle has then a vertex of 30°, and twin angles, the twin angles let's say are each a° so then
30° + a° + a° = 180°
30 + 2a = 180
2a = 150
a = 75° = y
now, let's recall, the isosceles triangle has twin angles but it also has twin sides, so the side "x" and the side with the tickmark are equal.
well, we know that y = 75, so the sides with the tickmark are then (75) - 25 = 50 = x.
It's quite simple when you break it down
20/45 let's divide by 5
4/9
we can't divide anymore, no common denominator. The answer is 4/9
The dimension of the document is 35 inches by 40 inches.
It is redrawn at a scale of 1 1/2 or 3/2 or 1.5
The dimension will be:
35 * 1.5 = 52.5 in
40 * 1.5 = 60 in
Then redrawn again at 1/4 or 0.25
52.5 * 0.25 = 13.125 in
60 * 0.25 = 15 in
So the final dimensions of the drawing is 13.125 in by 15 in
