The small sign's perimeter is 36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor between two figures is obtained by:

Scale = \frac{P_{l}}{P_{s}}

So,

We know that

Scale= 5:3\\P_l = 60\ in\\

Putting the values in the above equation of scale factor we get

\frac{5}{3} = \frac{60}{P_s}

Cross multiplication

5 * P_s = 60*3\\5P_s = 180

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5P_s}{5} = \frac{180}{5}\\P_s = 36

Hence,

The small sign's perimeter is 36 inches

How can you find the whole when you know part and the percent.
Usimov [2.4K]

An example should make this clear.

If  $50  is 40%   what is the value of the whole amount?

Answer:-  Whole amount = 100^%

By proportion this =  (100/ 40) * 50

= 2.5 * 50

= $125    (answer)

Can someone help with these trigonometry problems

4. What you want to do is first find the tan ratio, because tangent is opposite / adjacent, which you can use to find x.

So tan(52) = 1.28 ish. So we know that x/18 = 1.28.
Then multiply both sides by 18.

x / 18 * 18 = 1.28 * 18

x = about 23.

5. Now, you can use the pythagorean's theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Just input all values.

18 ^ 2 + 23 ^ 2 = c ^ 2

324 + 529 = c ^ 2

853 = c^2

square root of 853 = c

x = 29.2 ish

6. In this case, use cosine, or adjacent / hypotenuse.

cos(16) = 0.96 ish

so that means 24/x = 0.96

Then basically,

24 / 0.96 = x

x = 25

So x = 25

Then you can use the Pythagorean's Theorem again. I'm not going to go as in depth.

a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = c ^ 2

24 ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = 25 ^ 2

576 + b ^ 2 = 625

b ^ 2 = 49

b = 7

8. Use tan here. opposite/adjacent Again, not going as in depth.

tan(55) = 1.43 ish

1.43 = Y / 22

1.42 * 22 = Y

Y = 31.24 ish

Length of MN:

31.24 ^ 2 + 22 ^ 2 = c ^ 2

976ish + 484 = c ^ 2

1460 = c ^ 2

x = 38.2 ish

10. Use cosine.

cos(63) = about 0.45

Adjacent / hypotenuse

3 / x = 0.45

3 / 0.45= x

x = 6.67

And then pythagorean's Theorem.

6.67 ^ 2 = 3 ^ 2 + b ^ 2

44.5 = 9 + b ^ 2

35.5 = b^2

b = about 6
