Alright, lets get started.

An actual fly is about .2 inches long.

The model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long.

Converting 27 feet into inches, it will be = 27*12 = 324 inches

So, lets first find the scale factor, so

scale factor will be = \frac{324}{0.2}

So, scale factor will be = 1620

It means from the original size, the model fly is scaled to 1620 times.

The actual fly has a wingspan of about .5 inches.

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 0.5*1620

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 810 inches

Converting inches into feet,

the model fly will have a wingspan = \frac{810}{12} = 67.5 feet

So, the wingspan will be 67.5 feet.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer:

parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are straight lines and never meet if you carried them on. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle, so those lines are parallel. :)

(a)

A right angle sums to 90 

6x + 4x + 10 = 90

10 x = 80

x = 8

(b) straight line = 180

5x + 13  + 3x + 7 = 180

x = 20

(c)  Sum of triangle angles = 180

3x + 5  + 2x + 18 + 2x + 17 = 180

x = 20

(d) Sum of two angles in right angle = 90

90 = x + 30

x = 60

The graph models the function y = −x2 − x + 6. Which attribute(s) of the graph tell you the root(s) of the function? Determine t
Alex73 [517]
In a graph the roots of the function are given by the cut points with the x axis.
 On the other hand, we have the following equation:
 y = -x2 - x + 6
 To find the roots, we equate to zero:
 -x2 - x + 6 = 0
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + x - 6 = 0
 (x-2) (x + 3) = 0
 The roots are:
 x1 = 2
 x2 = -3
 Answer:
 
The roots are:
 
x1 = 2
 
x2 = -3
