A carpenter's square is a tool that is used to draw right angles. suppose you are buildong a toy car and you have four small cir
cles of wood that will serve as the wheels . you need to drill a hole in the center of each wheel for axle. explain how you can use the carpenter 's square to find the center of each wheel. answer
A carpenter's square is a ruler which looks like a right triangle. Being such, it has a long side and a short side. Assuming that the radius of each wheel is the size of the short side, we can use this to measure the mid point of the wheel. The mid point of the wheel is the optimal point where you can bore a hole.
The actual distance is 280. To find the answer you find the unit rate which is 1/40 (1 inch for 40 miles) then multiply the given number (7) by the unit rate (40).
