If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.
Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be
New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600
Final Answer: 1600 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides being equal (also two equal base angles).
Let us assume the length of the two equal sides to be x meters each, and the length of the unequal side to be y meter. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 90 m, it can be expressed as:
x + x + y = 90
2x + y = 90
But the length of the equal side is three fourth of the unequal side, i.e x = 3/4y
Therefore:
2(3/4y) + y = 90
3/2y + y = 90
2.5y = 90
y = 90/2.5
y = 36 meters
Also x = 3/4 * 36 = 27 meters
The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters
The probability that both marbles will be a red color is:
6..... ⇔ number that satisfies the constraint
_____
15..... ⇔ number of outcomes
Answer:
250
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of labourers * Number of days worked = Total number of working days
Total number of working days to construct a 4km long road: 
Total mumber of working days to construct a 8km long road: 
Labourers: 20000 ÷ 80 = 250.
250 labourers are required.
