The sears tower in chicago is 1450 feet high. A model of the tower is 24 inches tall. What is the ratio of the height of the mod
2 answers:
Answer:
The sear tower is times higher than the sears tower model
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual sears tower is equal to the scale factor
Let
z------> the scale factor
x-------> the height of the model
y-------> the height of the actual
so
we have
substitute
simplify
Remember that

Answer:
Each cookie will have to be sold for at least $0.90 if the profit is to be made is more than $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount spent on supplies is $20.
The number of cookies baked is = 50.
If the profit to be made is more than $25.00 .
Then we can safely say that all the cookies have to be sold for
= $20.00 + $25.00
= $45.00
Therefor the required inequality can be written as
50 x ≥ $45.00 ⇒ x ≥ ⇒ x ≥ $0.90.
Therefore we can say that each cookie will have to be sold for at least $0.90 if the profit is to be made is more than $25.
You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1
Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3
So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint
---------------------
Now we must find the slope of segment HI
H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3
So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3
-----------------------
Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0
So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x
So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
