A conference will take place in a large hotel meeting room. The organizers of the conference have created a drawing for how to a

rrange the room. The scale indicates that 1/2 inch on the drawing corresponds to 12 feet in the actual room. In the scale drawing, the length of the room is 3 1/3 inches. What is the actual length of the room?

Answer:

The actual length of the room is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scale = \frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet$

Required

Determine the actual measurement of $3\frac{1}{3}\ inches$

Represent the required actual measurement with x

i.e.

$3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x$

And we have:

$\frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet$

$3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x$

Cross Multiply

$x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 * 3\frac{1}{3}$

Convert fraction to improper fraction

$x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 *\frac{10}{3}$

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{120}{3}$

$\frac{x}{2} = 40$

Multiply both sides by 2

$x = 40 * 2$

$x = 80\ feet$

<em>The actual length of the room is 40 feet</em>

Si el largo de un rectángulo mide el doble del ancho que es "a", ¿cuál es su área?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

El área es 2 veces el cuadrado del ancho del rectángulo.

Step-by-step explanation:

El área de un rectángulo viene dado por:

$A = a*l$

En donde:

a: es el ancho

l: es el largo

Si el largo es el doble del ancho:

$l = 2a$

Entonces el área es:

$A = a*l = a*(2a) = 2a^{2}$

Por lo tanto, el área es 2 veces el cuadrado del ancho del rectángulo.

Solve the system of linear equations for x and y.(cos θ)x + (sin θ)y=1(−sin θ)x + (cos θ)y = 0x=y=

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\bold{x =cos\theta}\\\bold{y=sin\theta}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations is:

$(cos\theta)x+(sin\theta)y=1\\(-sin\theta)x+(cos\theta)y=0$

We have to solve the equations for the values of $x, y$ .

Let us use elimination method in which we eliminate one of the variables from the two variables.

For this, let us multiply the first equation by $sin\theta$ and second equation by $cos\theta$

Now, the equations become:

$(cos\theta.sin\theta)x+(sin\theta.sin\theta)y=sin\theta\\\Rightarrow (cos\theta.sin\theta)x+(sin^2\theta)y=sin\theta ....... (1)\\\\(-sin\theta.cos\theta)x+(cos\theta.cos\theta)y=0\\\Rightarrow (-sin\theta.cos\theta)x+(cos^2\theta)y=0 ..... (2)$

Now, let us add (1) and (2):

$(sin^2\theta)y+(cos^2\theta)y=sin\theta\\\Rightarrow (sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta)y=sin\theta\\\Rightarrow (1)y=sin\theta\\\Rightarrow y = sin\theta$

Using the equation:

$(-sin\theta)x+(cos\theta)y=0$

Putting value of $y$ :

$\Rightarrow (-sin\theta)x+(cos\theta)sin\theta=0\\\Rightarrow (sin\theta)x=(cos\theta)sin\theta\\\Rightarrow x = cos\theta$

So, the answer to the system of linear equations is:

$\bold{x =cos\theta}\\\bold{y=sin\theta}$

Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

DedPeter [7]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: For a function, each x-coordinate corresponds to exactly one y-coordinate.

To determine whether the graph shown here

is a function, we can use the vertical line test.

The vertical line test tells us that if each x-coordinate on the graph corresponds to exactly one y-coordinate, then any vertical line that we draw on the graph should hit the graph at only one point.

For the graph show here, any vertical line that you draw with hit the graph at only one point which means it does pass the vertical line test.

So this graph is a <em>function</em>.
