Explain how you would choose a scale to use for a map. What things would you need to consider

1 answer:

4 0

A scale drawing is an enlarged or reduced drawing of an object that is similar to an actual object. Maps and floor plans are smaller than the actual size. A scale drawing of a human cell is larger than the actual size.

On a map, the equal sign in 1 in. = 30 mi does not mean that the two quantities are equal, as it would in an equation.

A scale is the ratio that compares a length in a drawing to the corresponding length in the actual object. If a 30-mile road is 1 in. long on a map, you can write the scale of the map in these three ways:

Find the prime factorization of 30

sattari [20]

Let us start dividing 30 by small prime numbers in increasing order .

the smallest prime number we use is 2

Let's divide 30 by 2 quotient is 15

so we get : 30 = 2* 15

15 is not a prime number , it can be factorized further .

now we start dividing 15

2 can not divide 15 so we move to next prime number that is 3

can 3 divide 15? yes .

we get a quotient 5

so 30 is now : 2* 15 = 2* 3*5

now we have to work on 5 but 5 is a prime number so we stop here .

the prime factorization of 30 is : 2* 3* 5

Answer : 2 *3*5

A rectangular prism had a volume of 252 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 14 centimeters and the width of the prism

mojhsa [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

$V=L\times W\times H$

FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=3cm$

In fact, the volume is $252cm^3$ because:

$V=14\times 6\times 3 \therefore V=252cm^3$

Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:

FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

$L=14cm \\ \\ W=6cm \\ \\ H=6cm$

So the new volume is:

$V=14\times 6\times 6 \therefore V=504cm^3$

<h3>What do we know about the volume of the new prism?</h3>

Well, the volume has increased from $252cm^3 \ to \ 504cm^3$ and since $504=2\times 252$ we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.

1 Point The circle below is centered at (-3, 2) and has a radius of 3. What is its equation?

arlik [135]

Answer:

(x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for a circle: (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2

Step 1: Determine what h, k, and r are

h is the x value of the point: -3

k is the y value of the point: 2

r is the radius of the circle: 3

Step 2: Plug in and solve

(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2

(x – (-3))^2 + (y – (2))^2 = (3)^2

(x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

Answer: (x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9
