The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
Lesson 18: Computing Actual Lengths from a Scale Drawing.
Answer:
0≤x≤8
Step-by-step explanation:
the domain is basically all the x-values that are applicable to the graph.
Here we can clearly see that the graph starts at x = 0 and ends at x = 8. There are no other possible x-values which is applicable to the graph,
hence the domain is 0≤x≤8
Answer:
the 3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the domain (x) repeats the number 2 of the ordered pairs: (<u>2</u>,3) and (<u>2</u>,9)
We know that it costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. To find out how much it costs for 12, we first have to find out how much it costs for 1 square foot.
To find that, we would do $68 divided by 16, which is 4.25.
That means 1 square foot costs $4.25.
Then, we would multiply $4.25 by 12 to find how much 12 square feet costs.
$4.25 times 12 is 51.
So, it would cost $51 to have 12 square feet of flooring.
