what is the scale if the scale drawing area is 5 square inches and the actual area is 125 square feet

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is: "1 square inch : 25 square feet" ;

or: " 1: 300 " .
_____________________________________________

5 in² /125 ft² = ?

5/125 = (5÷5)/(125÷5) = 25

So, the answer is: 1 square inch: 25 square feet.
____________________________________________
OR:

Convert: "25 square feet" to "square inches" ;

12 square inches = 1 square ft.

So; "25 square feet" = (25 * 12) square inches = 300 square inches.
__________________________________________________
So, " 1 square inch: 25 square feet" ;

= " 1 square inch: 300 square inches " = " 1 : 300 " ;

________________________________________________
So. The answer is: "1 square inch : 25 square feet" ;

or: " 1: 300 " .

Find the length of the line PA.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

RO divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.

The area of the one triangle is equal half area of the rectangle.

Calculate the area of rectangle:

$A_R=lw\\l=12,\ w=5\\\\A_R=12\cdot5=60$

The area of right triangle:

$A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}A_R\to A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot60=30$

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of RO:

$|RO|^2=5^2+12^2\\\\|RO|^2=25+144\\\\|RO|^2=169\to|RO|=\sqrt{169}\to|RO|=13$

The formula of an area of this right triangle is:

$A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}|RO||PA|$

Therefore we have the equation:

$\dfrac{1}{2}(13)|PA|=30\qquad|\cdot2\\\\13|PA|=60\quad|:13\\\\|PA|=\dfrac{60}{13}\\\\|PA|\approx4.62$

Slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -2x + 3y = 10 and contains P(10,-10)

Vlad [161]

Slope intercept: y = mx + b
3y = 2x + 10
Y = 2/3x + 10/3
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Y = -3/2x + b
-10 = -3/2(10) + b
-10 = -15 + b, b = 5
Equation: y = -3/2x + 5
