Answer:

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the sign made by Darius initially = 2 feet

Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches

Dimension of the flyer are 10 inches by 8 inches. Since, in original sign the measure of length is greater, therefore, the length of flyer is 10 inches and its width is 8 inches.

In order to find the scale factor we must convert the lengths and widths to same units. Lets convert the length and width of sign into inches.

Since, 1 feet = 12 inches

Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches = 2(12) + 6 inches = 30 inches

Width of the sign = 2 feet = 2(12) inches = 24 inches

Now we can find the scale factor by either comparing the lengths or widths of both the designs. Scale factor will be equal to the ratio of corresponding lengths/widths.

So, the scale factor would be:

Length of Flyer : Length of Sign

= 10 inches : 30 inches

= 1 : 3

= \frac{1}{3}

This shows, the length of flyer is \frac{1}{3} times as that of the sign. So, the scale factor that Darius must use is \frac{1}{3}. The length and width of the flyer are \frac{1}{3} as that of the sign.

The same scale factor would result if we would have used the ratio of widths instead of the lengths.

Scale Factor = Width of Flyer : Width of sign

= 8 : 24

= 1 : 3

Therefore, Darius must type the scale factor of \frac{1}{3} in his computer to get the size of the flyer.

Find the net area and the area of the region bounded by y=8cos and the x-axis between x=-pi/2 and x=pi
Andrej [43]
The net area of the region in relation to the x-axis, is just the integral at those bounds, thus

\bf \displaystyle \int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }~8cos(\theta )\cdot d\theta \implies 8\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }~cos(\theta )\cdot d\theta
\\\\\\
\left. 8sin(\theta )\cfrac{}{}  \right]_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }\implies [8sin(\pi )]~-~\left[8sin\left(-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right)  \right]\implies [0]-[-8]\implies 8
