Answer:

1 1/8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sails are similar,  corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so we have the equation

:24/3 = 9/b     where  b = base of the souvenir boat.

Cross multiply:

24b = 9*3

b = 27/24

= 1 1/8 inches.

Area would be 240 for the 2nd answer

240/15=16

The area is 16x bigger

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The variation in apparent gravitational acceleration (g) at different locations on Earth is caused by two things.The distance between the centers of mass of two objects affects the gravitational force between them, so the force of gravity on an object is smaller at the equator compared to the poles.
