What is a scale factor?

Mathematics

Blababa [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Here is some helpful information from my mini lessons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides. Here you'll learn that the ratio of the perimeters of similar figures is equal to their scale factor and that the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of their scale factor. If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor. This means that the ratio of all parts of a polygon is the same as the ratio of the sides.

Find the area of the surface. the part of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 81 that lies above the plane z = 5.
IRISSAK [1]
<span>Here, we only need the upper hemisphere:
z = √(36 - x^2 - y^2).

Note that the cone and sphere intersect at z^2 + z^2 = 36 ==> z = √18
==> The region of integration is x^2 + y^2 + 18 = 36 ==> x^2 + y^2 = 18.

So via Cartesian Coordinates, the surface area equals
∫∫ √[1 + (z_x)^2 + (z_y)^2] dA
= ∫∫ √[1 + (-x/√(36 - x^2 - y^2))^2 + (-y/√(36 - x^2 - y^2))^2] dA
= ∫∫ √[1 + (x^2 + y^2)/(36 - x^2 - y^2)] dA
= ∫∫ √[36/(36 - x^2 - y^2)] dA
= ∫∫ 6 dA/√(36 - x^2 - y^2).

Converting to polar coordinates yields
∫(θ = 0 to 2π) ∫(r = 0 to √18) 6r dr dθ/√(36 - r^2)
= 2π ∫(r = 0 to √18) 6r(36 - r^2)^(-1/2) dr
= 2π * -3 * 2√(36 - r^2) {for r = 0 to √18}
= 12π (6 - 3√2)
= 36π (2 - √2).

I hope this helps! </span>

A basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet. To sketch the court on paper a scale factor of 1 foot to 16 feet is applied. What is t
Eddi Din [679]

Based on the dimensions of the basketball court, we can calculate that the area of the scaled copy is<u> 18 ²³/₆₄ feet².</u>

<h3>Dimensions of scaled copy</h3>

Every 16 feet of the actual court is 1 foot on the scaled copy. The dimensions of the scaled copy are therefore:

= 94 / 16                                                           = 50 / 16

= 5.875 feet                                                     = 3.125 feet

<h3>Area of scaled copy </h3>

= Length x Width

= 5.875 x 3.125

= 18.359375

= 18 ²³/₆₄ feet²

In conclusion, the area is 18 ²³/₆₄ feet².

You are installing a wood fence. The fence is 120 feet long. East wood slat to be installed vertically, is 3 3/4 inches wide. Wh
ddd [48]
3 3/4 inches = (3 3/4 / 12) feet = 0.3125 feet
120 feet requires  ------- x number of board.

120 feet/0.3125 feet / board = 384 boards.

1 board costs 1.40 
384 boards cost x

1.4 * 384.00= x*1 = x
537.60 dollars.

Note if you need to do this by dimensional analysis, it will look like this.

120 feet/fence [ 1 board / 3.75 inches] [ 12 inches/foot] [1.40 dollars / board]

All units that can be cancelled should be.
The result is 537.6 dollars / fence which is the answer you got.

Initially a pool contains 350 gallons of water. A hose is placed in the pool and the water is turned on. The hose adds 5.2 gallo
quester [9]
The amount of water that is turned in a minute is 5.2d. Given the fact that initially was 350 gallons of water everything you pour needs to be added to the initial amount. So the answer is V(x) = 350+5.2x (D). I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
