Answer:

130 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual distance = 31/4 x 40

convert 31/4 to an improper fraction

to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator

2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step

3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator

13/4 x 40 = 130 miles

In the city, the dust and between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

Answer:

Part 1) The length of each side of square AQUA is $3.54\ cm$

Part 2) The area of the shaded region is $(486\pi-648)\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the radius of the circle S

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$A=25\pi\ cm^{2}$

substitute in the formula and solve for r

$25\pi=\pi r^{2}$

simplify

$25=r^{2}$

$r=5\ cm$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the length of each side of square SQUA

In the square SQUA

we have that

SQ=QU=UA=AS

$SU=r=5\ cm$

Let

x------> the length side of the square

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$5^{2}=x^{2} +x^{2}$

$5^{2}=2x^{2}$

$x^{2}=\frac{25}{2}\\ \\x=\sqrt{\frac{25}{2}}\ cm\\ \\ x=3.54\ cm$

Part 2) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the larger circle minus the area of the square plus the area of the smaller circle

<em>Find the area of the larger circle</em>

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=AB=18\ units$

substitute in the formula

$A=\pi (18)^{2}=324\pi\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the length of each side of square BCDE

we have that

$AB=18\ units$

The diagonal DB is equal to

$DB=(2)18=36\ units$

Let

x------> the length side of the square BCDE

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$36^{2}=x^{2} +x^{2}$

$1,296=2x^{2}$

$648=x^{2}$

$x=\sqrt{648}\ units$

step 3

Find the area of the square BCDE

The area of the square is

$A=(\sqrt{648})^{2}=648\ units^{2}$

step 4

Find the area of the smaller circle

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=(\sqrt{648})/2\ units$

substitute in the formula

$A=\pi ((\sqrt{648})/2)^{2}=162\pi\ units^{2}$

step 5

Find the area of the shaded region

$324\pi\ units^{2}-648\ units^{2}+162\pi\ units^{2}=(486\pi-648)\ units^{2}$

Can someone please help me with this math problem:)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{x}{12}$ = $\frac{15}{9}$ ( cross- multiply )

9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 20
