The answer to A. is 108cm or 1.08m
First convert 2m to cm:
2m x 100 = 200 cm
Next convert 6m to cm:
6m x 100 = 600 cm
Divide the height of the person by his/her shadow:
200cm ÷ 600cm = <span>0.33333333333 = .3</span>
Multiply 360cm by .3:
360cm x .3 = 108cm
108cm ÷ 100 = 1.08m
The answer to B. is 6.8 cm.
The scale seems a bit small... are you sure you don't mean 0.8 m?
a = length of actual car.
8.5 x 0.8 = 1 x a
6.8 = 1 x a
6.8 ÷ 1 = a
6.8 = a
If you did mean 0.8 m... the answer is 680 cm or 6.8 m.
a = length of actual car.
0.8m x 100 = 80cm
8.5 x 80 = 1 x a
680 = 1 x a
680 ÷ 1 = a
680 = a
680 ÷ 100 = 6.8
Answer:
- The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Explanation:
I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.
As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.
The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the<em> parabola</em>, through which the axis of <em>symmetry</em> passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.
As a <em>unique feature</em> of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.
Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.
The <em>symmetry</em> is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.
Let the unknown side be "z" inches
Through pythagoras:
Because the square of the two sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
This means that
So the missing side is 16 inches
Hope this helped
