What is the scale factor of a model car if the scale is 1 Inch=2 feet

Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Answer:

To answer this question, you need to know how 1 inch compares to 1 foot, and in order to do that you need to convert these values to the same unit of measurement. You could convert them both to feet or to inches. Let's do inches since converting them both to feet would make the measurement of 1 inch a fraction (1/12 of a foot).

There are 12 inches in one foot, so your comparison is:

1 inch - 12 inches

This means that every foot you see in the object you are drawing can be represented on paper by a measurement of 1 inch.

If, for example a window measures 3 feet across, my drawing would be scaled down in my drawing in which my window measures 3 inches wide.

This keeps what you draw proportional to what you see.

Initially a ship and a submarine are stationary at sea level, positioned 1.78km apart. The submarine then manoeuvres to position
poizon [28]
I’m assuming ‘dives further’ means to go directly down

the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine is equal to the angle of depression of the submarine from the ship, if we assume the sea level is perpendicular to ‘directly down’.

let both of these angles to be = $ when the submarine is at A and ¥ when the submarine is at B (excuse the lack of easily accessible variables as keys)

then this become a simple trig problem:

A)

Let O be the position of of the ship, and C be the original position of the submarine.

therefore, not considering direction

|OC| = 1.78km = 1780m

|CA| = 45m

these are the adjacent and opposite sides of a right angled triangle.

But tan($) = opp/adj = |CA|/|OC| = 45/1780

therefore $ = arctan(45/1780) which is roughly 1.45 degrees,

B)

similarly, noting that |CB| = |CA| + |AB| = 45 + 62 = 107m


tan(¥) = 107/1780

¥ = arctan(107/1780) which is roughly 3.44 degrees

Please help. I need a step by step explanation. Extra points will be given as well as brainiest!!!
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

V =113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

A sphere has a surface area of 113.04

SA = 4 pi r^2

113.04 = 4 pi r^2

Let pi 3.14

113.04 = 4 *(3.14) r^2

113.04 = 12.56 r^2

Divide each side by 12.56

113.04/12.56 = r^2

9 = r^2

Take the square root of each side

3 =r

We want to find the volume

V = 4/3 pi r^3

V = 4/3 (3.14) 3^3

V =113.04

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 24. If the length of one leg is 8, what is approximate length of the other l
Verdich [7]

Something that a right triangle is characterised by is the fact that we may use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of any one of its sides, given that we know the length of the other two sides. Here, we know the length of the hypotenuse and one other side, therefor we can easily use the theorem to solve for the remaining side.

Now, Pythagoras' Theorem is defined as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

Given that we know that c = 24 and a = 8, we can find b by substituting c and a into the formula we defined above:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

24^2 = 8^2 + b^2 (Substitute c = 24 and a = 8)

b^2 = 24^2 - 8^2 (Subtract 8^2 from both sides)

b = √(24^2 - 8^2) (Take the square root of both sides)

b = √512 (Evaluate 24^2 - 8^2)

b = 16√2 (Simplify √512)

= 22.627 (to three decimal places)

I wasn't sure about whether by 'approximate length' you meant for the length to be rounded to a certain number of decimal places or whether you were meant to do more of an estimate based on your knowledge of surds and powers. If you need any more clarification however don't hesitate to comment below.

If the sum of a number and four is tripled the result is eight less than twice the number
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The number is -20.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number, then 3(x+4)=2x-8.

3x+12=2x-8

x=-20
