Answer: the actual length and width of the room is 24ft by 36ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. This means that every 1 inch on the on the architectural plan represents 4 feet on the actual building.
Therefore, if the length of the room as measured on the drawing is 6 inches, the actual length of the room will be
6 × 4 = 24 feet
Also, if the width of the room as measured on the drawing is 9 inches, the actual width of the room will be
9 × 4 = 36 feet
Let x = length of segment EF.
Assume that
(a) line segments AD, EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.
Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write
x=3.2 (nearest tenth)
Answer: B.
3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
x° + 61°+ 68° + 104° = 180°
x° + 129°+104°=180°
x°+133°=180°
x°=180°-133°
x=47°
Answer:
34.3 in, 36.3 in
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Hypothenus = 50 in
1st leg (L₁) = L
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L
Thus, we can obtain the value of L by using the pythagoras theory as follow:
Hypo² = L₁² + L₂²
50² = L² + (2 + L)²
2500 = L² + 4 + 4L + L²
2500 = 2L² + 4L + 4
Rearrange
2L² + 4L + 4 – 2500 = 0
2L² + 4L – 2496 = 0
Coefficient of L² (a) = 2
Coefficient of L (n) = 4
Constant (c) = –2496
L = –b ± √(b² – 4ac) / 2a
L = –4 ± √(4² – 4 × 2 × –2496) / 2 × 2
L = –4 ± √(16 + 19968) / 4
L = –4 ± √(19984) / 4
L = –4 ± 141.36 / 4
L = –4 + 141.36 / 4 or –4 – 141.36 / 4
L = 137.36/ 4 or –145.36 / 4
L = 34.3 or –36.3
Since measurement can not be negative, the value of L is 34.3 in
Finally, we shall determine the lengths of the legs of the right triangle. This is illustrated below:
1st leg (L₁) = L
L = 34.4
1st leg (L₁) = 34.3 in
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + L
L = 34.4
2nd leg (L₂) = 2 + 34.3
2nd leg (L₂) = 36.3 in
Therefore, the lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 34.3 in, 36.3 in
