1. You have that:
- The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
- The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.
2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:
Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2
As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.
3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:
(5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
(5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
10x-6=6x+2
10x-6x=2+6
4x=8
x=8/4
x=2
10 feet 6 inches = 126 inches. Length of the car is 126 inches and the model length is 7 inches.
126 : 7 = 18
The scale factor of the model to the actual car is 1 : 18.
Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.
To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:
= 9/6
= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot
For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.
If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:
= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot
= 21 cups of shredded carrot
