Beautiful ! What a great exercise ! I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field. I'll just accept it and go from there.
(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)
= 2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile
= 0.164 inch .
(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter
Research Conclusions:
If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then
-- Alpha Centauri is 0.164 inch from us.
-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom.
Playing with this same fun concept a little more:
-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun.
-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !
wow !
Answer:
The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the square ABED find the length side of the square
we know that
AB=BE=ED=AD
The area of s square is

where b is the length side of the square
we have

substitute


therefore

step 2
Find the area of ACIG
The area of rectangle ACIG is equal to

substitute the given values

step 3
Find the area of shaded rectangle DEHG
The area of rectangle DEHG is equal to

we have


substitute

step 4
Find the area of shaded rectangle BCFE
The area of rectangle BCFE is equal to

we have


substitute

step 5
sum the shaded areas

step 6
Divide the area of of the shaded region by the area of ACIG

Simplify
Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

therefore
The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18
Answer:
(a) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m of the line given using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)
m =
= - 
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= 3 → (a)
Answer:
4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a square pyramid is (a²)*h/3
256=a²*12/3
256=a²*4
256/4=a²
64=a²
a=8
Now we know that the square is 8 by 8.
The volume of a square prism is a²h
256=64h
256/64=h
h=4
Also, a square pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a square prism.
12÷3=4
