Nicole is running for school president. Her best friend designed a campaign poster, which measured 3 feet by 2 feet. Nicole like

the poster so much, she reproduced the artwork on rectangular buttons that measured 2 inches by 1 1/3. What is the scale factor?

Answer:

The scale factor is 18 to 1 for the painting

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to get the scale factor of the original to what is reproduced

Let us have same units first

Mathematically;

1 foot = 12 inches

3 feet = 36 inches

2 feet = 24 inches

So 36 to 2 and 24 to 1 1/3

That will be ratio 36/2 = 18 to 1

same as 25 divided by 1 1/3 = 18 to 1

If the area of a rectangle is 144 sq. in. and the length of one side is 18in. what is the length of the other side?

navik [9.2K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The other side has a length of 8

Discussion:

Area of a rectangle = l * w ( length times width). In our case

Area = 144 = l * w = 18 * w =>

18 w = 144 =>

w = 144/18 = 8

Thank you,

MrB

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of $(3,1)$ and directrix $y=5$ .

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.

The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

$(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola.

The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at $(3,5)$ .

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,

$h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3$ and $k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3$ .

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4p(y-3)$ .

Also $|p|$ is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

$|p|=2$

This implies that $p=-2\:or\:2$ .

Since the parabola turns downwards,

$p=-2$ .

Our equation now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3)$ .

$(x-3)^2=-8(y-3)$ .

We make y the subject to get,

$y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

This is the same as

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

A box has a volume of 192 cubic inches, a length that is twice as long as its width, and a height that is 2 inches greater than

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuboid : A cuboid is a three dimension shape. The length ,breadth and height of a cuboid are not same.

A cuboid has 6 faces.
A cuboid contains 8 vertices.
A cuboid contains 12 edges .
The total surface area of a cuboid is

= 2(length×breadth+breadth×height+length×height) square units

The dimension of a cuboid is written as length×breadth×height.

The volume is( length×breadth×height) cubic units

Given that the volume of the box is 192 cubic inches.

Let x inches be the width of the cuboid.

Since the length is twice as long as its width.

Then length = 2x inches

Again height is 2 inches longer than width.

Then height = (x+2) inches.

Therefore the volume of the cuboid is

$=[x\times 2x\times (x+2)]$ cubic inches

$=[2x^2(x+2)]$ cubic inches

$=(2x^3+4x^2)$ cubic inches

According to the problem,

$2x^3+4x^2=192$

$\Rightarrow 2x^3+4x^2-192=0$

$\Rightarrow 2(x^3+2x^2-96)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x^3+2x^2-96)=0$

$\Rightarrow x^3-4x^2+6x^2-24x+24x-96=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2(x-4) +6x(x-4)+24(x-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-4)(x^2+6x+24)=0$

Therefore x=4

Since the all zeros of x²+6x+24 =0 is negative.

Therefore breadth = 4 inches

length=(2×4) inches=8 inches

and height = (4+2)inches = 6 inches.

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Find the perimeter of the figure.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

26 meters

Step-by-step explanation: Ez. First add all the data you already have. You should end up with 19. Then, you want to find the length of the missing side. Well, we know it's 7 meters since its opposite is 7, and these lengths are in the same square. So 19+7 is 26 meters.
