Write the scale of the drawing as a fraction. Put the shorter length in the numerator.

\frac{7 \: cm}{1 \: cm}  \\

First convert the denominator to the same units as the numerator. Write an equivalent fraction with centimeters in the denominator. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, multiply the denominator by 100 to get centimeters in the denominator.

\frac{7 \: cm}{100 \: cm}  =  \:  \frac{7}{100}  \\

Write the scale factor as a ratio, using a colon

7/100   →  7:100

The scale factor is 7:100.

The length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 25 cm, the length of one of the legs is 10 cm. What is the length of the s
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

  21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.

The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...

  AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant

Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...

  AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25

  AD = 4

Then the segment DC is ...

  DC = AC -AD = 25 -4

  DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters

I need help with b and d please. Parabola questions
kumpel [21]
For the axis of symmetry it will be -b/2a but in this case the axis of symmetry is going to be y=4. the x intercept will be the roots (2,0) and (6,0) and for the y intercept it will be (0,3) since the parabola crosses the y axis at (0,3)

a carton contains 1 3/4 quarts of ice cream. One serving is a 1/5 of a quart. How many servings are in the carton?
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 8 3/4

Explanation: Well in order to solve this equation, you must make the denominators equivalent. A common factor between 4 and 5 is 20. But since we multiplied the denominators, we have to do the same to the numerators. 3 x 5 = 15. 1 x 4 = 4. Our new fractions are now 1 15/20 and 4/20. Now that we have made our denominators equivalent, we can divide. 1 15/20 divided by 4/20 is 8 15/20. But we are not done yet, after we must simplify the fraction. Which would be 8 3/4.
