Answer:

c/3 = 169/12
42 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to know the actual number of feet, we can write the proportion with that in the numerator.

$\dfrac{\text{actual feet}}{\text{scale inches}}=\boxed{\dfrac{c}{3}=\dfrac{169}{12}}\\\\c=\dfrac{3\cdot169}{12}=42\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{multiply by 3}$

The real caboose is 42 1/4 feet long.

Rectangle A has length 12 and width 8. Rectangle B has length 15 and width 10. Rectangle C has length 30 and width 15.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

yes; 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The length to width ratios of the rectangles are ...

A: 12/8 = 1.5

B: 15/10 = 1.5

C: 30/15 = 2.0

Rectangles A and B have the same aspect ratio, so are similar. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of A with a scale factor of 10/8 = 1.25.

What is the approximate area of the circle that fits perfectly inside of the square? Use Pi = 3.14 and round to the nearest tent

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

$19.625\text{ cm}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A square with base $5\text{ cm}$ , a circle that perfectly fits inside square.

TO FIND: Approximate area of circle.

SOLUTION:

Consider the figure attached.

let the radius of circle be $x\text{ cm}$

radius of circle $=\frac{\text{length of base of square}}{2}$

$x=\frac{5}{2}\text{ cm}$

$x=2.5\text{ cm}$

Area of circle $=\pi(radius)^2$

$=3.14\times(2.5)^2$

$=19.625\text{ cm}^2$

Hence the area of circle that perfectly fits inside the square is $19.625\text{ cm}^2$
