Jason and Adam are using a kit to build their own electronics board for a computer project. They use a scale drawing included in
the instructions to help build the board. Jason will use the scale factor to find the board's actual length and width, then multiply those dimensions to find the board's area. Adam says he knows another way. Answer the questions to show how Adam could find the area of the scale drawing, and then use this strategy to find the area of the electronics board. 1. What is the area of the board shown on the scale drawing? Explain how you found the area. Write your answer in the space below. 2. How can Adam use the scale factor to find the area of the actual electronics board? Remember, he uses a different method than Jason. Write your answer in the space below. 3. What is the area of the actual electronics board? Write your answer in the space below.

Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs 7
Use Pythagoras' identity to solve for the diagonal d
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
d² = (7)² + (7
)²
= 147 + 147
= 294 ( take the square root of both sides )
d = = 7
≈ 45.37 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.
We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work. You might have to approximate a little.
I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).
Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.
You may use where
are points on the line.
Or you can line up the points vertically and subtract then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.
Like this:
( 64 , 65 )
-( 67.5, 67.5 )
--------------------
-3.5 -2.5
So the slope is -2.5/-3.5=2.5/3.5=25/35=5/7.
Now use point-slope form to find the equation:
where
is the slope and
is a point on the line.
Distribute:
Simplify:
Add 65 on both sides:
