What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6
6 = 15
y = 6
(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y
The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.
Answer:
The correct option is;
Use a scale factor of 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
A = (1, -6)
B = (5, -6)
C = (6, -2)
D = (0, -2)
A'' = (1.5, 4)
B'' = (3.5, 4)
C'' = (4, 2)
D'' = ( 1, 2)
We note that the length of side AB in polygon ABCD = √((5 -1)² + (-6 - (-6))²) = 4
The length of side A''B'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((3.5 -1.5)² + (4 - 4)²) = 2
Which gives;
AB/A''B'' = 4/2 = 2
Similarly;
The length of side BC in polygon ABCD = √((6 -5)² + (-2 - (-6))²) = √17
The length of side B''C'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((4 -3.5)² + (2 - 4)²) = (√17)/2
Also we have;
The length of side CD in polygon ABCD = √((6 -0)² + (-2 - (-2))²) = 6
The length of side C''D'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((4 -1)² + (2 - 2)²) = 3
For the side DA and D''A'', we have;
The length of side DA in polygon ABCD = √((1 -0)² + (-6 - (-2))²) = √17
The length of side D''A'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((1.5 -1)² + (4 - 2)²) = (√17)/2
Therefore the Polygon A B C D can be obtained from polygon A''B''C''D'' by multiplying each side of polygon A''B''C''D'' by 2
The correct option is therefore;
Use a scale factor of 2.
The area is 76 ft squared, and the perimeter is 43.1 ft. CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BECAUSE I WAS SO BAD AT AREA/PERIMETER
Answer:
- 12 ft parallel to the river
- 6 ft perpendicular to the river
Step-by-step explanation:
The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.
72 = W(2W)
36 = W²
6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river
12 = 2W . . . . the length parallel to the river
_____
<em>Development of this relation</em>
Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...
A = xy = x(T -x)/2
Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...
x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2
The corresponding area width (y) is ...
y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4
Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.
left means subtracting
6 7/8 - 2 5/8
Whole numbers subtract each other
Numerators subtract each other
The denominators stay the same.
6-2= 4
7-5=2
4 2/8
Reduce 2/8. Divide by 2. 2/2= 1, 8/2= 4
4 2/8=4 1/4
Answer: 4 2/8 = 4 1/4 cups left
