The length of the wingspan of the finished model based on the dimensions of the kit is 0.75 feet

Given:

Kit

Plane = 27 feet

wingspan = 18 feet

Model:

Plane = 13.5 inches

Wingspan = x feet

convert 13.5 inches to feet

1 feet = 12 inches

13.5 inches = 1.125 feet

So,

equate Ratio of plane to wingspan

27 : 18 = 1.125 : x

27/18 = 1.125 / x

cross product

27 × x = 18 × 1.125

27x = 20.25

x = 20.25/27

x = 0.75 feet

Therefore, the length of the wingspan of the finished model based on the dimensions of the kit is 0.75 feet

Answer:

<u>131 seats</u> are in the 30th row.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theater is designed with the first row there are 15 seats, in second row 19 seats and in the third row there are 23 seats.

Now, to find the number of seats in the 30th row.

So, we get the common difference(d) from the arithmetic sequence first:

19-15=4.

Thus, d=4.

So, the first tem a(1) = 15.

The number of last row (n) = 30.

Now, to get the number of seat in the 30th row we put formula:

a(n) = a(1) + d(n-1)

a(30)=15+4(30-1)

a(30)=15+4\times 29

a(30)=15+116

a(30)=131

Therefore, 131 seats are in the 30th row.
