Answer:

1 inch : 14.08 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find to find the length and the width of the billboard.

The area of a rectangle is given by A= length x width

Let's call w the width of the billboard ⇒The length of the billboard will be 2.5w

Area = w (2.5w)

2,250 = 2.5w²

2250/2.5 = w²

900 = w²

30 = w

Now, to find the scale in the drawing we are going to use a ratio.

  • We have the width of the billboard, the area of the billboard and the area of the scale drawing.
  • We are going to write these values as a ratio to find the width of the scale drawing.

\frac{x}{30} =\frac{160}{2250}\\ x=\frac{(160)(30)}{2250} \\x= 2.13

Therefore, the width of the scale drawing is 2.13.

To find the scale used we can use a rule of three:

2.13 inches ------- 30 feet

1 inches --------------  x feet

x = 30/2.13 = 14.08 feet

Therefore, the scale used is 1 inch: 14.08 feet

Width = w
Length = 2.5w

Area of Rectangle: Width × Length
w (2.5w) = 2250
2.5w^2 = 2250
w^2 = 2250/2.5 = 900
w = Sq rt of 900 = 30
l = 75

Ratio of inches to ft
x/30 = 160/2250
cross multiply: 2250x = 160 × 30
2250x = 4800
x = 4800/2250 = 2.13333...

length
x/75=160/2250
2250x = 75(160)
2250x = 12,000
x= 12,000/2250
x = 5.3333...

scale is 2.13" × 5.33"

Find an expression equivalent to 1-sinx ^2/1-cosx ^2
madam [21]

Answer:

cot²x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1, then

1 - sin²x = cos²x

1 - cos²x = sin²x

Thus

\frac{1-sin^2x}{1-cos^2x} = \frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x} = cot²x

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

<u>The area of the larger triangle is 315 inches²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

Pre-image triangle has a base of 7 inches and a height of 10 inches

Scale used : Factor of 3

2. What is the area of the larger triangle??

For calculating the area of the larger triangle, we use the scale this way:

Base = 7 inches * 3

21 inches

Height = 10 inches * 3

30 inches

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 (Base * Height)

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 (21 * 30)

<u>Area of the larger triangle = 630/2 = 315 inches²</u>
