The corresponding sides of the model and the actual bridge are in proportion because the two solids are similar.
The scale factor from the model to the actual bridge is 5/25 = 6/30 = 8/40 = 1/5.
Answer: 1/5
The way we would answer the question would be to express it as
100-9(n-1) with n being the nth term of the pattern.
Why is this? We know we subtract 9 each time and START from 100.
Remember though that 100 is the first term in the sequence. So, we would have (n-1)*9 to subtract 0 from our 1st term and 9 from our second term.
Also, we have 9*(n-1) because we are just subtracting multiples of 9. It is always going to subtract by 9.
If you needed the answer here it is...
The answer to the problem would be
100-9(13-1)
= 100-9(12)
= 100-108
= -8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's move the 
to the right-hand side so we can determine what constant we'll need on the left-hand side to complete the square:
From here, since the coefficient of the 
term is 
, we know the square will be 
(since 
it's half of ).
To complete this square, we will need to add 
to both sides of the equation:
Now we can take the square root of both sides to figure out the solutions to :
Error! Because that does not make any sense
180-38= 142. So your answer would be 142 for dc.
