If each 6 in. On the scale drawing below equals 3 feet, what is the actual area of the shape in square units?
1 answer:
Answer:
32 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the diagram attached below similar to the one required to complete the question below.
From the diagram,
Actaul Area of a parallelogram (A) = Actual Base(b)× actual heigth(h)
A = bh.......................... Equation 1
From the question,
If each 6 in on the scale drawing equals 3 feet
Given:
base on the scale drawing = 8 in.
Actual base(b) = (8×3)/6 = 4 feet.
Height on the scale drawing = 16 in
Actual height(h) = (16×3)/6 = 8 feet.
Substitute these values into equation 1
A = 4×8
A = 32 ft²
Hence the actual area of the shape is 32 ft²

The expression that must be true for a to be parallel to b are mAngle2 = 58Degrees and <1 = 4x - 10
<h3>Lines and angles</h3>A line is the shortest distance between two points and the point where two lines meet is known as an angle
From the figure shown
m<2 = 58 degrees (alternate exterior angle)
Since the sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees, hence;
3x-1+<2 + 4x - 10= 180
3x-1 + 58 + 4x - 10 =180
7x + 47 = 180
7x = 180- 47
7x = 133
x = 19
Hence the expression that must be true for a to be parallel to b are mAngle2 = 58Degrees and <1 = 4x - 10

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Angles and Lines</u>
It's convenient to recall two basic principles of angles:
The sum of internal angles in a triangle is 180°
Two linear angles are supplementary, i.e. they sum 180°.
Angles ABC and CBD are linear. Since we know the measure of angle CBD, thus the measure of angle ABC is 180°-6x.
Now focus on the triangle. The sum of its internal angles is:
x + 40 + 3x + 10 + 180 - 6x = 180
Simplifying:
-2x + 230 = 180
Subtracting 230:
-2x = -50
Dividing by -2:
x = -50 / (-2) = 25
x = 25°
Now find the measure of angle CAB
