A town's chamber of commerce printed a map of the buisiness district. The map is 12 inches square, and 1 inch on the map represe

nts an actual distance of 300 feet. A larger version of the same map of the business district is printed with the side length of %50 longer than the side length of the previous map. On the larger map, what is the actual distance ,in feet, represented by 1 inch?

Answer:

450 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the map was increased by a percentage and that percentage is given we can simply multiply the added percentage to the value of feet per inch in order to get the new amount of feet that every inch represents. Like so ...

300ft * 1.50 = 450ft

Therefore, by multiplying 300 * 1.50 (which is 50% more of the original size) we get 450ft. This means that every inch in the larger map represents a total distance of 450 feet in actual distance.

1/10 of 2000 is 200 pounds. so 200 pounds of cheese

i guess you mean 100 times more lettuce than beef so that would be 200,000 pounds of lettuce

200+200,000=200,200 final answer

Match the following items.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\angle DBC=40°

From the triangle, using the theorem that center angle by an arc is twice the angle it subtend at the circumference.

m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times \angle DBC\\m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times 40=80

Also, the diameter of the circle is BD. As per the theorem that says that angle subtended by the diameter at the circumference is always 90°,

m\angle BCD=90

From the Δ BCD, which is a right angled triangle,

m\angle DBC+m\angle BDC=90\textrm{ (right angled triangle)}\\40+m\angle BDC=90\\m\angle BDC=90-40=50

Now, using the theorem that angle between the tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference.

Here, chords CD and BC subtend angles 40 and 50 at the circumference as shown in the diagram by angles m\angle DBC\textrm{ and }m\angle BDC and EF is a tangent to the circle at point C.

Therefore, m\angle DCF=m\angle DBC=40\\m\angle ECB=m\angle BDC=50

Again, using the same theorem as above,

m\angle DCF=50\\\therefore m\textrm{ arc BC}=2\times m\angle DCF=2\times 50=100

Hence, all the angles are as follows:

1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40

What is the solution set of the quadratic inequality 6x^2+1 greater than or equal to 0?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2 + 1 <= 0

6x^2 <= -1

x^2 <= -1/6

Since we cannot take the square root of a negative number, there is no solution.

Segment YB is x+3 units long and segment BW is 2x-9 units long. The diagonal YW is ___ units long.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment YB = x + 3

Segment BW = 2x - 9

Add the two segments.

x + 3 + 2x - 9

3x - 6

The diagonal YW is 3x - 6 units long.
