The Wright Flyer was the first successful powered aircraft. A model was made to display in a museum with the length of 35 cm and

a wingspan of about 66.9 cm. The length of the actual plane was 21 ft 1 in., and the height was 2.74 m. Compare the length, height, and wingspan of the model to the actual plane and explain why any errors may occur. (Round any calculations to the nearest whole number.)

<span>To link the displayed Wright flyer in the museum with the actual plane, we have to calculate for the relation of the corresponding parameter. In this problem, for both the display and the actual plane, we are given with the length. Computing for the ratio gives us,</span>

<span>
    ratio = length of the model / length of the actual plane

Length of the model = 35 cm</span>

<span>
We need to calculate for the length of the model in ft.</span>

<span>
length of the model = (35 cm)(1 in/2.54 cm)(1 ft/12 in)
length of the model = 1.148 ft

</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Going back to the calculation for the ratio,
ratio = (1.148 ft)/21 ft
ratio = 0.055

Therefore, the measurements used in the model is equal to 0.055 times the actual dimensions.

Error may occur because of the number of significant figures measured for rounding up or down of the answers after each calculation. </span>

Leto [7]

Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

Each function below describes how something changes. Use the description to determine which function(s) describe exponential gro
cestrela7 [59]

Answer: E. The population decreased by 11% each year.

Step-by-step explanation: In A, the pollution increases at a constant rate, but in a linear way, in other words in each day, the pollution increases 10 grams; The same goes for C: ice "grows" a few milimeters each day; In D, as volume is calculated by the multiplication of π and its radius, the increase in the volume is still linear. In B, the proportionality is related to the power of the turbine not the growth or decay of it. In E, a population grows or decreases in a form of A=A₀(1±r)^t. In this case: A = A₀ (1-0.11)^t.

In conclusion, the function that better describes an exponential growth or decay is the decrease of a population.

Simplify square root of (1-sin theta)(1+sin theta)
Vinil7 [7]
Recall the important identities:

i) (a-b)(a+b)= a^{2}- b^{2}, the difference of squares formula.

ii) sin^{2} x+cos^{2}x=1, for any angle x.

Then,

from i)

\sqrt{(1-sin(theta))(1+sin(theta))}= \sqrt{1- sin^{2}(theta) }

then, from ii), we have 

\sqrt{1- sin^{2}(theta) }= \sqrt{cos^{2}(theta) }=cos(theta)


Answer: cos(theta)
