Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles

Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches

2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original

So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.

Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,

length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.

The diagonals of kite ABCD intersect at E. If ∡EBC=30°, what is ∡BCE?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

∡BCE = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the angle marked BCE

From our diagram, the angle marked BCE is y

Looking at triangle BCE, we have the right angle, an angle measure of 30 and the angle marked y which we say is BCE

mathematically, the sum of all these will give 180 as the sum f the interior angles of a triangle is 180

Thus, we have that;

y + 30 + 90 = 180

y = 180-120

y = 60
