In the scale used on a blueprint, 1/5 inches represents 3 feet. On the blueprint, what is the length of a room with an actual length of 30 feet? (You have to convert the fraction to a decimal first)

A. 6 in

B. 2 in

C. 1/2 in

D. 2 1/2 in

9514 1404 393

  B. 2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths are proportional, so you have ...

  blueprint length / room length = (1/5 in)/(3 ft) = (x in)/(30 ft)

Multiplying by 30 ft gives ...

  x in = (1/5 in)(30/3) = 10/5 in = 2 in . . . . . note that units of ft cancel

The blueprint length of the room is 2 inches.

Comment on "convert the fraction"

As a general rule, you can work math problems with the numbers in any convenient form: fractions, decimals, scientific notation, percentages. Your calculator or your mental arithmetic methods may prefer one form over another, but conversion isn't always necessary.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
