On the scale drawing of a car, the length from bumper to bumper is 6 inches. The car’s actual length, from bumper to bumper, is 16 feet. How many inches would be used to represent an actual length on the car of 10 feet? Explain or show your reasoning. Use

To represent an actual length on the car of 10 feet, 3.75 inches would be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be done by using propirtions.

6 inches : 16 feet

divide both ratios by factor 1/16

6/16 inches : 16/16 feet

1 feet : 6/16 inches

multiply both ratio's by 10

10 * 1 feet : 10 * 6/16 inches

10 feet : 60/16 inches

10 feet : 3.75 inches

To represent an actual length on the car of 10 feet, 3.75 inches would be used.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
