Homework Help #17

Tonight's HW help brought to you with help from Wyatt and the rest of 9th period Home-base.

#1. One of the issues with this question is the use of cm and km in the same problem.  You need to make a ratio comparing the distance on the map to the actual distance (4cm : 56 km) then reduce.  In the end you should change the units so they match
 (1 km = 10000 cm)

#2.  Use only one of the measurements (length or width).  Again the units do not match but we know that 3 ft is 36 inches.  So the scale factor is found by making a ration comparing the scale drawing size to the actual.  (hint the answer online is incorrect)

#3.  The length of the actual battery is 1.5 inches and the scale drawing is 2.5 inches. Make a ration using these numbers.  You should know which one is the numerator

#4. The trick is they give you one diameter and one radius.  The diameter of the actual volleyball is 24 cm.  The diameter of the scale drawing is 12 cm. Make a ratio using these numbers.

#5a. Sketch (without a ruler) an envelope that is 3 times as big as the orginal.  Use the techniques we used in class

#5b, this is a reduction it should shrink in size to make it easier use 3/4 as the scale factor. The picture is a tag. That is 4 inches wide making the scale drawing 3 inches wide.

#6 Draw a triangle (right) using the scale factor (which means to mulitply) so 6 inches times 1/4 is 1.5 inches.
