Brian wants to put this picture in the school newspaper in a space that is 5 inches tall. if he enlarges the picture proportionally so that it is 5 inches tall, how many square inches will it cover in the paper? (picture- height=2 1/2 length=1 1/4)

The enlarged picture will cover 12.5 square inches in the paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the original picture, height is inches and length is inches.

The height of the enlarged picture is 5 inches.

Suppose, the length of the enlarged picture is   inches.

As he enlarges the picture proportionally, so the equation according to the ratio of height and length will be.......

Thus, the length of the enlarged picture is 2.5 inches.

So, the area of the enlarged picture

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
