Each question is worti 2 punts 5. The Eiffel Tower, shown to the right, has a width of 328 feet and a height of 984 feet. Maria
is designing a T-shirt for her trip to France and she wants to put a picture of the Eiffel tower on
the front of the shirt. The maximum space she can use on the shirt is a rectangle with a width of
.75 feet and a height of 1.5 feet. Maria uses a scale factor of where k is an integer, to shrink
the Eiffel Tower and fit it on the t-shirt. What is smallest possible value for k?

The smallest possible value of k is 656

Step-by-step explanation:

The given width of the Eiffel Tower, w₁ = 328 feet

The given height of the Eiffel Tower, h₁ = 984 feet

The width of the space Maria can use on the shirt, w₂ = 0.75 feet

The height of the space she can use on the shirt, h₂ = 1.5 feet

We get;

The ratio of height to width of the Eiffel Tower = h₁/w₁ = 984/328 = 3

The height to width ratio of the space on the shirt = h₂/w₂ = 1.5/0.75 = 2

Therefore, that the aspect ratio of the space on the T-shirt is wider than the Eiffel Tower, the height of the space on the T-shirt is the limiting dimension of the scaled picture of the Eiffel Tower

Therefore, the scale factor, k = The ratio of the actual height of the Eiffel Tower, to the height of the space on the T-shirt

Where 'k' represent the integer value to shrink the Eiffel Tower and fit it on the T-shirt, and 'k' is the smallest ratios of the dimensions of width or height of the tower to the dimensions of the width or height of the space available on the shirt, given that the height to width ratio of the area on the shirt is smaller than that of the Eiffel Tower

Mathematically

k = h₁/h₂

∴ k = 984/1.5 = 656

The scale factor of the height of the Eiffel Tower to the height of the space available on the T-shirt, k = The smallest possible value of k = 656.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.
