On a scale drawing with a scale of 1 inch = 60 feet, the height of a building is 6.75 inches. How tall is the actual building?

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4

i believe it is the square root of 122 because when you turn it on it's side, to where the 5 inches is on the bottom, it looks like it is the same length.

so the rectangle is 80cm (area)

now to find the area of a triangle.

base times height.

4 times 8.

your answer is 96cm.

hope this .
