how to rewrite rule in symbols:
At a certain time of day,the length of a shadow s cast by an object is twice the length of the object L
each length h in a copy 1/100 the length k in the original
To rewrite the given rule in symbols, we can use variables to represent the different quantities mentioned.
Let's assign the following variables:
- The length of the shadow: s
- The length of the object: L
- The length in a copy: h
- The length in the original: k
According to the rule:
" At a certain time of day, the length of a shadow 's' cast by an object is twice the length of the object 'L'. Also, each length 'h' in a copy is 1/100 the length 'k' in the original."
We can express this rule using mathematical equations:
1. The length of the shadow 's' is twice the length of the object 'L':
s = 2L
2. Each length 'h' in a copy is 1/100th the length 'k' in the original:
h = (1/100)k
These equations represent the given rules in symbols.
