In a scale model of a table, centimeter represents inches.
Scale
Answer the following.
(a)The height of the real table is inches. What is the height of the table in the scale model?
(b)In the scale model, the length of the table is centimeters. What is the length of the real table?
Lacking data. No scale model. Cannot copy and paste here.
To solve these questions, we need to know the scale of the model. You mentioned that 1 centimeter represents x inches, but you didn't specify the value of x. Please provide the value of x so I can give you the accurate answers.
To find the answers, we need to use the scale given in the problem.
The scale tells us that 1 centimeter represents X inches. However, we don't know the value of X, so we need to find it first.
(a) The height of the real table is X inches. To find the height of the table in the scale model, we need to apply the scale. We can set up a proportion to solve for X:
1 centimeter / X inches = Y centimeters / 1 inch
Here, Y represents the height of the table in the scale model. Rearranging the equation, we get:
Y centimeters = (1 centimeter * X inches) / 1 inch
Simplifying further, we get:
Y = X
Since we know that 1 centimeter represents X inches in the scale, the height of the table in the scale model is also X inches.
(b) In the scale model, the length of the table is Y centimeters. To find the length of the real table, we need to apply the scale again. We can set up a proportion to solve for Y:
1 centimeter / X inches = Y centimeters / Z inches
Here, Z represents the length of the real table. Rearranging the equation, we get:
Y centimeters = (1 centimeter * Z inches) / X inches
Simplifying further, we get:
Y = Z / X
Since we know the length of the table in the scale model is Y centimeters, we can substitute this value and the value of X (found in part a) into the equation to find the length of the real table.
