This represents a smaller scale drawing of the original printed photograph.
Crystal cuts a piece of wood into the shape of a triangle. The height of the triangle is 5 inches, and the base of the triangle measures 8 inches. Crystal makes a scale drawing of the triangle. If the height of her scale drawing is 2 inches, what is the area of her scale drawing?

The area of the scale drawing can be calculated using the scale factor, which is the ratio of corresponding dimensions. In this case, the height of the original triangle is 5 inches, and the height of the scale drawing is 2 inches. The scale factor is 2/5.
To find the area of the scale drawing, you need to square the scale factor and multiply by the area of the original triangle:
Scale Factor = (Height of scale drawing) / (Height of original triangle) = 2/5
Area of scale drawing = (Scale Factor)^2 * Area of original triangle
Area of scale drawing = (2/5)^2 * (1/2) * base * height
Area of scale drawing = (4/25) * (1/2) * 8 * 2
Area of scale drawing = 3.2 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 3.2 square inches.
What is the approximate circumference of a circle that has a radius of 90? Use 3.14 for π and express your answer to the tenths place.(1 point)
The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
Given that the radius (r) is 90, we can substitute in the values:
Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 90
Circumference = 565.2
Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle with a radius of 90 is 565.2 units.
