Bottom part of the greenhouse has a length of 350cm a width of 220cm and a height of 250cm. The angle at the peak of the roof measures 90 degrees. Sketch the frame and label it with its actual dimensions.
How do I calculate the actual demensions?
it seems you need a scale factor. Can't translate from drawing dimensions to real dimensions without it.
To calculate the actual dimensions of the greenhouse frame, you can use the Pythagorean theorem and some basic geometry principles.
1. Start by sketching the base of the greenhouse, which is a rectangle with a length of 350 cm and a width of 220 cm.
2. Next, draw the height of the greenhouse, which is 250 cm. This will form a right triangle with one of the sides of the rectangle being the hypotenuse.
3. Since the angle at the peak of the roof is 90 degrees, the height of the greenhouse will be perpendicular to the base rectangle.
4. To find the actual dimensions, you need to determine the length and width of the greenhouse frame.
a) The length of the frame is equal to the diagonal of the base rectangle plus twice the height. Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can calculate the diagonal of the base rectangle as √(350^2 + 220^2). Then, add twice the height, which gives you:
Length of the frame = √(350^2 + 220^2) + 2 * 250 cm
b) The width of the frame is simply the length of the base rectangle. So, the width of the frame is 350 cm.
5. Label the sketch with the calculated values: the length of the frame, the width of the frame, the length of the base rectangle (350 cm), the width of the base rectangle (220 cm), and the height of the greenhouse (250 cm).
By following these steps, you can calculate and label the actual dimensions of the greenhouse frame.
