OpenStudy (hysusonic):
what is the connection
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Well one of them are ft and one are inches. and 1 foot = 12 inches
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
okay now make it easier on yourself and convert the ft to inches
OpenStudy (hysusonic):

OpenStudy (hysusonic):
umm how'd you get that?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
i added up the inches and got 16 inches
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
so you think 45 feet = 16 inches?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
No im just saying thats what im doing rn
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
didn't i say we were going to make the 45 ft into inches first then continue?

right?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
yup
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
so what's the connection in numbers between the two?
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
and idk if this is right but divide 540/16 and get 33.75. they both are inches
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
ummm why 16?

5+4+4+3=16
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
with that logic, you would have to add all the sides of the big one and then divide by 16 and even then it would be wrong
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Iim sorry but you can be nicer about all this.....
OpenStudy (hysusonic):
sorry i'm a little bit angry from home stuff... so back to work, the connection between the two figures are on the big side
OpenStudy (triciaal):

Plz do
OpenStudy (triciaal):
the walkway is the perimeter is the sum of all the lengths around the path
OpenStudy (triciaal):
on the scaled diagram the sum is agreed 16 ins
now see that 5 ins on paper = 45 ft on the ground
1 inch on paper = 9 ft we have 16 ins so do the equivalent use ratio same sale
OpenStudy (triciaal):
*scale
OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
Ok, im still a little lost and theres a lot of people here
