Question

A pool company is creating an image for a client that has the look of a 3-D image for a family pool and a similar dog pool. Find the value of b in the drawing below:

Answer 1

hello :)

Answer 2

since the pools are similar each to other, then we can write these proportions:
\[\Large \begin{gathered}
14:7 = 22:b \hfill \\
\hfill \\
14:7 = 16:c \hfill \\
\hfill \\
14:7 = a:9 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 3

so that is the whole answer sir,?

Answer 4

@Michele_Laino what does the "Q" untop of your score mean?

Answer 5

it means that I am a Qualified Helper of OpenStudy

Answer 6

Wow, nice :)

Answer 7

thanks! :)

Answer 8

@idontmind 22/b=14/7

Answer 9

please, you have to solve the first proportion in order to find the value of b

Answer 10

ill leave this to you :)

Answer 11

ok! :)

Answer 12

If I apply the fundamental property of proportions, I can write:
\[\Large b = \frac{{22 \times 7}}{{14}} = ...?\]

Answer 13

is the proportion 7

Answer 14

what is:
\[\Large b = \frac{{22 \times 7}}{{14}} = ...?\]

Answer 15

00.9

Answer 16

hint:
\[\Large b = \frac{{22 \times 7}}{{14}} = \frac{{154}}{{14}} = ...?\]

Answer 17

what is 154: 14 =...?

Answer 18

is it 9 @Michele_Laino I got disconnected sorry

Answer 19

hint:
154:14 = 11 right?

Answer 20

because of 22 right?

Answer 21

yes!

Answer 22

so, we have:
b=11

Answer 23

Just wondering why did you get b=22*7/14
instead of 22*87/14b?

Answer 24

oh ok so is that partially the answer

Answer 25

since the pool for dog is scaled by a factor 1/2 with respect to the other pool, so b has to be 22/2=11

Answer 26

That is the answer idontmind :)

Answer 27

OOOOOOOOO I GET IT!!!! THANKS!!!

Answer 28
