@will.h can you help me with a couple more? because I am a moron

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

OpenStudy (mecharv):

Calling yourself a moron doesn't help either. P.S Sorry just a bit high :D

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

I asked for help earlier on this and everyone turned out to be wrong @will.h

OpenStudy (maddix):

what

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@mecharv omg

OpenStudy (mecharv):

From the given info, 2/5=x/10.5 so can you find x?

OpenStudy (mecharv):

It uses the same similarity property.

OpenStudy (maddix):

come on

OpenStudy (will.h):

How did you know they meant the 1st dimensions not the 2nd? @mecharv that's what am confused about what dimensions are similar

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@Will.H same I'm not sure

OpenStudy (mecharv):

It says the two drawings are similar and also utilize as much as space as possible.

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@mecharv I keep getting 21/5 which is 1/5 and that makes it 4.2? So i am right?

OpenStudy (mecharv):

Yes you are right @dehydrated

OpenStudy (will.h):

oh yeah it is indeed the 1st because they are trying to find the Max size it could get to for the next phase which is 8.5 x 11 but anyway the way you arranged was wrong we know that the length is the largest dimesnion so therefor \[\frac{ x }{ 2 } = \frac{ 10.5 }{ 5 }\] solve 5x = 21 x = 4.2 so 4.2/2 = 10.5/5 2.1 = 2.1 which means would be 2.1

OpenStudy (mecharv):

@Will.H I am pretty sure it is 2/x=5/10.5

OpenStudy (will.h):

oh wait you just need to find the missing dimesnion which is 4.2 yeah

OpenStudy (will.h):

i found the ratio

OpenStudy (mecharv):

@Will.H Oh I figured it out :) You are right

OpenStudy (will.h):

Thanks so are you :)

OpenStudy (dehydrated):

@merchav @Will.H THANK YOU

OpenStudy (mecharv):
