irishboy123 · Answer

what do you actually need to calculate?  Btw

irishboy123 · Answer

cos it's 56deg is your just scaling down :-)

irishboy123 · Answer

****The angle of the roof on Wendy's dollhouse is 56°.****

2001 · Answer

Wouldn't it be different as we're referring to a scale model?

irishboy123 · Answer

no!!

2001 · Answer

Why not?

irishboy123 · Answer

ask Euclid !!

2001 · Answer

The father of Geometry?

irishboy123 · Answer

who?

2001 · Answer

This is irrelevant. Can you explain the question?

irishboy123 · Answer

cool!!   now "what would Euclid say"  ??

What does the question mean by saying, "She built a scale model of the dollhouse with a scale ratio `1:4.`"

irishboy123 · Answer

i think she made it 0.4 times bigger.  so that is $1 \to  1.4$ 

what do you think??

irishboy123 · Answer

Oh pants (!!) , with a scale ratio of 1:4, that means a 4x

2001 · Answer

Right. Considering that, what would the answer be?

irishboy123 · Answer

same angle, right?

2001 · Answer

I don't even understand the question.

tkhunny · Answer

This is a trivial question that requires neither calculation nor picture.

It's a scale model.  Why would the angles change?  Scale models are intended to reproduce their larger copies.  The lengths change.  The angles mustn't.

2001 · Answer

Well, what do you suggest then?

irishboy123 · Answer

Mmmm

irishboy123 · Answer

A ban ?!?!

2001 · Answer

This is a waste of time.

irishboy123 · Answer

Wendy's Dollhouse agrees :)

lol !!

welshfella · Answer

THe model has exactly the same shape as the dollhouse. Structures with the same shape have equal angles . So the answer is 56 degrees.
