of the second model are each increased by a common factor so that the height of
the second model is 15 inches. To the nearest tenth of a square inch, what is the
surface area of the second model?
Please help!
Answer: 242.7 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:
The first model has a height of 5 inches and a surface area of 80.9 square inches:
The proportion is : height/ surface area= 5 in / 80.9 in2
For a height of 15 inches
15 in/ x in2
So:
5/80.9 = 15/x
x= 15/ (5/80.9 )
x= 242.7 square inches
