The proportion of length to width is \rm \dfrac{L}{W}.
The ratio remains consistent between both the scale representation and the actual dimensions.

\rm \dfrac{2.4}{3.6}=\dfrac{27}{W}

I calculated the L/W for the scale and equated it with the L/W of the actual representation.

We can now derive the unknown width.
Performing cross-multiplication results in:

\rm 2.4W=3.6\cdot27

Now dividing by 2.4 and simplifying gives us:

\rm W=40.5

I hope this helps!:)

Conclusion:

18 centimeters.

Detailed steps:

This problem can be solved using proportions. The given rectangle provides a ratio that is useful to derive the answer. This can be approached with the rule of three.

\frac{width}{length}=\frac{2.4}{3.6}=\frac{x}{27}

Next, we find x:

\frac{2.4}{3.6}=\frac{x}{27}\\x=\frac{2.4(27)}{3.6}=18

Thus, as per the proportion, the actual width is determined to be 18 centimeters.

When employing proportions and ratios, it’s important to ensure correct alignment of dimensions; for instance, if width is placed in the numerator, it must also remain in that position in the corresponding ratio.

Given: △ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8 Find: Perimeter of △ABC, Area of △ABC
Svet_ta [12734]

We are given the triangle

△ABC, with m∠A=60° and m∠C=45°, and AB=8.

To start, we will calculate all angles and sides.

Finding angle B:

The total of all angles in a triangle equals 180.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180.

Substituting the known values,

60° + m∠B + 45° = 180.

This gives us m∠B = 75°.

Calculating BC:

Using the law of sines,

\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}

We can substitute in the values.

\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}

BC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(60)

BC=9.798

Finding AC:

\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}

Now we'll input the values.

\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{AC}{sin(75)}

AC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(75)

AC=10.928

Calculating Perimeter:

p=AB+BC+AC

We substitute values here as well.

p=10.928+8+9.798

p=28.726

Calculating Area:

Using the area formula,

A=\frac{1}{2}AB \times AC \times sin(A)

we can then insert values.

A=\frac{1}{2}8 \times 10.928 \times sin(60)

A=37.85570...............Answer
