Scale factor |
2008-05-28 |
|
From Riley:
I have a math problem, and a big test coming up on Friday or Thursday (my teacher hasn't decided yet.) I need help understanding how
I would do this problem. Here it is: they wanted me to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle when they only give me the scale factor. I've
delt with scale factors before, but this is quite confusing. I have done the scale factor way by having a rectangle that maybe has a width of 10 and a
height of 20, and I needed to find what the scale factor would be for a rectangle with the width of 5 and a height of 10. I know that they scale factor
would be 2, right? But this just gives me the scale factor, and I have to FIND the perimeter and area. Hopefully you can get back to me tonight.

From Simon:
A figure skater is directly beneath a spotlight 10 m above the ice. IF she skates away from the light at a rate of 6m/s and the spot follows her, how fast is her shadow's head moving when she is 8m from her starting point? The skater is (almost) 1.6m tall with her skates on.

I want to fill my backyard slope with fill dirt. The slope is 50 feet wide and the distance from the top of the top of the slope to the bottom is about 15 feet deep and the slope angle is at a 45. I want to know how many yards of dirt do I need to fill a space that is 20 feet out, 15 feet deep at a 45 degree angle.

Liquid is being pored into the top of a funnel |
2008-05-25 |
|
From Stella:
Liquid is being pored into the top of a funnel at a steady rate of 200cm^3/s. The funnel is in the shape of an inverted right circular cone with a radius equal to its height. It has a small hole in the bottom where the liquid is flowing out at a rate of 20cm^3/s. How fast is the height of the liquid changing when the liquid in the funnel is 15cm deep?
At the instance when the height of the liquid is 25cm, the funnel becomes clogged at the bottom and no mo re liquid flows out. How fast does the height of the liquid change just after this occurs?
